Stoner, a native of Mouat Joy, has just erected in the Mount Joy cemetery a very fine white bronze monument at a cost of $1300 It is the product of a Bridgeport, Conn. firm. Monuments of this character have one advantage over marble and granite and that is dura- bility as they are known to stand as long as 800 years. Marble or granite, on a hot summer day, has a tendency to slightly contract and should it suddenly rain- upon the figure it will expand, which in courge of time will cause it to crack while bronze will remain the same when the weather is at its extremes. The monument is 9 feet high and was placed in position by H. U. Coble of Elizabethtown. This makes another beauty for that cem- etery which is among the finest in tue state. 2 A B, Mastersonviile Mites The painters are beautifying the residence of Abram Shelly.
