GRAVE YARD.We deem it our duty to call the attention of the citizens of our town to the wretched condition of our grave yard. Although we boast of the rapid improvement of our town and county, and of the enterprise of our citizens with much truth, we are forced to acknowledge that this most flourishing place on the upper Wabash has never acquired a title to a grave yard, and the bodies which have been deposited at the place which is now used, are mere “tenants at will” of their narrow tenements. The graves are placed withlittle regard to regularity, and the ground is being waited. Will not our citizens take up the matter, obtain the greund in some form, and lay it off into lots. That enough could be disposed of immediately to pay for the land, we have not the leastdoubt.
