The Home Canning Co. of Pollock.

The Home Canning Co., of Pollock,
of which DR.. J. w. Wilson is proprie-
tor, has been running pretty lively of
late in order to handle the sweet pota-
to crop, which, by the way, was extra
good the past season. This enterprise
is new thing for Pollock, and while
it was installed last spring by DR.. Will
son as somewhat of an experiment, it
has canned four thousand cans, during
the season, consisting of beans. peas,
okra, corn, and different kinds of fruits,
etc., and by the time the sweet potato
business is disposed of, total of 5000
cans will have been handled during the
year, with the cannery running less
than one-fourth of the time.
Owing to DIR. Wilson's Misfortune in
losing his wife by death he was detain'
ed for several weeks in Missouri, ant
did not get to exhibit HI canned pro
ducts at the Grant Parieh Fair. Hat
he been able to do this, there is M
doubt but what he would have beer
awarded some premiums on account o.
the excellent flavor and Superior qualit.
of his products. -Progre%-N

Robert Garrett Dead.

Robert Garrett, age 80, lost his life
on Little river, near Thompson's Ferry
in very peculiar manner, on last Tues
day evening. In company with some
friends from Goodnight's logging camp,
he went hunting, and the patry separat-
ed and ran race to see who could kill
the most squirrels. Some lone in Gar
.rett's party shot squirrel and it lodg-
ed in the tree. A saw and ak were
procured and the tree cut down, and in
falling it struck another tree splitting
off a portion from the trunk, throwing
it in the direction of Garrett, who threw
up his hands to ward off the blow, but
the piece knocked him down, crushing
mis- body, causing death within four
minutes. 1t was said by eye witnesses
that the piece of wood could not have
struck Garrett had he not thrown up
his arms, as it would have passed over
him.
The remains were brought to Pollock
and prepared for burial, and interment
was made in the Pollock cemetery Wed.
nesday.
Garrett was brother of Mrs. Wade
Thomas of Pollock. He has two broth.
ers, Ben and James living in this
State. He was a nephew of Maj. w.
P. Guynes of Pollock. Pollock Progress

Cannot Get Cent Box for Oranges.

Cannot Get Cent BOX FOR oranges.
New York, Nov. 20.-$300, 900 worth
of California fruit, $50 carloads in all,
will be allowed to decay on the North
River piers, where it was landed this
week, unless some settlement is reach
ed shortly in dispute between the New
York Fruit Buyers Association and the
brokers representing the California
shippers. The disagreement is over a
recent increase by the brokers in the
carriage charges assessed against those
who purchase the fruit at the pier auc-
ton sales.
As soon as the increase was announc-
ed the Buyers Association declared it
would boycott all shipments unless sat
isfactory adjustment was effected. A
shortage of California fruit throughout
the East will be the probable result.
Twill anybody give me cents box
for these oranges, asked an auctioneer
Monday. Not an offer was received.
mot a one give me one cent?" asked
the auctioneer. Still the fruit went
begging and the sale was adjourned.

the slight charge of rs cents barrel
by the numerous haulers, all of whom
