Important to Ravenna.

The importance of next Mondays
election to the citizens of Rayenna, is
a matter that should engage the atten-
ton of every voter in the Corporation
until the polls close. Two propositions
are to be submitted to the decision of
the public, and upon the issue of that
vote will depend the future of Ravenna
The first one is to authorize the village
to purchase or appropriate lands for
Park purposes, and to pay therefor the
sum of 100000. The second is to au-
thorize the village to issue public inn
provement bonds for Park purposes to
the amount of 100000.
It is very important to remember
this fact, for one proposition is useless
without the other. The first one, in
the event of its being carried, author
ICES the city to purchase or appropriate
lands necessary for park, but pro-
vides no means of paying for the same:
The second proposition comes to the
rescue, SO to speak, and empowers the
Council to issue bonds of the city to
the amount required, 100000. Let
every voter remember this, and be
sure and vote YES, on BOTH propo-
sitions. 1t is very simple matter,
and there is no occasion for any con
fusion or mistake. Be careful, too, and
deposit your ballots in the right boxes.
If you are in doubt, ask the Judges.
whose duty and pleasure it will be to
enlighten you.
During the past six or eight months
the results of thorough business
awakening on the part of our citizens
have been abundant and gratifying.
Within that period there has been in
fused sufficient new life into the aver.
age Ravennian to almost lift him out
of himself into another being. Those
few months have been prolific ones,
thanks to public spirited community,
as witness the immense Strawboard
plant, the mammoth Shoe Factory,
thegreat Carbon Works, the extensive
Brick and TileWorks, the magnificent
plant of the John F. Byers Co., and
the splendid Eagle Glass Works, ali of
which have either located and built
here or will do so within few weeks.
In fact there is but one that has not
broken ground, the Carbon Works,
and that will be under way the mo
ment the two propositions are declared
to have carried.
We do not think it necessary to fur
ther urge this matter to our citizens.
1t is thoroughly understood, and ev-
erybody knows what the result on
Monday means. 1t can be summed
up by saying that if the propositions
fail to carry, business stagnation will
follow, and Ravenna will not be worth
burying. On the other hand, if both
carry, an increase of business will fol-
low of which we have no conception.
Vote no" and you vote to kill the
town. Vote " yes and you vote to
make it live and prosperous city.
We are not concerned about the result
The propositions will receive the unan.
imous support of our citizens. One
year from now Ravenna will have
largely increased her population and
doubled the amount of her taxable
property. The increased taxation will
be decrease in year or two, and we
shall bless the day when our good

more refined q more satisfying example of
Beethoven playing than this by Mr.. Sherwood.
Its sentiment was always appropriate, and the
artists rendering Of 1t always manly. 1t was
honest, straightforward piano playing marked
by keen sensiOility, the ability to penetrate into
the subtler retinements of work of its magni-
tude, and the power to present them with all
clearness and appropriate Individuality"

CASHIER MORRIS TALKS.
He Says He Intended TO Pay His
Creditors In Full

ATLANTA, GA, Jan. 26.-Absconding
Cashier Morris when questioned to-day at
the Jail talked more freely. He said his
fight was not due to business, but to domes-
tic trouble. Though his shortage worried
him 1t was not to escape 1t that he de-
camped. For some time his income had
been insufficient TO meet bis expenses, but if
he had not been arrested he had
hoped 70 make money enough
in st. Louis, whittier he was
going from New Orleans to pay up all he
owed. Morris insists even yet that he will
be able to refund if he can arrange for q
bond and secure his liberty. On leaving
here he visited Memphis and various towns
in Mississippi, during which time he felt no
suspicion, he prstends, that there were
criminal charges against him.
