Description
Last week Argus published a letter regarding the negro contributions for improvement of the Platte City cemetery. Below is a list of those who have contributed money which has been turned over to the Hobart Wagle Post American Legion. In the Methodist church an organization was formed by effort of the pastor to work for the fund systematically. The Baptist people, too, were liberal, but were not organized. It is a creditable showing, and the giving is not yet over.
