Weston Cemetery Will Be a Beautiful Place This Year.

Weston cemetery has always Men well cared for and each sexton has well performed his duties but never Mfore has tbe beautification of the burial ground Men undertaken on so large a scale as teat attempted by J. H. Holden, the new caretaker. He has made private contracts with nearly seventy people for placing beds of flowers on their lots, which he will give bis personal care throughout tbe season. The flowers selected will be almost constant bloomers and of sufficient variety to .greatly interest all visitors to the cemetery as well as to honor the dead. A number from out of town, who are unable to gvle the graves of their loved ones proper attention arranged to have Mr. Holden look after this for them. Tbe severe winter froze out a great many had arranged tor a sufficient number to take care of all so-far contracted, there Ts a chance of disappointment on later orders and he is therefore urging that all who wish flower beds to let him know at once. The order can be left either with him or with A. F. Long, a member of the cemetery board.
