would address them, whereup0n Mlstah Wilson
made his bow and proceeded ....
Mr., WILSON Is oolorcd man, il black Is color,

negro vote In Ohio and claimed they. had Just as
much right TO vote az an lrishman or a Dutchmen
He expressed the great gratitude the cOlored peo
pie felt for the Republican party and called upon
all tostand by the party
We understand Mr.. Wilson is sent out by the
State Republican Committee and he has the hon
or of being the champion orator to open the CAM

tits hardly fair however, to take advantage and
gobble up the crowd drawn there 10 listen to the

In Canton let him be announced In the Reposito, v

PREPARING FOE THE FUTURE


A woman quietly entered a Tuscarawas street
store one day last week, and looked anxiously
around she was a sad looking woman, yet with
all her sadness, there was lurking CLEAN of busi'
ness in her eye. One of the gentemanly attend.
ants approached her and remarked:
Damp weather we have been passing through
ia there anything can show you to day.,
Yes want tosee some mournin' goods; want
to look at some black delaine for dress; then |
want to see a pair o black gloves and one o them
long black veils you know, what burners wear.
I'll want whole mournin suit.
Yes madam; can show you the goods; you have
met with misfortune; been stricken with grief at
the loss of some dear friend-and as he proceeded
to throw out black goods in confused piles he con.
tinued in an absent minded way:
Wemust all go sometime; thesgrim messenger
will enter the happest homes at unexpected mo-
ments, and cast pail of gloom over all, Here are
some good articles of black wear just suited to
your wants, which we are selling at.cost prices.
How much shall measure Off
Oh never mind said the sad woman; guess
wont take it now; you see, I'm kind o lookin'
around; Mans been purity bad for while back,
and | reckon she won't get over it. I've been
thinkin' she might turn in and flop over sudden
like. and I'm lookin' around to Sc: where | can
get the best bargains there's8nothng like prepal
in for trials you know Then after meditatng a
moment she resumed
mol wont take them goods now, but they suit
me first rate, and if Nam does flop over I'll send
right in fur EN- or come and get EN- myself
Them's nice goods, and they're just what want
And as she closed her remarks she went slowly
and sorrowfully out, leaving the dealer in bewll.
dered astonishment gazing at the pile of black
goods on his counter As she has not yet sent in
for the goods, it is probable that Nam hasn't

A DREAMALMOST FATAL.


One night last week a lad son of one Of our
most prominent and respectable citizens, residing
on North Market street, while laboring in dream
arose from his bed, ndtwisting a sheet, he adjus
ted 1t to clothes hook, and prepared moose for
hanging himself When everything was ready,
the sOmnambulistic child placed the moose about
his neck and swung off in q dangerous way, the
moose pressing his neck, severely, and causing
him to groan. His father heard the noise and
hastened to the rescue, cutting the boy loose just
in time to save him from sad death. He had
been severely choked, and for two or three days
afterthe occurrence there wssa blue bruised cir
Gle ABOUT his neck, caused BY the painful pressure
ofthe moose. Dreams may sometimes be pleasant
but from such as this there arses only feeling Of
danges that will trouble the parents Of thIs child
for u ne To como.

CYRUS TAYLoR's brown horse had a bad spell
last Friday; he threw kisses at the dashboard with
his heels, and after cavorting around fora mo-
ment, he backed right througha nice carriage and
then turned square around and tramped over it.
To say the carriage was wrecked would be strict
ly true, but not sufficiently expressive, 1t was
completely busted, and as Taylor stood offa few
feet with his hands on his knees, he eyed the
horse curiously, then winked at by stander and
said: Mighty playful hoes amt he? He's gentle
as lamb though, anybody can drive him. Then
he proceeded to garher up the scattered pieces Of
wreck, and he started sadly and quietly home
with the playful animal in tow.

square last Friday afternoon and announced to a
curious crowd that he was ANDREW Jackson

fighting preacher and that he didn't intend to be
disturbed or interrupted by any one evidently
meant business. He was a long armed raw boned
and muscular man, and when certain brawny
blacksmith stood up behind him, and muttered
contradictory sentiments, he thought he was safe
from controversy or combat, because the man he
wss worrying was preacher but when the long
armed sermonizer turned and sent two or three
thumpers into the ribs of the Smithey, he conclu-
ded that it was no safer to fool around lamb of
the Great Shepherd, than 1t was to provoke pug
nacious male sheep in a clover field. The preach
er stopped his discourse just long enough to punch
the blacksmith, who had interrupted him, then he
went on telling whata glorious thing true Chris
