MES that the plaintiff is his wife, claim
ing that she secured q divorce from him

mOny now. The docket shows that at

JEANNETTE's HAIR.

o, loosen the curls that you wear, Jeannette.
Let me tangle my hand In your hair, my pet.
For the world to me had no dsintler sight
Than your brown hair yelling your shoulders Whita
1t was brown, with golden gloss, Jeannette.
1t was finer than the silk Of floss, my pet,
Twas thing to be braided, and iewSled and kissed
Twas the loVelIest hair in the world, my pet.
My arm was the arm Of a clown, Jeannette
1t was slnewy, bIistled and brown, my pet.
But warmly and softly 1t loved to caress
Your round white neck and your wealth OF tresS
Your beautiful plenty OF hair, my pet.
Your eyes had swimming glory. Jeanette,
Revealing the old dear story, my pet;
They we're gray, with the chastened tinge Of the W
When the trout leaps quickest to snap the fly,
And they matched your golden hair.
And your lips-but have no words, Jeanette,
They we're fresh as the twitter Of Birds my pct.
When the spring is young and the roses are wet
With the dewdrops In each red bosom set
And they suited your gold brown hair, my pet
U. you tangled my life In your hair. Jeanette.
Twas slken and golden snare, my pet,
But so gentle the bondage, my soul did Implore.
The right to continue your slave evermOre,
With my fingers enmeshed in your hair, my pet.
Thus ever dream what you were Jeanette,
With your lips and your eyes, and your hair my pot
In the darkness Of desOlate years moan,
And my tears tall bitterly over the stone
That covers your golden hair my pet.

A PUBLIC PARK.
Canton Can Have A Magnificent One Free
of Charge
IL She VIII Only Reach Out Her Hand and
Take It---rhe New and Extended
Fair Grounds Is the Place and
Canton Can Have IT.

The public park question has been
agitated considerably Of late and sever
al projects have been proposed. ALI,
however, have been coupled with con-
siderable expense.
the statement made 10 the head lines
OF this article may appear ridiculous,
but 1t Is the cold, hard truth. Canton
can get magnificent public park for
the asking, and The place Is none other
than the new aud extended Fair
Grounds, composed of fifty acres, in
cl0ding the grove on the Cook farm.
The proposed extension of the Fair
Grounds has been fully explained In
these columns and no doubt will soon
be made. The thirty acres OF the Cook
farm can be purchased for 5000 per acre
and this the County Commissioners will
pay. The only obstacle In the way is
the purchase Of about four or five acres,
north OF Hermann's restaurant, owned
by Mrs. Hoffman and Mr.. McQusde. Un-
less the latter soon sgree to. sell
at what the Agricultural Society con-
siders a reasonable figure the Society
will change their tactics. They will
let this property out of the scheme,
Yacate the Louisville road from the north
line OF Mrs. HOffmsn's property, to where
the new road will join the present road,
east Of the bridge, and then have the
city establish q street through the alley,
north of Hermann's, and continue the
road through the Cook land as previous
ly described In the DEMOCRAT.
The Fair Grounds, although controlled
by the Agricultural Society, Is county
property, and the purchase of the new
territory must be made by the County
Commissioners.
NOW ABOUT THE PARK.
The Agricultural Society is generous
and when the grounds are not being
used for Fair or horse racing purposes
the society proposes to turn the grounds
over to the city for public park. All
the city need do Is to open out street
north Of Hermann's and after the Fair
Grounds are extended, accept the tender
of the grounds from the society.
The question of extending the water
works to the Grounds, erecting f0un.
tain, laying walks, putting In rustic
benches and beautifying the grounds
generally will be an after consideration
for this city. As to the street cars run
ming there, Superintendent G. Z. Cook,
OF tne street Gar Company, will no d0uDt
have cars running to the park just as
soon as Canton gets 1t.
Lovers Of horse-racing and the prOjec.
tors Of the Canton Driving Association
will be pleased to learn that In the Cook
farm portion of the new Fair Grounds q
half mile National Association track
will be located, with good
location for large grand stand.
During the year the track will be open
to all people In the city, who can
have free use of the track for exercising
their horses and trying the speed of
their trotters.
The grounds, as extended, will bring
the east boundary only short distance
from the Ft. Wayne railroad and that
road will no doubt indulge In the excur-
sion business from points along Its line,
during Fair time, delivering its passen-
gers within minutes walk Of the
grounds.

CALLED TO REST.
Death Of One OF Navarre's Most Honorable
and Aged Citizens.

hhu ABnu OAti1ohps
The citizens of Navarro are called up.
on to mourn the loss Of one of her most
honorable and aged citizens, In the per
son of David MenIZ IZeT, who departed this
life Friday afternoon aJ half past
O'Clock at the ripe age Of 72 years, after
a lingering illness Of six weeks.
Mr.. Mentzer has been citizen of Ma
Varre and Bethlehem township for q
great many years. He came to this
town from Maryland when quite young,
and where, by honest and hard laOor, he
galned himself handsome homestead,
sitnated just east of town, upon which
he resided until the year OF 1850, when
he decided to locate in Navarro. Once
In town he embarked Immediately In
the dry goods business, In which
he has been engaged until a re-
cent date, and known as the firm OF d,
MentzeT & Co., having taken as part.
ner his sOn-in-laW, Capt. W. A. Miller,
who died several years ago. At about
the same time that he embarked In the
dry goods business, he also commenced
the buying and shipping of wheat, corn.
oats and other grain, and 1t Is not at all
exaggerated when 1t Is stated that he
bought more wheat than any other man
IN Stark county. The firm of late years
has been known as d. Mentzer & Son
During the 26 years he has been In busi-
ness he has always been strict and at
tentiVe to business, acquiring the con
f1deRce and good will OF everybody he
dealt with. He was also most liberal
and generous citizen. When anybody
would ask him for favor he would hard
| lY ever refuse the request. Mr.. MentZer
has also for good many years filled
several township offices. In the spring
of 1873 he was elected as township
trustee by The Democracy, Of which
party he was stern advocate, which
office he filled with credit for three
years or until he was elected as Treas
uTer of Bethlehem township, which
office he filled at the time of his death,
being therefore elected ten consecutive
time and nominated by the Democrats
at all times without opposition. There
was born to Mr.. and Mrs. Mentzer five
children, two sons and three daughters.
two of which, a son and daughter, died
while quite young. Those living are
Jacob E., Mrs. Elizabeth Miller, widow
of the late Capt. W. A. Miller. and Mrs
Caraline Hawk, wife of John Hawk, now
located at Pittsburg. Mr.. Mentzer
leaves great many friends and host
of relatives to sympathiZe with the
family In the death of 80 worthy q
