The evaporator was destroyed by fire
last Thursday night. When men went
10 turn the fruit in the bleaching room
at midnight, they found fire had broken
out. Help arrived and the fire was
confined almost entirely to the frame
building in which the drying plant was
located. Taylor Bros. were turning
out a fine product though only such a
short time has passed since they began
operating the eyaporator, and exples-
sions of regret are heard on every hand
because Of this interruption and loss to
them. We have not been able to learn
definitely, but the report is quite gen
eral that the evaporator will be rebuilt,
though perhaps in another location.
The building was the property Of Har.
nv Connaway and later listed as part OF
the property of the Consolidated Mer-
camille Co. We understand both build
ing and contents were insured.
The entertainment mentioned last
week will be given Friday, tomorrow,
night at the Methodist church. This is
known as Thanksgiving festival and
will be we'll worth attending. Mrs. l..
G. Weinheimer, Mrs. W. X. Warner,
III, and Miss Jessie Pierson have given
careful attention to drilling those who
are taking the various characters. No
admission fee will be charged, but a
silver offering will be taken at the door
and according to the generosity of those
contributing will the spot of bright
ness increase or diminish for the little
children across the sea on Christmas
Day.
The members of the club which has
been known as the Embroidery club

be known in future is "The Merry
Matrons.
