Protection Should Be
Given Grove Sonth of Town
Sometime during the past few
days some picnic party, or others,
who visited Hackberry Grove,
built a fire against one of the
trees. Whether this was done
by some grown ups or younger
people, ’ we wonder if they
thought of the possibility of de-
stroying this tree.
New Features Added
To The Sentinel
Beginning witb the issue of
June 6 the Sentinel assumes a
larger, more complete newspa
per task, covering a wider range
of events, and appealing to every
resident of Seminole and snr
rounding communities. A num
ber of outstanding features will
be added to the Sentinel, to make
This grove is one of the beauty it more interesting and a better
spots in this section, its shade
and beauty should be preserved
instead of destroyed. Several of
these trees have been used as
targets for rifles, the well placed
there by some who would enjoy
this spot, has been abused, and
had to be repaired with time and
expense. No restrictions have
ever been made to the use of
these grounds, but it seems
some people had rather take a-
way or destroy this natural
beauty spot.
In the future let everyone who
visits this grove see that no
damage is done by your visits.
It has taken years to grow these
trees—and it seems to us a
shame that in this civilized age
some thoughtless or careless
person should destroy or muti
late any tree or other thing of
beauty and usefulness as we
have mentioned above.
Let’s be considerate of the
other fellow’s desires, in case
we do not have one of our own,
and help protect this grove.
Recent Heavy Rains
ssipw . ,w ......
Damage Local Cemetery
Several interested cittzens
Thursday solicited the assistance
of others and did some much
needed work out at the Seminole
cemetery. Many of the early
burial sites had fallen in and
others were in bad condition.
The recent heavy rains had
caused considerable damage and
several markers were caused to
lean over and fall.
Let’s not forget our loved ones
and friends who have been placed
in our cemetery. Many lots
there belong to people who have
moved to other localities, but
there are enough local people
who should be interested to keep
our cemetery in a better condi-
tion.

The larger Sentinel, filled with
a more varied type of news is to

material available in a weekly
newspaper. Some of the most
widely known names in the news
paper field will be represented in
