ferent parts of the grounds; for ornamen- 
tal purposes a variety of shrubs and flower

Officers — Col. Richard Coulter, president 
of First National Bank, president; J. R. 
Eisaman, vice president of First National 
Bank, secretary-treasurer; J. A. Lawson, 
general superintendent. 
Sexton Jesse J. Shelby, who has charge 
of Fairview Cemetery in Joplin, Mo., has 
reason to be very proud of the improve- 
ments he has made there recently. The 
weeds have been replaced by flowers and 
green grass, the driveways have been 
graded, gravelled and laid out in good taste 
and street signs have been set at all the in- 
tersections. Heretofore there has been no 
fund available for this purpose except a 
comparatively small mound derived from 
the sale of lots. But through a new or- 
dinance, the entire income from certain 
mine royalties due the cemetery will be 
available for its care and maintenance.
