The residence of Mrs. j. B. Wilson on
East TuscaTawas street, was the scene
of a brilliant double wedding Tuesday
noon, in the marriage of her two daugh-
teTs, Misses Elizabeth and Clara. The
former was welded to Mr.. John Rob
bins, ir., of the Eagle WOOlen Mills, of
this city, and the latter to Mr.. Thomas
VOgelgesang, of G. d. Harter & Bros
Bank. The vows were sOlemnized by
Rev. j. NJ. Kendig, of the Trinity Re-

French style, with daTkened doors and
windows and the gas ablaze. Both
brides were attired in pink silk, en-
train, with white walls and Spanish
lace throat and sleeve decorations. The
grOOms wore the usual black dress suits.
The ceremony was performed in the
presence of about sixty of the
relatives and intimate friends of the
families. Among those present were
Mr.. and Mrs. A. w. Coates, of Alliance;
Mr.. Halle Coates, of Hudson, and Misses
Edith ObeTlin and Clara Harsh, of Mas
sillOn. Many letters of regret were re-
ceived, some from the far West and Eng
land. After the wedding ceremony the
assemblage were treated to sumptu-
Ously prepared dinner. A choice list of
valuable presents testified to the esteem
in which both brides are held by theiI
friends. Mriand Mrs. Robbins left on the
3:13 afternoon train for Philadelphia and
Mr.. and Mrs. VOgelgesang left on the 6:3t
evening train for Columbus. After
wedding tours of several weeks, boil
| couples will return and reside in Can
| ton. Mr.. and Mrs. Robbins and Mr.. anC
Mrs. VOgelgesang have the good wishes
of large circle of friends.

REV. p. HERBRUCK.
Brief Review of HiS History as Pastor of
the German Reformed Church.

Rev. p. Herbruck, the venerable pas
tor of the German Reformed Church of
Canton, will begin the fiftieth year of
his connection with the same cOngrega-
tiOn on Sunday next. The occasion is
one so rare in the history of the Chris
tian ministry, that it is to be hOnOred
in sensible manner.
Services will be held in tina forenoon,
afternoon and evening, reverend Doctor
Ruitnick of Cleveland, Rev. Zahner of
GAINESVILLE, and Rev. Keller of Ran
dOlph, assisted by other clergymen, Off
ciating.
When Mr.. Herbruck took charge forty
nine years ago, the congregation num-
bered sixteen; and now it exceeds seven
hundred. Two of the members then,
still survive, namely John Shock and
Henry HOutZ.
The pastor was but youth; not twen-
ty years Old-when he took upon him
self the duties of a Christian minister.
Though inexperienced, he was devoted
in his mission and attentive to his du-
ties. All this accounts for his continued
popularity and wonderful success.
Mr.. Herbruck succeeded the reverend
Faust, who was removed by death, and
with whom he studied. He taught
school year or so before he entered the
ministry. He came stranger from the
old country, travelling on foot from
Philadelphia, without money or acquain-
tances.
We know of no such instance of con-
tinuOusness as a minister. Mr.. Her
bruck, too, we are glad to say, is yet
well preserved though he is within
three months of completing seventy
years.
He is constant and regular in the dis
charge of his ministerial duties; and it
would be difficult to find minister in
this part of the world who has solemn
lied as many marriages as the Rev. Pc
ter Herbruck. They run into thou
| sands.
His church is generally crowded, and
last Sabbath, for example, standing
| room, even, was scarce. We trust he
may long continue able for duty; and
this is the hope, not only of his own
congregation, but of all VINO know the
| man.

Fairmount ChiIdren's Home.

Our readers have all heard of this
home for orphan children of Stark and
Columbiana counties. The first year of
it's existence some ladies of our city in
augurated the custom of sending apprO-
pirate gifts to these little ones at Christ
mas. Since that time the ladies of the
other towns and villages have not per-
mitted this season to pass without do
ing likewise. This year the ladies of
our city are again afforded the privilege
of making the children happy, and we
hope all our people will respond liber-
ally. There are one hundred and forty
children, from 1 to Ia years of age in
the Home. Books, games, toys, dolls
ETC., will be appropriate contributions
Donations may be sent to the residence
of Judge Underhill or DIR. L. Slusser, on

1t is wonderful to see the rush of GUS
toners at MOOre's closing out sale of
dry goods and notions in the Opera
Block. People begin to find out that he
means what he says when he offers
goods at such extraordinary low prices.
The "fire" goods handled by him are as
good as any in the city and much lower.
New arrivals of delayed purchases are
coming in daily, after which no more
new goods will be received, so it is well
for all to come NOW and select from an
unbrOken stock. Don't forget the place,

A Mammoth Store.

Posters have been placed on the two
east rooms of the new SaxtOn block,
stating that as soon as completed the
rooms will be occupied by Goldberg
Bros, One Price Dry Goods House.
This will be by far the largest store
room in Canton, being two large rooms
made into one. The double rooms
measure fifty feet wide by one hundred
deep, and these dimensions make quite
large and airy store. The object of
having a double store is to gain suffi-
cient shelving and counter room to ac-
com nOdate the extensive and varied
stock, which the growing business of
this firm neceSSitateS them to carry.
Long counters and shelving will ex-
tend along each side of the central pill
lars and along the walls. East of the
central part of the store will be located
the business and cashier desks, from
| whicha a commanding view of the entire
store can be had. In the east end of the
south room will be the cloak room, and
| the same part of the north room will be
| used for laces and white goods. stair
| way will lead from the east end of the
store into the basement, which is dry
| and rOOmy, and will be used as a store
| room. Toilet rooms for the convenience
of customers will be provided and
every other adjunct of a well conducted,
metropolitan store. Four show win
dOws, SKI feet, will form ample room
for the proper display of goods. These
windows will at night time present an
unusually fine appearance, as it is pro-
posed by this enterprising firm to light
their store by the electric light, and
have light in each window. The Messrs
| Goldberg expect to occupy their new
rooms about March 1st. This will un.
dOubtedly be the largest and best arran.
| ged store Canton has ever had.

Concerning these resolutions the Gin
cinnati Enquirer of November 26th,
says editorially:
We greatly fear that Postmaster
LOge has made a mistake, and, too, at a
very moment when a mistake may cost
him his head. A telegram from Can
ton, O., which we publish this morning,
shows quite clearly that the soldiers
are after him, and not without cause.
issued an order to the effect that "aIl
applicants for minor positions in his
Office shall be not over thirty nor under
twenty years of age" All soldiers of
the late war are over thirty years of
age, and are, therefore, ruled out by
this order. Small wonder that they
protest. The time has not come when
the politician can fan with his boot the
coat tails of the Union soldiers.
