Communicated. Mr. Editor--- I see in your issue, of last week, an able communication in reference to the graveyard, on the hill, in the rear of the Baptist church.—You will pardon your correspondent, as he is one who never writes for the public eye, and would not now, if he did not feel so deeply interested.—“Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.” Every one who has a calculating mind can readily see, by figuring a little, that half an ace of ground is insufficient for burial purposes, in a town with such a population, present and prospective, as Cartersville. It is absurd to insist upon the enlargement of the ground at its present location. The absolute immediate necessity for the city authorities to go forward and secure grounds suitable—affording ample room for white and black—laid off with system and order, may be conceived by all, if they will examine the case. 1st. Small limits of the present grounds. “ONE LIVING IN THE VICINITY OF THE HILL.” |
