PEAR BLIGHT.
A Correspondent Has a RomOdy For 1t

A Correspondent Has = Romody For IL.
Complaints pour IN on every side, In
the city and throughout the county, OF
the terrible work of the "bllght." Every
remedy Ia tried but with poor success.
Residents Of the city who have fine
pear trees for Ornamentation see them
slowly but surely burning away. Far
mers see trees which should bring them
In much money for fruit gradually
succumbing 70 the blight.
A correspondent Of the Akron Bea.
con writes on the subject lie based
his theory upon a statement that blight
almost always occurs upon the most
thrifty growing trees, and Is caused by
a larger how OF sap than the tree can
utilize. This surplus sap, under the
action Of the rays Of the sun and a
warm, hurried atmosphere ferments
lpunguS spores) generating a gas which
forces itself along the channel Of the
sap, betweerfth inner bark and wood
poisoning, and burning the limb until
the gas has exhausted Its force, killing
as far as IL goes. The cause OF Its being
contagious he attributed TO the fact
that fermentation, when coming In con
tact with anything that Is fermentable,
will cause IL TO be similarly affected
His remedy is In the Spring Of the year
to run sharp blade Of knife through
the outer bark of the tree reaching we'll
up into the limbs. This would weaken
the bark and allow the gas TO escape
without injuring the tree. He had
practiced this method and had never
lost a tree by blight,

There has been some talk Of Massil-

Joseph Getty Of Beach City was men

Spouse TO an inquiry by the Massillon
Independent he writes:
BEACH CITY, o., August ID.
| have spent some time and money
In working up the enterprise, but ! do
not believe Masslllon is ready yet for
such q connection with Canton.
Yes, SIR, the day Is not far distant
when Massillon aud Canton will be one
great city; every foot Of land between
the two towns will have o nice cottage
for workingmen, or a palace for the
manufacturer and capitalist, but MAS
silIon must get ready for this, and as
soon as she is ready and willing to take
hold OF such an enterprise the line VIII
be completed In a very short time.
Then the good people Of Massillon and
Canton can VISIT each other every hour
In the day; men can work In either city
and live In the other.
Yours in the enterprise,
