dr. Jones lias already got the
lecessary building ready for the
nstallment of the furnaces and
canning equipments, and this
veek he visited a canning plant
it Plylers, N. C., similar to the
me he is constructing, to get
lome "points" as to the conitruction
and the operation of
canning plants. He will have
he plant ready for this year's

Situated in the midst of a
jood fruit-growing section as
fones X Roads is, this enterprise
should prove profitable to
dr. Jones and to the community

Those who have a surplus of
ruits and vegetables, as most

TWO CANADIAN CITIES
RAVAGED BY FLAMES.
Hull Destroyed and Ottawa Suffers
Terribly, the Loss Estimated
at $20,000,000.
Ottawa, April 27.?F i v e
square miles of territory burned
over; more than 2,500 dwellings,
factories, mills, stores and
other buildings destroyed, entailing
a loss estimated to reach
$20,000,000 and between 12,000
and 15,000 men, women and
children homeless, is a summing
up of the havoc wrought
by the fire which has been raging
at Hull and Ottawa since
yesterday morning, and at midnight
was not completely under
control.
Most of the lumber piles in
Ottawa and Mull have disappeared
and arc! now mere heaps
of charred wood and ashes. Six
churches and schools, a number
o' mills, the IIull waterworks,
the Hull court house and jail,
the postoffice, the convent?
almost every business place ami
about 1,000 dwellings and shops
in Hull have boon destroyed.
Indeed practically nothing of
Hull is left but a church and a
few houses beyond it.
