Two Borabfr tank eta, containing
the mortal remains of Mr. and Mrs.
E. C. Lindsey, one gray casket with
mottled bars of white enclosing the
body of Miss Melen Metzger were
borne to a triple grave at Mount
Scott cemetery on Saturday after
noon by as many hearses with colors
in harmony with the caskets they
contained, it was a sororwful pro
cession that wended its way down
the Howell Valley road following the
forms of the three who had left
(Itesham for their last home in the
city of the dead.
Fully a thousand sorrowing rela
tives and friends attended the triple
funeral service at the M. E. church.

such products, aggregating a m il
lion dollars In value and will run the
plaut to its full capacity as long as
vegetables can be supplied. The new
cannery, which replaces the old one
burnt last fall, is alm ost an exact
duplicate of its predecessor.
It is
built on the same spot und is exactly
the same size. But it has been pro
vided with many more conveniences
and safeguards and a lot of new ma
chinery that was not found in the
old one.
Among the improvements ut first
noted is the concrete office vault
which will resist any fire that may
occur. The office is in the same old
