The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1873-12-11

THE Republican party Of Stark county
are certainly blessed with a bopnUilul sup
ply of organs, some eight in all. unless the
Fulton Herald may bercounted out as an
independent" and in that case they
number seven only. Of course the lead
ing central organ is the old combined Rep
& Rep, OF our city. This paper though OF
respectable dimensions is equalled IN pro-
portions by the Massillon american and
Alliance Monitor. The others are Of re-
spectacle size though not as large as
those named, In these days Of brother
hood and newspapers, a few old type n
a tramping jour printer suiices to start an
! organ, To continue till the jour and the
thing plays out, when he may proceed
and do,in the same way the next town. A
| printing press is not absolutely necessary,
for the printing of the sheet can probably
be procured on that of some accommoda-
thug neighbor of the same brotherhood.
s felloW feeling makes EN- Wondrous kind.
In contrast with this multiplicity OF radI-
cal organs, shaded according to the varl-
Gus opinions and ambitions they represent,
is the Democratic side of the house. The
sole and only organ of the Democracy OF
Stark county is the STARK Co. DEMOCRAT,
now in the 10th year Of It's existence and
for over twenty-five years, save = short
interregnum, Ia It's present hands. Vi
the character and stamina of the TAI
| Co. DEMOCRAT we need say nothing, but
being the only organ of its party, it Is the
only county paper in GENERAL C4RCULA-
TON. We therefore call the attention OF
all advertisers to this paper as the only
medium to reach the public IN all parts OF
Stark county. a word to the WISE Is
sufficient,

EVENING ScHooL-We regret to see
no movement among the citizens Of Can
ton toward an Evening School. There
are q number of young men who labor
during the day, and some, we presume,
who do not work. that ehould be required
to attend an Evening School. For
many years prior to the establishment of
our Union School system, a thriving
Evening School was a regular winter ar
rangement. The teachers then took an
interest IN the matter and got others to do
so, and the school was a uniform success,
We know prominent business men in
Canton now, who got all their English
education in this way. There are many
young men and large boys IN our town
VITO regularly attend night schools of a
different character. No doubt too, they
are apt scholars in acquiring the language
and learning the lessons there given. We
would suggest a united effort among our
citizens. Let the teachers of each de-
Partment talk it up. Let the clergy and
Sabbath. school teachers lend q hand. And
let all good citizens, especially parents
who nave offspring that should attend,
urge the revival Of the old fashioned
Evening School.
More than one eminent author has said
that the principal difference between
men is In the Improvement OF tlme-that
this is the real cause of the success OF
-non-success of men in acquiring knowl-
edge. 1t is the duty of parents Il 9th
ers who have the good of society at heart
TO join hands in every laudable move
ment, especially n having for lis object
the Improvement in mind and character
Of the rising generation.

MANSFIELD, o., Dec, I, 1873.
EDITOR DEMOCRAT In my travels I
happened to be at Upper Sandusky, Wy
andot county, Ohio, over Sabbath, and it
being q very pleasant day 1 took a stroll
out to the Old Mission Church, q solid
stone building, but very much out of re-
pair. The windows and window frames,
door and door panes, pulpit, seats, and
even the floor, have been torn to pieces
and carried off by curious parties as relics
of the old Missisn Church. I was told
by a Mr.. L. Bowman that he had turned
over two hundred canes for ministers of
different churches, principally for minis
tiers OF the M. e. Church, when they were
holding a conference there. l had sup
posed ministers would have held a church
sacred, but 1t seems not to have been the
case. The church and four acres Of
ground belong to the Wyandot Indians,
They would not sell the ground on which
the church stands, and where their dead
were buried. Persons have even gone so
far as to break off and carry away pieces
of the tombstones from the Indian graves
till you cannot find the name of an In
dian on any stone / could find. l was
shown the grave of their chief, between
the logs, but the marble at the head was
Clipped of TO wlthin q few inches Of the
ground. Such vandalism I think should
not go unreproved. Some persons in the
place would like to have the building re-
paired and put as near as it can be made
IN the same condition 1t was before It was
torn to pieces, and ! think preachers who
are sporting canes out of the balldlng
should take an interest IN having the
church put in shape. Yours truly.
