Brickyards Busy. Frosty weather has not interferred with the work at a:number of the | brickyards about town. At Murray's brickyard the men are engaged every iday in digging out the clav at the pit from whence it transierred to the yard by means of a loco- motive. The r win ter activity is by jthe owners when they show their |steam dryers which have been in- | stalled during the summer months. Another big improvement that s noted is the installation of the patent carriers for taking the brick from the machines to the racks. Thus it may be seen that the freezing weather of the winter holds less terrors for the manufacturers of brick. small for this explained Grange Golden Jubilec.

Attorney Strunz left an estate, said to be valued at more than $100,000, and unless a legal will is found, the property will be divided among three nephews and a niece as follows: William and Mrs. Fred Johnson of Plai and Albert Strunz of California and Theodore Strunz of East Hampton, Mass, A search of the contents of the safe in Mr. Strunz’s oflice in Palatka failed to reveal a will that could he offered for probate, although a docu- ment concerning .the distribution of the estate after his death, but lacking a signature, was found.
