STARK COUNTY GRANGE.

The annual picnic of the Stark County Grange
came OIL as announced on Thursday of last week.
The rainy afternoon kept many In the city from
attending. The attendance Of members, however
was good, and they were addressed by Hon, G.
w. Ogden Levi Stump, Esqr., presided on the
occasion and introduced the speaker, who stated
the objects Of the order as follows: First co one
ration; second education; third, promotion of the
best Interests Of agriculture and fourth the build
ing up q noble manhood and womsnhood and
elevating their calling so that 1t would be respect
ed and not looked down on as simply life of
dEudgery. He said the working classes must
awaken to the deleteriOus effects OF some of our
gigantic monopolies, among the principal being
the railroads, There are at present $4,000 miles
OF railroads in the United States under the con.
troll OF eight men; that as the price of wheat in.
creased last fall in Liverpool and New York the
freight increased; that the railroads had paid
back in rebates to the Standard Oil Company $40,
25O0OO in the last few years, that with this the
company had bought an immense quantity of
choice wheat lands in Minnesota and would
probably try to control the wheat market In the
future. The order was in o Furnishing condition
wherever he had been in the State; that from a
feeble beginning thirteen years ago the order had
grown to one and half million of fmembers. Mr..
Ogden spoke on the south porch Of the Lake
House during the rain.
The picnic was most enjoyable affair withal,
although The rain confined the party to the hotel
part Of the afternoon.
The rain interfered somewhat but the party
were all well sheltered and enjoyed themselves
much IN pleasant meetings with friends and
in social converse.

Canton is getting another railroad The reason
that the Canton boom continues is because her
principal business men have enlightened views
OF their own interest. They are fully aware that
in advancing the general Interests of the town
they are equally advancing their own interest,
and consequently instead of pushing their neigh.
bors down, who seek to introduce new business
enterprises, they lend helping hand to every
worthy project. There are business men and
capitalists in other towns we know OF who would
materially benefit themselves by initiating the
example Of our Canton friends,-AHiance RtvieO.
