Mr. A. G. Cheatham of the Warrens.
burg cannery, is II of the first of our
people TO feel the effects of the McKin.
ley bill. lie is accustomed to use each
season, several car loads of tin cans.
About 10000 cans are in a car load.

a condition and not a theory. We
have it not only from Mr.. Cheatham's
own lips but from a personal exsmina-
ton OF his bills.-Warrensburg Star.
