and Will Make Deliveries
Six tons of ice were produced

Rev. Smith, whose father had
been a Confederate soldier, and
whose father’s brother had been a
Union soldier, spoke on the beauti

enemies had now become united
as friends and how descendants of
men of these former armies had
fought side by side for one cause
in the recent World war. Rev.
Smith is a veteran of the Spanish-

denounced war as being worse than
