Our readers will see in our advertising columns
that the eminent pianist Mr.. H. o, G. Kortheuer,
from New York, offers rare opportunity to our
musical students for improvement in the art.
Mr.. Kortheuer, after years Of persevering study
spent season with the king of pianists the illus
trious Dr. F. List, and returned, full of the en-.
thusiasm necessary to all progress in art. He was
received in most hattering manner on stepping
before the public of his present abode Our lovers
of music may expect some rare treats 1t may be
of interest to our readers to read what his own
people thinks of him, we therefore subjoin some
extracts from Brooklyn papers,
"Mr. Kortheuer was for lengthy period an es-
teemed intimate friend Of the renowned DR..
Franz List. He was for many months an in.
mate of the great masters household at Weimar,
and he is probably the best interpreter of the
works of that artist in this community. His
playing is remarkable for admirable technique,
intellectual grasp, broad phrasing and compre-
hensiveness. He Is evidently a close student,
and one who is actuated by the highest princi

THE "MIDAYs."-The Midday Sporting Track
Company has finally come to its standard run and
won first money, the first prize taken by them this
season. At Salem on the Fourth, they ran against
the MaSsillon and Wooster companies, but If re-
ports be true, not only from members Of the com.
pany, but from citizens from Massillon and Salem,
who saw the contest, the Midays were delib-
erately wronged out Of prize, having made the
cleanest and best run; but the judges watch stop
ped while the boys were making their run, and
had to be shaken up before it would tick again,
and the judges guessed at the time, On Wednes-
day, however, at Canal Dover, they made up for
the unsatisfactory result at Salem, by taking the
first prize, sl25OO against Massllon and New
Philadelphia making the run and placing their
man at the top Of the ladder in 9i2l seconds re-
markably good run. Massillon took second prize,
The boys feel somewhat better now, and we hope
they may keep on in the same way.

FOURTH OF JULY.-The fourth day OF July, 1876
was not much Of a day in Canton. Our cttlzons
spent enough money at the depot paying fares to
Alliance, Salem, Dover and other little towns, to
have paid the expenses Of right jolly celebration
here at home. Most of our people slept; some
didn't, they went fishing. Some drank beer, 9TH

HONEST FACTS.

1t is fact that every family can make
a saving of from $50 to 500 year by
purchasing their supplies for Cash. The
opening in Canton of the Large Dry
Goods House of R. A. DeForest, Of
Cleveland, is creating a revolution in
trade. The firm has only been estab-
lished few months and is already doing
a large part of the dry goods trade of
Stark County. They have commenced a
closing sale of Simmer Suits at 15c; a
large lot of zoe Dress Plaids have just
been opened at Sc; splendid black wool
grenadines are sold at soc; a large lot of
colored alapacas are sold at l2c; fine
brown sheetings areretailed as low as &c.
1t is Mr.. DeForest's purpose to make the
people of Stark county Remember Cen

CARD OF THANKS.

The members of the Grand Army Band, of this
city, take this method Of returning to the ladies
of Canton their sincere thanks for their earnest
efforts and effective labors in the management of
the festival given for the benefit Of the Band last
Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. The
kind assistance of the'ladies is thoroughly appre.
ciated, and the interest they manifested in the
success of the Band will be remembered. The
clear profit amounts to about $780,, which, though
great item toward clearing the debt of the Band
is insufficient to liquidate the full amount and il
is hoped that Honorary members and others will
not forget to come to the front.
