SUDDENLY "CHECKED."
Fred Lied. OF the Valley Depot. in Detec
tive Role

Fred Lied, OF the Valley Depot. in a Detec-
tive Role
Mr.. Fred Lied, the cOrpulent. but
genial ticket agent of the Valley depot,
made an important arrest Oh Saturday
night last Two Germans were on the
platform and wanted to remain over
night in the station, as they had no
place to go, but were refused peTmis-
sion. The next day they came around
and sat in the depot all morning
and seemed greatly worried about
one of them saying lit will only be a
couple of years." Mr.. Lied, whose
knowledge of German has been acquired
mostly from the consumption of pret-
zels and cheese, managed to understand
enough to make him think that these
fellows were not all that they seemed,
and so he asked them about the checks,
and one of them, giving his name as
Anton Cans, feeling that Lied looked
like dignified priest, confessed to him
that he had formerly been in the en-
plOy of the wholesale house of Alsas,
May q Co., Atlanta, Ga, and that he had
been systematically rObbing their
mail, until he had about $1,000
in checks distracted, over $500
of which he had cashed and
he wanted to get the remainder cash
ed so that he could go on further. The
German was very confidential withFred,
as he has such winning way he can
even worm out secrets from a tobacco
nist's Indian sign; and so he said to the
cOndding man, 81 have no money with
me, but have a friend up street who is
just OYeTburdened with wealth." They
started, aud Fred steeTed Mr.. Cans
(Which in English means gOOse) into the
ShtrifPs office, and Mr.. AltekTuse kindly
took the checks, placed them on deposit
and gave the goose a spare bedroom.
The other man was also arrested, but
was found not guilty.
Sheriff Altekruse received telegram
from Atlanta, Ca, authorities on Tues
day, to hold Anton Cans. The Sheriff
expects an officer will come for him.

Ed. GoIdberg,s Drawing.

The prize drawing of Ed. Goldberg,

self-binder c. c. Upham, on No. 1889,

"The Fair" under the management of
Mr.. George Hitchcock, is no more, as
another party has bought it, owing to
the death of Mr.. Miller. Mr.. Hitchcock
leaves next week to accept position in
the fancy goods store of Boone & Clip
pinger, 175 Howard street, Akron. We
learn that Mr.. c. Hammond, of Akron,
has bought out the stock of the former
Fair store here. We are very sorry to
lose genial, humorous, witty and busi-
n9ss-like George from the list of Canton
merchants, and almost envy Akron in
gaining such an acquisition. We'l be
up there some day, old boy.

THE NEW YEAR.

The New Year came In with bound.
Smlled on the world, and peered around.
in windows gazed as he passed by
Scanned every sign with wistful eye.
The first words that the silence broke
were-when TO Father Time he spoke
"Old fellow, take this change, and buy
Some Bull Dog Plug for you and l.
Don't stop moment ON the way;
But get II quick. I've heard them say
That in no world that's going round
Has ever such chew been found.
At every pOlLt I've heard the news.
That Bull Dogs king of all the ohews
And, bear In mind. Bull Dog will be
The chew for eighteen eighty-three."

school Meeting.

The annual school meeting held at the
school house last Monday evening, was
largely attended and was much more quiet
and harmonious than such meetings usually
are. The director reported that the amount
on had at the beginning of the past fiscal
year was S1192.57. Amount received from
all sources during the year SS020.36. Amt
on hand at date of report S1,2i9.66.
The expenditures during the year were as
follows; For teachers wages and incidental
expenses, S4,53S.27: paid on bonded indebt-
edness--principal $4,000, interest S1,400
There remains TO become due on district
bonds $4,000; this is payable at the rate of
$1,000 per year. The amount TO be paid
this year, will be, principal and interest,
5000. The amount voted TO be raised for
expenses and payment of Indebtedness was
$4,000. In addition to this amount the dis
trict will probably receive about 5000 from
the mill tax, and q considerable sum from
the primary school fund and tuition of non
resident pupils. $500 of the amount voted
was ordered to be expended in the purchase
of needed chemical, philosophical and anat-
omical apparatus. After disposing of the
financial part of the business, the meeting
proceeded to the election of trustees. Under
the new law making the boards in graded
