Skag way, .June 2i> Toth-? Kditor ?
I observed a few words in a recent
of your paper to the effect that
one or two of the ladies organizations
were discussing way* nui means for
'raproving the road from the rai'road
shi ps to the cemetery. I'ro'<ably the
t " ondition of the trail Iwlwwn thc?.e
v io nts is unknown to the m joritv of
our readers, but those of us who have
had occas on to so over it, bear>op
t>ack io Mother Rart'i nil that was
mortal of ooe we loved, or, as a last
lokeu of resrect and . s eem for one
v. hum we were wont to meet in business
or social intercourse. ?e, sir, roust
surely admit that the r"> jeot the ladies
now have snb judice is one crying for
immediate action,
Th cemetery K a bleak a' d d -ol.ite
spot, yet the si'e Is not without -:ts
own grandeur at this Reason of t li>
jear. Owing to the topography of the
ra'ley, po-sibly it is the only available
spot for the purpose for which it is
used. To permanently improve the
approach thereto m.iy not be as easy
a matter as a casual observer might
think, but surely, Mr. Kditor, (or<the
boaor of our dead, the ladies will
: ot be allowed to lack support in their
s-lf-choseo at d worthy task, acd I pro
these few liue *o assure them of the
sympathy ami material assistance of
many to whom the broken trail uitist
have tx?en symbolical of tha broken
h?art wiihio.
