Wo hear considerable complaint of the treatment the burial lots in Weston cemetery received at the hands of thoughtless persons on Memorial Day. This is not right and those who go there should take mo’re notice and not desecrate the beautiful surroundings in the cemetery. No doubt it would have been better had the exercises been held in the court house yard and then have gone to the cemetery, and these thoughtless acts would not havo been committed.

We have printed programs for the Epworth League convention of this district, which will be held here on Monday and Tuesday, June 25 and 26. There are thirty charges in this district and each chapter is entitled to four delegates, and if each chapter sends its quota there will be quite an attendance. A large number of visitors are also expected. and Rensselaer should do the proper thing by welcoming them, to show them we appreciate their coming.
