The Treasury of the Society of ertl
St. Michael is empty, and unless J.
more mousy is collected at once, plea
work in the cemetery will have to any
be suspended next week.
The work of leveling the ground
should be continued and the bad
grasses destroyed, which is now
well under way. (or
The best time to level the ground
is during the winter mouths when
there is no grass in the way and

winter the ground is packed hard
and in the Spring it is easy to
work the mowing machine.
It will take about three hundred
dollars per year to keep the work
of the cemetery going all the time,
and unless this amount is raised
every year, the work now com.
meunced and well advanced, will
have to be abandoned.
