EVERY travelling man with whom we
have spoken during this winter has re-
marked that it did him good to get into
a town like Canton. They are unani-
NOUS in the opinion that it is one of a
very few cities in the Union that has been
able to keep up the state of trade to any
thing like what it should be, Every
where trade seems to be in stagnant
condition, and particularly manuiactur-
ing, but that branch of industry IN Can
ton is carried on probably more extern
siyelv than it has been for years. A
travelling man of Canton registered re-
Gently at hotel in Pennsylvania town.
A number of fellow travellers from differ
ent cities, as is usual with them, glanced
at the register to see where he was from,
and each of them positively stated from
actual observation, that it was the best
town in the country

Martha L, Greenwood.
The beauty and purity Of the religion OF Jesus
shone in her life. In that most exalted relation
10 which women are called, of wife and mother
she imJ roved the oppor tunity given to teach 9th
ers what religion would do for them, by showing
them what 1t had done for her. Her relation TO
the church was brief Less than a year ago, she,
with several others other friends, started in the
heavenly course She out ran them, and was the
first recently established to reach the goal and
wear the crown. Her deathbed scene was touch
ing and solemnly beautiful With many words o.
Christian counsel and prayers for loved ohts lef
behind, she went home. T. b. ii.

For the Democrat.
THE MAY YORALTI.

EDITOR DEMoCRAT-Dear Sir: In less
than month the votes of the citizens of
Canton will determine who shall be
Mayor of the city for the ensuing term.
In this election, or choice, every citizen
has an interest. The protection of life
and property-the safeguards of good Or
der-the wholesome administration o
municipal laws a-e sely connected
with an efficient Mayoralty, Hence
every friend to the safety, peace and order
of the city has an interest in the result Of
the coming election. Who shall be our
next Mayor is a question that every
good citizen should ask himself With
be partisan of SO radical type as rem
ders him blind to the obligations of his
office? 1t is hoped not, for that would
be unsound Democracy. Will he be a
man of weakness and irresolution-with-
out any fxedness of principle, or man
hood to maintain them2 1t is hoped
not. He ought to be a man of character
and determination, with nerve sufficient
to say to all disturbers of the peace-to
all forms of fanatical disorder-Stop! We
have laws, and these laws are supreme
and must be obeyed. Will he be so
ignorant as to be untitled for the position.
1t is to be hoped not. The growth of the
city in population, wealth and intelli
gence needs man of large experience
legal culture, comprehensive ideas of
progress. We are no longer city Sc
cluded from the world. The skill and
enterprise of our workshops not only do
honar to the city, but give it fame as
wide as the nation. Yea, wider. For,
while our safes are the safe receptacles of
California's treasures, our Aldine Presses
triple time and throw our tricolor in the
London printing office. Aye, and our
Imperial plows turning the rich soil Of
Fatherland, send German greeting to
Canton skill in the demand for more Of
the Imperial.
Feeling Just pride in our city, we ask
again who shall be our next Mayor? Is
he to be an antiquated fossil, dug out of
the tomb of the CapuIets? Surely not.
We ought to have mana live man;
man breast to breast with the times in all
laudable enterprises that make for the
good of the city. You ask, can we find
such a man? | answer, we can. Our
present Mayor is the right man in the
right place. He has been tried and
proved. The docket of our Criminal
Court shows that our city has been well
governed and remarkably orderly. While
the little towns and cities around us have
been stained with the terrible crimes of
manslaughter, we as city have been
free. Watchfulness and care in suppress
ing the incipient stages of riot, tumu,t
and disorder have saved us from record
of crime. To secure to our city the ser
vices of such man as our Mayor has
proved himself to be, remember that his
nomination is an important element to
his election Let every good citizen,
therefore, remember we cannot afford to
lose good officer. CANTON.

THE ''DIO-LOUIS" BUILDING ASSC-
CIATION

Some years ago in Canton town,
Great things went up 80 splendid
A Building Association" worked;
And a chap his fortunes mended.
His sordid heart-for he claims no soul
Was nightly elevated,
When matters prospered so with him,
With little that aggravated.
No full and public statement was made,
Of this Building Association"
But the thing went up in magnificent STYLE
With pride and ostentation
No doubt, very many had tntereOt there,
But the thing was done quite priyy;
And only one-it is shrewdly Thought
Was lucky enough for a a"divy"
This one, alone Unanswered the biz"
Held the funds--and paid the 'diggers'
To look athis book and that Gas Fitting bill,
We may Judge by his own sweet "hggers'
In that bill, however, the figures are few,
Though not the less expressive,
And those scratched out, If we only knew,
Might tell q story-aggressiVe.
Icannot tell, all the secrets of
This Building Association
Suffice It to say-it went with power,
And got nto-0PERA-tionl
A man may build, and think in his work,
No one will find the flaw
But wait till a legal search be made
With the eye of honest Idwf
Addition, division and silence" may
Work wonders for time;
But the weakest things in this world OF ours
Are fraud, corruption and crime
The good old maxim, that, honesty is
The policy best for a nation,
Is equally true for one and for all
And o Building Association"

OUR NEW COUNTY ATLAS.

On visiting the Post Office to-day we
noticed several magnificent stone en-
cravings, and on inquiry found them to
be the work of the firm who are compil-
ing the new illustrated Historical Atlas
of Stark County. The Rock County
Court House is a very fine piece of work,
Gid we'll worth inspection. Drennen d
anrit's carriage works at Warren, Ohio, is
another, and will interest manufacturers.
These Autographs are conclusive ev-
idence that this firm are competent for
what they have undertaken. The Stark
County Atlas ought to be complete sue
cess in this department, We certainly
have in our public buildings fine farms,
private residences, etc, the requisite ma
terial. The firm have the means and
ability But in order to make this Atlas
a "thing of beauty" and an exponent of
our material interests, it will require the
assistance and cooperation of our busi-
ness men and farmers
Massilon and Alliance are doing nobIy
and we hope that our citizens will give
this matter the attention it deserves, and
enable the publishers to bring out in
few months volume which will be high
ly creditable to the county, and an orna-
Rent to the parlor as library.
