Coon NEws-The meeting Of the grow
crs for our Cannery, en- Friday night last,
vas well attended and every one evlnccd
an interest in the matter and a Willingness
to embark largely next season. There
were upwards of sixty acres reported at
this meeting and hali.dozen or more OF
the largest growers in the neighborhood
were not present but have since been
waited UPON. There is little doubt that
all the land can be secured to be farmed in
corn, tomatoes and peas that the proprle-
tors desire. This industry is squarely on
It's feet now and will hcnceforth be one OF
Mechanicstowns best business interests,

plastering and the upper one Will be ready
by the end of the week. The space be

the second story has been filed in with
sawdust to deaden the sound of walking
on the second floor, the rooms have been
walnscoted and a raised platform placed
at each end extending across the full width
of the rooms. We have been informed
that cach room will seat fifty four SchO-
ars, which will be amply sufficient for the
present requirements. There can be no
doubt that the building will he completed
within the time specified in tue contract.

b. expected to conduct it personally and
in accepting the offer of President, DR.
Byrne claims the right as well as the 'lu-
