WESTON CEMETERY VERY BEAUTIFUL.

Many New Flower Beds Contribute To Its Beauty; Grounds Are In > Excellent Cendßlen. •- • * ’ f Jfc. -r-iv Did it ever occur to you what.roal beauty there is iu some of your everyday haunts? A close observation of your surroundings during the day’s routine of work and recreation would be a revelation to you and awaken in you a keener appreciation of the goodness of tilings as they are. While by chance passing Weston cemetery some time ago, the writer was prompted by an impulse to walk in/and the half hour’s stroll through the grounds was very gratifying. Everywhere the yards are spick and span, the grass closely mowed and abundantly thick; and scarcely anywhere can rubbish, such as dead-twigs and the like, be seen. Standing at a slight elevation, one’s gaze maV cover rod after rod of thick, rich green and unblemished lawn, interrupted , only here and there by a beautiful bed of flowers. The grounds are truly beautiful and their excellent condition represents the expenditure of much time and careful labor and reflects much credit to the efforts and ability t>f J. H. Holden, the sexton.

~ Although spring was very late and Mr. Holden was delayed about a month in planting the flowers, they are now coming on in good shape and in two or three weeks the flower beds will be at their best. New sprays and buds oil flower beds will be filled out in that time. Mr. Holden had made arrangements with many people to make flower beds on lots and graves and he already has made about 150 new ones. Much of the rubbish and dumping ground has been cleared away on the south and west sides and filled in with dirt, enabling the building of several more lots. Besides the beds built for the people, about fifteen or twenty new beds for ornamental purposes have been built through the cemetery, where formerly there were ugly places and part of the driveway has been bordered with colodaum. As one approaches the cemetery from the east, huge letters of sweet elysium can be seen on the broad embankment, spelling “Weston Cemetery.” Over one thousand plants were required for this* ; Mr. Holden is'planning many and vast improvements for the cemetery, which, when the land recently purchased of Mrs. Beck, is prepared for use, will make Weston cemetery dfie of the most beautiful among the surrounding counties.

RENSSELAER, INDIANA, TUESDAY, JUNE 18,1912.

Rensselaer Depopulated By 95 Persons By Sunday Excursion.

The Monon ran Its first summer excursion through Rensselaer Sunday. Thetrain consisted of six coaches and started at Carmel at 6:40 a. m. t arriving here about 9 o’clock and in Chicago at 12 o’clock. The train was not as crowded as was expected, probably due to the threatening skies, and the Monon traveling passenger agent, John Priest, was somewhat disappointed. In spite of the rain, however, Rensselaer contributed her share to the excursion. Agent Beam sold about ninety-five tickets, and it is believed that many more would have been sold bad the weather conditions been more favorable in the morning. The rates from here are only 75 cents a round trip and the people are very quick to take advantage of the cheap fare to go to see the big leaguers play or go to a theatre. Among the local fans who took- in the White Sox-Boston game Sunday were Van Grant, Shorty Adams, Don Beam, Lee Richards and Howard Clark.
