GREENEVILLE Children Making a Nuisance of Them- selves in the Hickory Cemetery— Shetucket Ca. Planting Garden — Pavement Work Rapidly Progressing —Notes. Many residents in the vicinity of the Hickory street cemetery are wondering why it is that chiidren are allowed to play in the cemetery. Every night after school hours dozens of children flock to the burying ground to play. The majority of the young people have no relatives buried there, so think nothing of walking on. the graves, climbing upen the gravestones and lit- tering the whole cemetery with rub- bish. Some of the headstones have even been broken by the youngsters. It is smail wonder that people who have loved ones lald to rest in the cemetery complain at the desecrations committed by the children who are allowed to piay in the place. Shetucket Co. Garde: : The Shetucket Co. has ploughed and harrowed a large piece of land off Prospect street near Second street and on Tuesday had a man ensaged in planting potatoes. Also the company has granted the use of some of its land for gardens to some of the em- ployes and these persons have heen busily engaged in cultivating their plots. Pavement Work Progressing. The North Main stréet pavement work is steadily progressing, the laver lof crushed rock having been laid from Golden street to Pulaski hall. The excavating done by the steam shovel ‘has reached a point near the ledge on the west side of the street. The pour- ing of the cement will soon be started. Notes.
