Yes, it appears very simple thing,
but the grace, politeness, and gentle
ness of speech that once distinguished
the women of Canton, have become
things Of the past We hear our fe-
male friends, sometimes rejecting Sc
verely on the lack of high bred gentil-
itv, and the decay of chivalry among
men. They forget that men are the
exact reflex of their mothers and Sis
tiers. The history of all the great
men of the past, is faithful delinea-
tiou of the women of their day. 1t is
impossible for the stream to rise high
err than its source, and so it is that
men can never rise above their moth
ers, sisters, and wives.
We are requested to announce thai
there will be musicale given at the
Opera house in this city, on the even
ing of Dcemeber 81, under the direc-
ton OF Miss Estelle Randall. Miss
Estelle has recently returned from the
Cincinnati Conservatory of Music,
where her magical voice and wonder
full musical genius has undergone
thorough culture and training in that
famous school of music. We under
stand the concert is given for the pur-
pose of raising money to enable Miss
Estelle to take postgraduate course
in the Boston Conservatory of Music.
Miss Estelle is already the recognized
song bird of Mississippi, and when she
shall have finished her musical educa-
ton, will easily rank among the great
est female singers of the country.
The people of Canton should take
special pride in encouraging this
wonderful musical prodigy.
When greatness has encompassed
man with her mantle and fame has set
her signet upon his brow in unmistak-
able terms, localities vie with each
ether in claiming the honor of his birth
or childhood. Notably among such
Instances is the confusion fegaratng
the birth place of Columbus. Canton
has been the cradle of genius of no
mean order which it may become our
pleasure and duty to record at differ
ent times in the future. One conspic-
uous character who now occupies the
public mind, passed his boyhood in
Canton, where his parents lived and
where he has an extensive kindred.
We refer to Bishop c. B. Galloway who
has recently travelled so extensively in
oriental countries, and contributed such
graphic and minute descriptive articles
to the press OF the state on the manner
and customs OF the people, and nations
among whom he has journied. Kosci
usko may claimhisnativity but Canton
reared and nurtured him in his youth.
aud naturally follows his ascending
career with the fond admiration of an
alma mater.
Last Thursday night while the deni-
zens of Canton were softly reclining in |
the arms of Morpheus, and the s'rusti-
Gus and red-necks"> lay dreaming OF
the good things the TIMES says is in
store for them, a dull, clicking sound
could have been heard by possible
passing ears emanating from way up |
in our office where the brave, noble
boys of our force ran the press all
night long until the ascending dawn
came to chase away the departing
night. They had to deliver by con-
tract 100 copies of this paper to an ad-
vertiser by 10 o'clock next morning,
and swore it should be done if
t took all night, and it was
lone. Don't such paper and such
/ force deserve your support and pat
ronage? If the business men of Cam
ton and the people of this county
will support us as they should, we
will redeem our waste places and make
hem blossom as the rose. If you
ion't believe it just try it for one year
ind IL you don't see signs enough to
Encourage you to keep on, then we
will all fold our hands and take our
ong last leap into Sheol together.
AS the holidays approach everybody

laws more and Christmas will be here.
TO the little folks who have eagerly
waited its coming the past few months
rave seemed like years. Those OF us
who are older remember only a few
7ears back, how the days dragged
llong and it appeared as If Christmas
would never come. Now each sue
Feeding year seems shorter and time
lies on fairy wings. 1t is hard to
.ealize that '95 is so near at hand. yet
I is so, and the close of the year is a
IL time to review the past and to out
inc future that will bring us more
pleasure and greater happiness. The
christmas of today is nothing like the
christmas of our boyhood days; 1t has
hanged with each successive genera
ion. No, the day has not changed,

come to us as full of
