Those who are in any way interested in
the growth of our city should remember
that the board of trade have assumed re-
sponsibilities of a character that to in
sure success will require the united sup
port of all live citizens. BY simply levy
ing small assessments for carrying on
work, and meetings held for general in
terehange of views, the board have been
enabled to forward several important en-
terpr;ses, and they who keep in the back
ground and allow the more enterprising
class of people to work for all interests are
simply exercising a privilege which for
crystalizcd ''smalness' cannot be dis
counted The regular meeting of the
Canton board of trade occurs at the band
room in Taylor's block ON next Monday

While people are talking about the fail
ure of JAS. r. Kecne, the great New York
millionaire who brought into that city
some twelve millions of dollars eleven
years ago and last week was swept into
the current and went under, wouldn't it
be just as well to look nearer home and
think of the gambling devices INDUCED in
on smaller scale, but whose results arc
probably far more tremendously destruct-
i've than even the failure of the noted
Kecne. The New York king played his
chips high, supposing his back
ing was unlimited, but history repeats it
self once more and pronounces failure as
a result. The small player bets low, but
as sure as the downfall of Fisk, StockwelI,

A curious phase of the James brothers
era occurred on Tuesday of this week, JUS
tice having finally ovcrtaken Chas. Ford,
the young desperate who killed Jesse
James in Missouri. In remorse at the
deed, he put ball through his own heart.
Gov. Crittepden agreed before the crime
to pardon him. but conscience since seem
ed to have given him no respite Con
sumption, fear of vengeance, and romorse
passed the death penalty on him for a
murder which was most atrocious, because
it was under the prostituted protection OF
the law.
