GA place Of Canton's size and no
handsome church, we overheard stran-

why cannot we keep up with towns of the
same size? We do not need an opera

branches of amusement to give us call
We need culturing in this new country,
and don't let us get rusty for the want of
buildings to accommodate a crowd.
