PRICE OF SUGAR
IS ADVANCING
GRoCERs GETTING $e.s5 PER HUN.
DRED-cANNED GOODS WILL
BE SCARCE AND HIGHER.

Tho price OF cane sugar has In
creased by leaps and bounds within
the last three weeks until it has now
reached the mark Of $6.35 per hundred.
Three weeks ago the majority of the
local grooers were selling the cane
produce at $3.50 per hundred. Grocers
predict that the price will continue to
increase for the next two months but
perhaps not so startling as in the past
three weeks. The canning season
which will be in full swing within the
next month, is partly responsible for
the increase, since the large fruit
crops in the north and east have
caused the canning firms to buy extra
large quantities Of sugar. The failure
of the European beet sugar crop has
played no small part. The price OF
sugar will no doubt put . crimp in the
domestic canning and preserving this
season.
All canned goods will be moro
scarce this year than last, and toma-
toes and peas will hardly be obtainable
in local grocery stores. The failure of
these two products has been prac-
tically complete. Peas which have boon
selling for ten cents will advance to
twelve and one-half and fifteen cents.
Several large canning factories in the
middle west have cancelled orders be-
cause Of the scarcity of the product.
Tomatoes will also be scarce and much
higher.

WEST POINT LAD
BROWNS IN POND

West Point. Aug, 16.-Lester Sheets
the five year old son Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Davis Sheets, was drowned in the
city pond here yesterday afternoon.
With Patrick Branan. playmate,
young Sheets went to the pond and
while wading about, the Sheets lad
got beyond his depth and went down.
The body was later recovered. The
boy was not missed until 1880 o'clock,
when Branan was seen in an alley
acting strangely When asked what
was the matter the child replied that
he and Sheets were down to the pond
and Sheets was in the water and could
not get out. The news of the seem
ing accident soon spread and many
fastened to the pond to verify the
boys story. Gilbert Lee taking a
rake soon drew the little boy to him.
When found he was near the center
of the pond where the water is at
least 8 feet deep. Just how long the
little one was In the water is not
known but it is uspposed from l hour
to ~ hours as the children were
last seen near. their home at 5:45.
Lester Sheets was born in West
Point, Dec. ~, 1906, and was the old
est son Of Mr.. and Mrs. David Sheets.
He was a bright little fellow and 1t
seems sad to give him up in this way.
