| see. Crops In tnat part O1 tue cOuhui
were very, good, and despite the neav! q
occasions, the farmers anticipated max
ing enough off their crops to buy them
saIves a cheap coat at any rate.
But a hail storm came one day las
week.
The hail storm destroyed great por
ton OF the oats and corn and deyastate'
the harvest fields generally. This pu

ished II they CLEAN enough from incl
fields for their own use.
They therefore turned to their hocks o
sheep, RENE mbering the promise OF VA
tariff adherents that wool would pe AZ
big premium this year, When tney az
tempted to sell the wool, however, apS pa
j we're offered prices ranging from ~ 70 =
| cents, they became of the opinion ina
the tariff idea was a delusion and snar'
| and that II didn't work practically as we,
| as II did during campaign ora'ors au
dress.
All these facts may have figured prom
| inently in the reception accorded malol
| VIM. Mckinley, Jr., Republican candioatt
for Governor of Ohio, as he stepped iron
| the Cleveland and Pittsburg train onto
the platform at Malvern Friday morning
TIE reception accorded the Major was .
most courteous one and he was received
with all due Difference, but there was on
utter lack of enthusiasm on the part oil
the populace. If IL hadn't hailed down
there the Major might have been ailrigh''
but nature was against him.
The occasion of Major Mckinley,s visit
TO Malvern, Was the ceremony OF laying
the corner stone of handsome S25,OOO
high school building now in the course OF
erection. The affair was strictly under
the auspices Of the Junior Order OF Amer
lean Mechanics, whose Grand Council oi'
flcers we're in attendance and conducted
the major part OF the services.
A large delegation from Canton, Miner
va, Osnaburg, Robertsville and other
points in Stark county attended and took
part in the days exercises. The Grand
Army band went along TO enliyen the oc-
casion. The services at the school house
were short. The procession having sur
rounded the building, Vice State Coun-
cilor G. e. Coleman, State Council Secre.
tary G. Z. Buchman of Canton and Charles
Deckman took positions near the
corner stone, with Major Mckinley, other
speakers and the Malvern Board OF
Education near by. After introductory
ceremonies, State Council Secretary Z.
E. Buchanan, placed the BOOKS records
and pamphlets in the stone, stating briefly
the contents as they were being plactd.
Solemn music was introduced by the
Grand Army Band and the stone was
lowered TO its position.
The procession then took up the line OF
march 20 the grove where the princioal
exercises of the day were held. Wee
State Councillor G5oTRe L. Coleman de
liyered an address of welcome, which
was responded to by Judge VIM. Mccoy
Of CaTrolltou.
MAJOR M'KINLEY TALKS.
After several songs had been sung by
the hi4h school pupils, Major Mch.nlty
was introduced. There was an utter alb.
SCI &c OF enthusiasm as the distinguished
gentleman stepped 10 the front OF the
fact there wasn'ta symptom
of enthusiasm manifested. The Major
waited tor a few moments to give tue
people chance TO raise their voices in
Dne grand shout, but 1t didn't come. A
son of veteran in the rear of the crowd
rheered family, but seeing that the crowd
didn't Join in with him lie got a few OF
the other sons Of veterans, four or 1--WE
girls and three watermrlons and went up
over the hill TO have fun.
Major MrKluley's address was entirely
on cducation. He didn't even roucn on
the tariff, his pet subject fer discourse,
heuco seemed TO be at somewhat of n loss
" hat to say. AS Que f tho Malyernltes
said: "MrKinley can't talk about any
thing but tariff, and when he gets of that
suhj ices be is iost.'
After speaking of the advantages of to-
day rs compared with the advantages OF
our forefitners, the Major went into
lengthy historical dissertation on schools
In general, which did not interest the
au lieuce TO any ext ynt. Primitive educA-
ton was dwelt upon at some length, Ths
authors aud founders OF the present Rrad-
hd systt IN ot the puolic schools came in
for honorable mention.
THE problem OF bread and butter" ac.
the Major, finally, "is para
mount aud the solution of this problem
precludes the possibility of many attend
house is the school house for the masses.
Ii recognizes no creed and that's what
like il for.n
Major Mckinley then delivered himself
Of few remarks about the order of Amer
lean Mechanics and the splendid work
they are doing. He thought the order was
of the greatest benefit To all of the people.
~ would rather be able 10 use the shovel
we'll than to be quack doctor or o preach.
or whose congregation would not listen to
him." was one OF the Majors brightest
gems of thought.
Continuing, he said, 1--WE not only water
our stock, water our education and pad
the curriculum of our colleges, but we
water our milk and adulterate our food,
want no shoddy in mine."
The Major at this juncture stated that
he didn't come 70 Malvern to make
speech, as he had an engagement which
he considered demanded his attention,
but as the people of Malvern had stuck to
him he had concluded 70 stick TO them.
The balance of the address which lasted
only about 1S minutes, was not worthy of
great consideration. During the entire
speech not word was paid about the
tariff, and the wool question was entirely
ignored. Even the rattle of American tin
platewas not audible.
At the conclusion OF Major McKinley's
address the Ladies' Aid Society of the Sons
of Veterans of Canton gave an exhibition
drill which was creditable performance.
The Sons OF Veterans OF Canton under
the charge OF Captain Will also gave an
exhibition in military maneuvers and in
the manual of arms.
THE GRAND ARMY BAND
the entire neighborhood. Their
music was of the highest order and every
member of the band, including jolly Ed.
Bour the drum major, made decided hit.
There were several other first class bands
In attendance, but were at no time In the
race with the Grand Army which had
every thing their own way. The Carroll
county hills are still resounding with the
strains of music.
The Canton party arrived home at 8 80
o'clock, well pleased with their trip.
THE MARINES ON TOP.
The reputation of Canton on the dia-
mond was fully sustained by that splendid
little amateur team the Marines. The
boys jumped off the train as soon as 1t
reached Malvern, donned their uniforms
aud beat the crack Carrollton club before
dinner by score Of 10 TO 4. In the after
noon large crowd saw the Marines again
defeat the Carrolltons to the tune offs to2
The afternoon game was a pretty contest.
Barlette pitched both games.
