Mr.. T. j. Cox, Of Iowa City, Iowa, has
been in the city for week past. Mr., c.
owns the Martin farm adjoinining Canton
on the north, besides 1900 acres twenty
FIVE miles south near Calliope and Eden.
He has also bought the Worley farm two
miles north of this place This shows that
Mr.. Cox has entire confidence in the til-
ture outcome of Canton and Lincoln coun-
ty. He leaves Saturday for Chamber
lain.
The candidates for the honor of Alder
men Of the city of Canton, mentioned
elsewhere, who are named rs suitable per-
sons, are old and respected citizens DR.,
Clark has always stood steadtaSt to Can
ton from her infancy and has watched the
growth with pride and admiration. He
has resided in our midst for years and is
we'll qualified for the position named
above The doctor IS conversant with
our wants, and needs in order to keep us
abreast with the times, and therefore a
safe man for the position. Mr.. D. ".
Reed is also quite an old resident, COM
parative!y speaking, is here TO stay and
invest his means, has our growth at stake,
and would make an excellent alderman,
he having both the ability and makeup.
Having known Mr. Reed in Iowa We are
in position to know whereof we speak.
We like to hear a man refuse to take
his home paper. and all the time sponge
on his neighbor for the reading of it. We
like TO hear man complain when as ked
10 subscribe for his home paper, that he
takes more papers than he reads, now and
then go round and borrow his neighbor 5
or loaf around until lie gathers all the news
from it We like TO see man run down
his home paper as lot worth taking, and
every now and then beg the editor for
favor in the editorial line We like to see
a mechanic or merchant refuse to advertise
in his home paper and then try to get
share of the trade which the newspaper
brings to town. We like to see this; it
looks economical thrifty. progressive and
cheeky
Elsewhere appears the proceedings of
the common council held on April 18th
and 22d. We are requested to publish the
proceedings, and would have done 50 last
week had we been at home. Since our
return we learn with regret that the city
has been put to the expense of holding
a special election to fill the places made
vacant by the resignation O, the Messrs.
Brown and Horn. These gentlemen
must now stand or fall by their own action.
We shall admit that they have made true
and faithful officers, and it now rests with
the citizens of Canton to express their
approval or disapproval on next Tuesday,
May ID. While we diSapprove of the
action and know not whether these gentle
men wish vindicatitJn or not, we take the
liberty at this time, as it can do no harm,
in presenting the names of DR.. NJ NJ.
Clark and Mr.. D. ". Reed as per
sons or citizens that would make suitable
successors to the two resigned gentlemen.
Canton has so much good timber that it
is hard 10 make a selection IF candidates
at this late day and we only wish a good
council, one that will work in harmony
and for the best interests of the city. Let
every citizen carefully consider the matter
between now and next Tuesday and act
ACCORDINGLY.
