HARBESON.

The people of our community were
greatly shocked to learn of the unex-
pected and sudden death of Leroy
Howard, son of Mr.. and Mrs. E. Wal
/ ter Howard, early Monday morning
| Deceased was a very Industrious and
promising boy, one who was liked by
all who knew him. The most profound
| sympathy is extended to the parents
in their hours of sadness and sor-
row. We often wonder why the Su-
preme Architect of the Universe
should remove the young and promis-
ing, butt is not given us to under
stand, Gods will be done"
l. H. Preston & Co. started canning
operations this week and from pres
ent indications tomatoes will be like
peaches, a rather Improbable crop
for the farmer. if they are not con-
tracted for, owing to the dull market
for canned goods at present. A large
number of farmers through this sec
tion have for number of years been
growing on the open market.
The Polish labOrers and their fam
lilies brought here annually for the
canning season, arrived last Satur-
day, and appear to be of a very good
class. A number of them, including
their foreman, were here last season.
