TURF TOPICS.
CantOn's Flyers Are Getting in Trim
for the Summer-SOme
Horse News.

We notice Mr.. Bountice driving his fine team
of trotters. He has clipped them and they look
fine.
John Wells is driving one which is reported
to be fast. His name we can't guess but will
say he comes from the windy west and can go
in the twenties.
Little Ida, 219l, and Roadmaster, 2:22, are
additions to Cantons many fast ones.
Mr. Nighmans game horse, John McGregor,
2:3l, is looking fine and should go fast this
season.
Ed Langenback is driving his beautiful
team, Mckinley, 2;244, and jess, 2294, of
which he can feel proud
Times have changed since 1876, when Maud
s., 2Os3, sold at the first Woodburn sale for
$3.50, and later to Mr.. Bonner for $4,000.
Master Charley Kinzer is very busy working
his dogs every day. He has closed many CON
tracts for exhibitions at prominent fairs. His
dog Dock, the fastest in the world, should be a
great drawing card.
Dexter Wagon Co. are building some fine
Polo Alto bike driving wagons.
April l2, 1888, Dexter, the famous trotter,
died at the stables of Robert Bonner, New York
city. He was the greatest trotter of his day. He
was the first horse to trot mile in 2:l74. Mr.,
Bonner paid S35, 900 for him in 1867.
Volunteer, the great son of Hambletonian,
died December l3, 1883.
When speaking Of the wonderful develope-
ment OF speed, do you remember or can you
think of the great PAGER, Westmout, who
paced mile i'm 1884 with RAINING mate in
2:O1i.
Maud S.. trotted to her record pos 34 in
1885 which record remains unbeaten to high
wheeled sulky.
Mr.. Hughes, of the Western HOrseman, of
Indianapolis, was looking up the horse inter
ests of Canton, Friday.
Gen Sherwood came out Wednesday with
great team, Robert c.. and Roadmaster, 2:22.
They make fine team and are beyond doubt
the fastest in Northern Ohio. Roadmaster
has national reputation, having represented
the fastest road team in Chicago formerly be-
ing owned by G. G. Jeromer Of that city.
William Bloomfield will have Maud l.. ,2:29i,
and Little Ida, 2;l9i in his large string at the

THE BAPTIST CHURCH.
From Humble Beginning it Has Grow
TO Magnificent Proportions-His
tOrical Sketch.

On April 1, 1849, DR. John Winter OF

HIS FIRST YEAR.
Postmaster MOnnOt's Good Record
New Clerks AppOinted-ImprOve-
ments i'm the Service.

Postmaster Monnot on Sunday completed
the first twelve months of service at the head
of the postal department of Canton and Mon
day morning he started in with the second
years work with increased facilities and
bright prospects. For some time Mr.. Monnot
has been working for another clerk in the
mailing division and at last he gained his
point and Monday morning William Fitzgerald
was appointed to the position. Fitzgerald got
the place under the civil service rule, he be-
ing the highest graded applicant For several
months he has been special messenger at the
post office.
This increase will enable Postmaster Monnot
to give the city even better service than here
tofore. He expects to increase the collections
of mail, and to keep the Office open later in the
evening. Now the last mail is collected at 7
o'clock but hereafter it will be taken up in
the business part of town at in the evening
Besides this the office will be kept open until 0
O'Clock so that letters can be dropped in and
still go out. 1t is proposed to catch all the
late trains out Of the city.
Another change in the working force at the
postofice today is in the distributing clerkship,
William c. Jefiries, of Nashville, Holmes
county, has resigned and Max b. Tilden was
appointed under the civil service rules to take
his place.
The Canton postofllce is comingup splendidly
and today is giving the city as good service as
any in the state. Mr.. Monnot has made won
derful record in his first years work and has
brought about more improvements in the
twelve months than were ever secured in FIVE
times that time before.
When he went into office there was one clerk
in the mailing division. Now there are three.
There are nine more mails in and out of the
city than last year. He established the col
lecting system so that mail is gathered up
promptly. When he took the Office there was
only one box in town, where mail was collect
ed three times day. Now collections are
made all over the business part of the town ten
times day. Before Mr. Monnot ran things,
there was only one box where mail was taken
out later than four clock, now the collections
run up to eight o'clock in all business sec
tiOns.
Beside all this the mail boxes over town have
been increased from 80 to lOl, and in April SO
more will be put up. Metallic cards arrived
| today to be placed on all boxes showing just
when the mail is collected from them.
! With all these improvements, which make
the service equal to that secured by even the
largest cities in the state, it would seem that
little else could be desired, but the postmaster
says he has still some more ideas that will ado
to the efficiency of the department and further
benefit the public. Postmaster MonnOt is L
| he congratulated upon his success He SCENT
TO be the right man in the right place.

