Editor Payette Enterprise:
As this is my first attempt in life
to write anything for a paper for
publication, i (rust you will give this
blundering article space in your
valuable paper.
Now as I listened to the address of
the Rev. D. C. Peters yesterday my
mind reverted back to the settlement
of our nice little city. But oh what
sad thoughts rushed to my mind to
city
limits is to be seen a sacred spot
that is seldom visited by any of our
think that, almost within our
citizens on that grand Memorial Day.
Now, the only reason I can assign
for this, is the condition it is now in.
No road leading into it, no water to
beautify it, hence no loving
hand
can do anything for it although they
may visit it every year on Decoration
Day, as I have done for a number of
years. Now 1 have no relatives bur
ied there, but. a number of old friends

whose last resting places on
are marked by nice monuments and
as I visited this sacred spot yester
day 1 thought it was a shame—yes a
shame to our flourishing community
that we would let this sacred place
remain in the condition that it now
is in. after my old friend bos so gen
erously donated the land. Yes, my
old frleud Upchurch donated the land
and Lex Johnson told me ho would
donate the water free if we would
lay u pipe from his ditch to
grounds.
It would take about eighty rods of
four Inch pipe to do this, then about
three days work with two men and
teams to level and put the ground
In shape to plant trees and
other shrubbery as the friends might
wish to plant to make this a small
garden spot. One line of fence
also needed and a few other small
