The quiet little city Of Ravenna,
situated only 38 miles from Cleve
land, and the county seat of Portage,
has of late been remarkable for
naught but one of the most awful OF
all the horrible railroad calamities of
recent times.
Further research into the local and
personnel of the rural city reveal the
fact that Ravenna has right to be
proud Of her natural advantages,
her location being little gems Of lakes,
where excellent fishing and boating
facilities are afforded.
The people of adjoining cities are
beginning to awaken to the natural
advantages afforded by Ravenna for
summer outing and camping par,

the pleasure Of meeting Fred s.
Louden. known from end to end Of

Original Fisk Jubilee Singers.
Louden was born some for:y-fve
years ago upon farm in Charles
town. Portage county. His father.
Jeremiah Louden, came from Old
Milford, Mass, while his mother
was born at Hinesburg, VT. They
came to Ohio in 1921. and settled
upon the farm where Fred the fourth
child, was born in the year 1916.
His natural musical gifts were
somewhat cultivated and he went to
the city Of Memphis, Tenn. There
he taught a singing school and played
the orgon in the A. M. E. church.
While there he used to notice that
people would come in and remain
during the singing which preceded
the services. leaving Immediately af>

Gold is coming forward rapidly from
Europe, and it is estimated thaE
s12, 100000 has already arrived,
and over 81, 500, COS more is on the
way 1t is not disheartening fact,
moreover, that speculation in stocks
has sustained check, so that it is
not likely at present to absorb
available capital as much as was
recently apprehended The news
regarding the chief industries is
decidedly favorable. Wet weather
in the extreme Northwest has damaged
some wheat which farmers had failed
to thresh, and the lack Of labor is a
serious disadvantage at many points;
but beyond doubt the years yield has
been enormous. Cotton has made
satisfactory progress, and the receipts
have greatly increased, and the pro-
spect as to the yield is better than
week ago. The iron industry IS
more firm in tone, and in spite Of the
comparatively small consumption in
rail making, an output scarcely ever
exceeded seems to be met by the con-
sumption. 1t is felt that the delay
in improvement of the demand for
rails is at present the only barrier to
Il general advance. The mills manu-
featuring bar iron, plates and
structural iron are moderately
and a slight advance
appears here for some forms of
iron, but rails are very
quiet In copper there is uncertainty,
with sales of Lake at II 80 cts; tin
IS dull at 20. 10 cts. and lead in
moderate demand. The market for
wool is quiet at Boston and elsewhere
but sales ere net small, and receipts
at the West greatly exceed last years.
Worsted mills arc running at full
capacity, and while men wear goods
are not selling largely, the manu-
features are nevertheless taking con
siderable quantities of wool, in CON
fidence that the demand will presently
increase. -Dunn's Trade Review.

The people of several counties in
the southeastern part of the state are
greatly exercised over the proceed
ings of the State board of equaliza-
ton, and number of meetings have
been called at which resolutions were