hosts the population of Canton was 2, 800
Surely these were the days OF small
things. For short time this heroic
band wOrshipped in the town hall. BY
August 90, 1850 frame school house
was purchased and rehtted at cost of
$500, which were borne by Bro. Danner
and wife alone In 1852 n proposition
was made by Mr.. Danner to the Amer
lean Home Mission Society that If they
would pay $500 to support pastor one
year he would pledge himself to buy u
suitable lot remove the old frame build
ing then occupied by the church on to the
said lot to be used as a chapel and build
new brick church 36 by so fee on the
same lot, and have all paid for within the
year. The board accepted this proposition
and by the aid and cooperation Of the
members and friends about 81, 400 was
collected, which left over $1,000 to pay
out of his own pocket to redeem his
pledge, but it was promptly done, and
on July 5, 1853 the house free from debt
was dedicated to the service of God. All
the members made great sacrifices and
contributed to the cause as they were able.
Deacon Robert Latimer was one of the
burden bearers of those days. BY 1870
new and larger house of worship became
a necessity. Plans were adopted and in
1871 the present building was begun.
The corner stone was laid in May DR..
Thomas Armtage of New York, made
the address and 1t was one of power and
eloquence. In 1879 the house was COM
pleted at "A cost of about $50, 900, and In
October of said year, the Ohio Baptist
Convention met with the church and
were amply accommodated Our space
does not admit of lengthy account
Suffice it 10 say that from that time the
church went into its new building they
entered upon career of great prosperity
and power in the community. Good
and faithful men and women have come
into the church and the church has been
served by good ministers of the gospel
Under the present pastorate OF nearly six
years the church has made the most rapid
growth in its history, due largely to the
fact that perfect harmony has prevailed
between pastor and people, and the cords
Of love are growing stronger and stronger.
The church now has four Sunday schools
with an enrolment of about $50 and an
average attendance of $50. All of these
cshools are well equipped with good
superintendents, officers and teachers.
Brother David collars is now on his 22nd
year as superintendent of the home school
and is greatly beloved and admired by
all
The present membership Of the church
is over 700, more than 800 of whom are
young men and young women. This
church Is always assured of one OF tht
largest congregations in the city.

SAID HE WAS ROBBED.

Canton appears to be the mecca for nice old
men who want TO go out and have time with
the boys. Friday morning an old gentleman
came into police headquarters, and reported
that he had been to the Comique the night be-
fore and some one had robbed him ofS2O. He
wanted the matter investigated. Officer Fred
Romy went down with him to the Comique. II
seems that the old gentleman had had consid-
the boxes drinking beer with a couple Of the
"iairies." II dtn't take long TO spend con-
siderable sum of money in the Comique buying
beer at 80 cents pint. Tho old man bad spent
the greater part of the night in the house, and
as natural consequence his pocket book was
considerably lighter Ia the morning.

renewal of the abundance of old. No
more saddening exhibitions OF mans

of such perhaps the most striking are
those presented by the larger affiuents
Of Chesapeake Bay, the Potomac, and

through the greater course of these
long streams, both the snad and the

In the Potomac the two species would

was not an uncommon draught to Sc
