HICKORYNUTS FREE AT WESTON CEMETERY

Sexton Holden Will Let All Children Have Equal Chance at Gathering Them On Saturday. Cemetery Sexton J. H. Holden has so far tried to keep the children who wanted to gather hickorynuts out of the cemetery. He has wanted tp put all on the same basis and not give an advantage to those who lived near the cemetery. To accomplish the end of fairness he has decided to let all children who wish to do so gather nuts there on Saturday of this week, Oct. sth. The frosts of the past few nights have caused a number to drop and while the crop is not large there should be a few nuts for all who come to the cemetery tomorrow. Sexton Holden will be there in person to see that fair play is observed and that no damage is done to the cemetery. Sexton Holden reports that many people came there for genanium slips following the announcement in The Republican. This should result in a large number of fine house plants this year and in many geraniums, which make a fine lawn plant, next year.
