l2c per pound, and one lot as high as

convicted Of having in his possession

q Walton, Boone county, KY, says
Owing to the continued warm wealth
er, the tobacco which Is yet hanging
is mildewing and turning black
which will result in serious damage
We do not look for any concerted
:, action OH the part Of the cigar manu-
! faolurers looking to the reduction @
. the tax, as they fear the agitation q
the same will unsettle trade. and RI
suit in more Injury than good at tbl
