The Marshall Canning Company is
running a smaller force than usual in
putting up the seasons pack of corn
about fifty persons being employed.
This is ON account of the small amount
| OF corn to be had. The factory has
| been buying all that has been offered
outside of the regular contracts to
make up the deficiency. The company's
pack Of corn this season will be at
Ileast a third smaller than that Of last
WEAR. No tomatoes have been put up
vet, and the prospects of the crop are
very DOOR The dry weather retarded
their growth, and they will be later
than usual in ripenng. With all indica-
lions favorable for good prices for
canned goods there is little opportun-
/ ty to take advantage of it this sea-
son."

This has been Labor Day. the first

state law. AS nothing had been ar
ranged in the way Of amusement or
recreation, very few availed themselves
of its privileges. The Central railroad
employees in the shops took advantage
of 1t, and those in the Ketchum Wagon
Company enjoyed half holiday this
afternoon. Ag far as could be learned
all other establishments were running
along the same as usual"
