viewing it's powerful and skillful
arrangements, looking at capacity
ofl0O,OOO cans of goods from be-
ginning to finish per day; cold
storage rooms for $4,000 barrels and
an ice freezing factory of 80 tons
per day. The following names are

Brother Lovett, genial and kind
as we have said, threw the portals
wide, from tin plate to can soldered,
sealed with the rich pumpkin and
luscious apple, therein concealed,
waiting the hereafter to be revealed,
storing up seasons fruition for the
other seasons wants, not forgetting
in passing along a feast of apples, or
in the cider room a generous quaf
ing OF their life's sweetness. All
ended by refreshing eatables and en-.
tertainment at the well known and
highly praised Continental Hotel:
We believe they were well pleased.

IN MEMORIAM.
To Our Father, David H. Mason.

Dear father, time, more than one
year, has passed since we saw thee
placed in the tomb, yet our living
minds bear tender memories of thy
earnest self. And gathering round
thy resting place, we gather in
sweet recollections of thy presence.
Your tender care, your kind advice,
your loving caress is not forgotten.
Always remember as we pass along
to meet you in the hereafter. AS
your children ana as the children OF
the Lord on high, may we not here
inscribe the poets words.
"Was not our Lord little child,
Taught by degrees to pray,
By father dear and mother mild,
Instructed day by day?
And loved He not of Heaven to talk
With children in His sight,
To meet them in His daily walk.
And to His arms unite"
BY HIS CHILDREN.
