BEAUTIFUL.

The most beautiful and chaste monument we have seen in many a day is one erected in the grave-yard last week over the graves of three-young.daughters of Mr. Geo. W. Spitler. It is in the form of an arch spanning the graves. On the arch is a representation of Christ blessing little children, and underneath, on a tablet stretching from side to side, are the inscriptions. Above, the arch are vines, honey-suckles, roses and other’flowers combined, giving the w hole a lovely appearance, and a fitting emblem to be erected over the tombs of the departed whose memories are cherished by the living. The work is from the shop of H. C. Kirk & Co., of Monticello, and reflects credit oil that firm.
