Mr.. Williams of the st. Louis
Type Foundry, paid us visit sever
al days ago. He is canvassing this
section in the interest of advertisers
and publishers, and the above men
toned foundry. We found him most
agreeable gentleman, one of the con-
vincing sort, and before he left us
were very much of his opinion con
corning his proposed advertising
agency. 1t i, his purpose to attend
the Press Convention at KosciuskO
juno I'd.
Mr.. 4. G. Bosworth, so long con-
nectcd with the American Citizen
as local editor and business mana
ger, paid us visit last Friday, at
ter AN absence from Canton of sew
eral weeks. His visit here was on
ly flying one, for he left the day
of his arrival for Texas, whittier he
goes in the the interest of some
commercial establishment, as trav-
cling agent. We wish him abundant
success, and that reward for his en-
ergy and talent that in these trou-
blous and uncertain times come not
to the newspaper man.
Our esteemed young friend, John
Wyse, left us last Monday afternoon
for the far off West where he prop"s-
cs to settle. He leaves n host OF
friends to regret his departure and
to miss his genial whole -souled COM
pany. Johnny is a native of Madi-
son county, and grew up under the
observation of oul people, who adj
mired his stirring, energetic habits
and ambition, and who will ever
cherish for him the kindest feelings
of friendship. We hope that he will
succeed in everything he under
takes that fortune will smile upon
him, and that he may find, WHEREBY
or he goes, friends as warm and sim
core as those he leaves in his boy
hoods homo.
We are glad to state to the many
friends of Mrs. s. S. CalhoOn and
Mrs. c. C. Campbell that both of
these ladies, who have been serious
Iy ill for several weeks past, are
convalcscing and rapidly regaining
their health and strength.
We regret to learn that DR.. A. p.
Forman, pastor of the Presbyterian
Church ut this place, has been quite
unwell for some weeks past. He is
improving however, and hopes are
that he will soon be up
and about.
We were favored during the past
week with a visit from Mcssrs. ID.
bennett and NJ. b. HiIlyard. These
gentlemen are engaged in the laud-
able work of developing our state,
presenting ITS advantages to North
ern capitalists and parties seeking
investment or desiring to immigrate
to this section, more extended no
rice of which can be found else
where in our columns. These gen
tlcmen represent interests that we
fully indorse. ard the class of i'm
migrants they propose to introduce
into our state will find a welcome
from our people and a God speed
from the press.
Hon. Jason Niles, of kosciusko,
member of Congress from this dis
trict, WAS i'm Canton on Thursday
last. We had a short conversation
with him and invited him to our
office assuring HIM that it was Dem
ocratic to the backbone, but free to
the reception of all. He replied
that he had no war to make on Dem
ocrats, or at least no personal one,
and that he was willing to make "a
child's bargain" with them, i.e. to
let them alone if they will let him
alone. Well, we will see about that
after the Republican nominations
are made.

Several of the young men of our
city are making a laudable effort to
organize literary society. Their
effort is worthy the highest COM
mendaion, and we trust they will
succeed. Canton should by all
means have a fiourishing literary
society in her midst. We know of
no pleasantcr or more profitable
way to spend an evening each week
than i'll a social interchange o.!
thoughts and ideas in this way.
Summer, with its long, dull days, is
upon us; and with it come its usu-
al concomitant features decrease
of business and general stagnation
in every phase of life. a literary
society will contribute much to-
ward enlivening this dull period.
A meeting will be held in the May
or's office this evening at s o'clock,
for the purpose of perfecting this
organization. Let all those who
feel an interest in an organization
of this kind be in attendance.

"A Magnificent Conception, Won

THE NECESSITY OF \ POPULAR

the productions of our great artists. has
always been recOgniZet. and many at
tcmptS have been made to meet the want.
The successive failures which SCI invariably
followed each attempt in this country to
establish an art Journal did not prove the
Indifference of the people of America to
the claims of hi 9Th art. So soon as prop
or appreciatiO OF the want and an ability
to meet it were shown, the public at once
rallied with enthusiasm to its support.

The saying that there could be
no effort to restore the old order of

The history Of the past disproves it.
