We had occasion to sample
can Of syrup last Thursday,
manufactured by the Avery
Planting & Mfg. Co. of Avery Is
land. The sample was given us
by Mr.. Fritz Dietlein of the Rem
oudet & Dietlein Wholesale
Grocery firm who had just re-
ceived 500 cases of the goods,
neatly put up in one pound pack
ages, handsomely labelled in gold
letters with the inscription Al
on the front Of each can. The art
icle is not only put up in san
itary manner by the manufac-
turers but it has the guarantee
Of the Company for its purity
and delicious flavor. Another of
the commodities raised and
canned on that famous Island is
the tomato, this one firm alone

from what he informed us it is
more than probable that the tax
Will be submitted to the voters of
hat Ward again at an early
ate, the sentiment having
hanged materially since the de-
eat of the tax. We felt certain
he progressive citizens of our
lister town would never permit
heir public schools to be closed
n March 22d, if it is within their
rovince to keep them open.
1any of the taxpayers who vot.

uesday were of the opinion at
