very Largely attended. Services were held from
the house at o'clock, and at the Universalist
church at 2:3o. The obsequies were under
charge of the Royal Arcanum, about fifty mem
bers OF which were in attendance. A large
number of friends from Kent were present, and
the church was filled to its utmost capacity with
sorrowing people who listened with bowed heads
and saddened hearts to the solemn words spoken
over the mortal remains of one whose many
excellencies had endeared him to all.
The floral offeringe were appropriate and
beautiful. From the Social Club there was a
broken wheel of roses, ferns, lilies and hya-

Crocers and COME ctioners.

Grading at the Williams sad iron site is COM
pleted, and masonssare busy on the main build
ing. Work has also been commenced on the
foundation of one of the other principal build
ings. Several soft places have been encounter
ed at the west end of the main building trenches,
and it is thought that little piling will be nec-
essary to insure solid support for the building.
The grounds present very lively appearance,
and it is many day since Ravenna has wit
messed such an exhibition of mid-winter energy:
In spite of the persistent cold weather and
heavy snow, the foundation walls of the main
building are about completed, and good be-
ginning made on those of the two other larger
buildings. Several car loads of brick are stand
ing on the B. & o. switches, which were finished
some time ago. Two car loads were also re-
ceived from Chagrin Falls, having been taken
from the ruins of the plant recently destroyed
by fire. A lot of window frames have been
unloaded, aud in a short time it is expected
that large force of brick masons will be at
work on the superstructure of the three princi-
pal buildings. When Lnce the foundation walls
are built the various buildings will rise rapidly
into structural being.
The C. & P. switch will enter from the SOUTH
running up to the last building to the north.
Considerable of the grading has already been
completed for this siding.
Nothing but extreme severity of the elements
will prevent general rush of operations all
along the line of work commenced.
1t is easy to see that the manufacture OF sad
irons in Ravenna will be commenced at an ear
ly date, and that if the size of a plant is any
indication, the business will be conducted on a
very extensive scale.
The preparations certainly indicate by far the
largest mandatory in equipment and force to
be found in Ravenna, and as the concern has
been in existence for upwards of fifty years, the
anticipations of our citizens resolve themselves
into justihable certainty.
