This community was shocked
with deepest grief by the sad ac-
cident at Commerce on July "a
which caused the death of Mary
and Olive Reynolds, daughters of
Rev. Elmer Reynolds, who re-
sides in Commerce.
We are informed that the girls
were on their way to a Sunday
school picnic and were. asked to
ride in a delivery auto. In 60
ing over the Interuban track at
the Blue Goose crossing near
Commerce they were instantly
killed when the motor struck the
automobile. The driver, Joseph
Hitchcock, died Saturday from
his injuries.
The funeral of the young la
dies was held Thursday at l
o'clock at the Greenlawn church.
1t was conducted by ministers
from Commerce. Six young la
dies and six young girls, all at
tired in white, acted as pail bear
ers. 1t made a touching scene.
The largest crowd ever assem-
bled at a funeral in Greenlawn
met the funeral procession from
Commerce.
The Misses Reynolds were
born on a farm adjoining Green
lawn cemetery and spent their
childhood days there, moving to
Commerce a few years ago with
their parents. The father is a
Baptist minister, the mother an
ideal Christian worker.
Their lives are ideal as Chris
tians, industrious, kind hearted
and respected by all who know
them.
The bodies were inferred in
the Greenlawn cemetery, side by
side in a double grave.
The sympathy of the commun-
ity is extended to the bereaved
parents and sister and family.
C. B. Pierson, of Melrose, has
been helping to bale hay on the
Chas. Wall lease near Filby's.
DR.. Walker and wife, Mrs. ia
CO and two sisters were among
those attending the funeral of

On the common not 200 yards from
the hutments there are many queer
earthworks where recruits in the re-
serve battalion of the London regi-
ment are taught almost under war n
ditions, says the London Times. They
are given bombing practice in all Its
different stages, and the raw recruit
finds that the hurting of a Mills is not
as easy as it looks at first sight. First
of all, the men throw the grenades in
the open at a well-defined mark, until
after some weeks training they are
able to throw from the directions OF an
observer with a periscope, who watches
for the heads of the enemy to pop up.
These heads are on a hinge, and may
appear in any one of a half dozen diff
ferent %traverses or emplacements. The
observer has to be continually on the
alert, and the bomber must also keep
all his wits about him, so that he can
make his blind throw as ~efficacious as
possible.
