]. Blaine SILVER has force employed
in getting the local packing house of
Chase x Co. ready for the seasons
shipping. A new washer and drying
machine are being put in and when
completed the house will be prepared 10
handle fruit not only rapidly but in a
manner not to damage the output. Mr.
SILVER expects 10 begin shipping early
fruit next month, probably early in the
month, as he has grapefruit now fully
half ColOrcd and good. He will also
have several thousand boxes of oranges
of the variety known as Boon'S early for
shipment next month. A circular letter
from Chase & Co. issued last week pre-
diets heavy demand for Florida
oranges this year and over wider terri
tory than ever before; that Florida
oranges will be in demand this season
in markets that have heretofore used
CALIFORNIA; excluSiyafy; that with Flori-
da crop lighter and the California crop
10 per cent short they anticipate a strong
market and unusually heavy demand for
F1oridaS; that there will be strong
market on grapefruit owing to greater
demand and shorter crop. The estab
lished trade of Chase & Co. throughout
the U. S. and Canada among the largest
md best jobbcrs, and their high stand
ing with growers as well, with com
petent and reliable bonded statesmen,
will cause the trade to look largely 10
this firm for their supply during the
coming season. They have strong
hold on the growers of this place, built
by square dealing and most satisfactory
disposition of fruit at good prices.
The death of Mr.. S. H. Wilson at his
home out on Union avenue last Friday
cast gloom over this little place. Mr.
Wilson had been in poor health for
some time, but it was only about week
before his death that his symptoms be-
came alarming. His death was due to
internal cancer, fact determined by a
post norton examination. Mr. Wilson
came here from Utica, Ohio, some three
or four years ago and purchased the old
James Padgelt home on Union ave.
| his he liked up in a most tasty and
lrtiStic manner for residence purposes.
| lie was gentleman whom all had come
10 regard highly as a neighbor and citi-
zen, and there is universal sorrow in his
death. The funeral occurred at the
home on Sunday afternoon and the
religious ceremony was conducted by
Mr.. c. f. Gutteridge, local preacher
of the Methodist church. The Masonic
order also had part in the service and
had full charge OF the burial ceremony.
The interment was in Eden Cemetery.
Deputy Grand Master II c. Cooper
conducted the Masonic service and
prominent MaSonS were present 10 take
part with the local lodge from PaIatka,
Pomona, SiSco and Welaka. There
was large concourSc of people present
at both ceremonies, and their sympathy
was shown in great profuSon oil
flowers. Mr.. Wilson is survived by his
wife and two daughters, Mrs. Audley
Eaton, and the little Miss Maude, and &c
them the loving sympathy of all goes
out in their deep affliction. A brother
of the deceased and also a brother o.
Mrs. Wilson arrived from the north ir
time for the funeral.
