Winters the time when live in the city,
Summers the time that Is brimful Of Joy.
Winter Just bores one. with school and ia

And act like a dandy whereer he may 90.
There fences to climb, and there's rabbits 70

And whistle, and wear your old. torn

But grown folks don't know, that's my honest

Golden Days
A reporter on the Cleveland Leader
rode down from Cleveland to Canton on
wheel last week and back to Cuyahoga
falls by moonlight In Mondays Leader
he devotes full column to howery
description of the run, which is pro-
nounced one of the finest in the county.
He says.
The run from the falls to Canton,
twenty-five miles each way, was but, an
overgrown jaunt, intended to be but an
hours afternoon roll over a few of the
hills of the neighborhood. Every wheel
man understands how easy 1t is to go on,
and on, when once under way, especially
amidst inspiring scenery. There Is a
peculiar exhilaration in seeing tn scenery
whirl by on either side, like tw1 great
revolving planes with axes in th far dis
tance, and apparently set in motion by
the swiftly speeding pneumatic tires
touching the circumferences of both.
Village after village is passed, and in a
days run when city after city is ap-
preached and left in the background,
sense of independence comes to the wheel
man which is really exquisite. He goes
almost where he will asking few favors
except that the roadway be well main
tained. On this point there is little call
for complaint in Summit and Stark coun-
ties, for it seems to be a civilized country.
This is certainly the impression that the

beautiful little city that has the honor of
being, the home Of Mckinley. Every
street of the main portion of the town Is
nicely paved with good firebriok, and it is
clean, which makes possible another ex-
cellence-it is dry.

Down at Washington Court House the

invited Coxey to speak, and the silver
democrats kick, and they will probably go
off by themselves.
The Criss would suggest, for the con-
sideration of the approaching democratic
state conventoin, the name of Gen. Isaac
r. Sherwood, of Canton, in connection
with the nomination for governor. The
general is sterling democrat, and a
worthy representative Of the party. East

The decision of Judge Kicks concern
ing the foreclosure of the mortgage on the
Valley railroad is still awaited with inter-

If he decides the property must be sold it

make extensive improvements in the line,
and will begin as soon as assured that
they are to get the further control of the
property.
Almost every day strangers are seen in
this city asking to be directed to certain
streets, especially in the center of the
town, where there is scarcely on one cor
ner In ten board to direct them.
Citizens who know the town go around
the streets hardly thinking on which one
they are, and do not realize the need of
such guides Would it not be well for the
proper authorities to have complete set
of marking boards placed at the street cor
ners.
