CANNERY ASSURED.
-----
Sufficient Pledges To Guarantee
Its Construction.
-----

       A canning factory will be built in Marlin.  That much was settled at the meeting of the Marlin Business League Monday night.  There was very little discussion over the proposition.  A list was opened for subscription to stock and in a few minutes seventy two of the one hundred shares were taken.
       It is the intention of the promoters that the stock shall be distributed among as many people as practical and those signing for more than one share did so with the purpose of placing the shares (at first value of course) with other parties.  The object of this was to guarantee a sufficient number of shares to insure its construction.
