The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1895-03-14
BY THE WAY.

Albert Fisher, Chicago This is the simple
register at the Hurford house. Mr.. Fisher,
however, is an old Cantonian. He resided here
many years ago and is acquainted with all our
citizens. His father erected and operated the
first paper mill in Stark county and furnished
the Saxton's and McGregor's all the paper they
used in early newspaper days.
Mr.. Fisher is connected with the Bethlehem
Iron Co., of Bethlehem, Penn. He is the west
ern agent ofthe company. In conversation with
a NEWS man Mr.. Fisher said that his company
had recently received an order from the Rus
sian government for armor plate the cost Of
which would run up into the six figures He
also said several large orders had been received
of late.
Speaking OF the revival of business Mr..
Fisher said that he could see unmistakable
signs of improvement. Discoursing on the
business situation the gentlemen said that the
probable reason people did not think business
was booming, was because people today
were doing business OH business
methods. That three or four years ago
man with 500 would branch out into a
$40, 900 business and expect the business TO
carry him through. 1t was Just such business
as caused the panic; the business world had TO
get down to sound principles 1t is at sound
principles now and will continue for long
time. There is plenty of money and the peo.
pie who order goods are able to pay for them.
Mr.. Fisher left this afternoon for Chicago.
He was here only on little visit, to renew the
scenes of his earlier days.
s"a
Superintendent Southworth, of the Fair
mount Children's home, was in the city today.
He reports his little charges all in good condi.
ton. He had with him several bank books OF
the Central Savings bank of Canton. He says
that frequently people who are visiting at the
home give a boy penny or five cents, or they
do some chore for which they receive little
money This money the boys bring to
him, and when he comes to Canton he
deposits it for them in the Savings
bank taking the account in their names. What
little trouble it is to him, he says, is more than
made up in the pride the boys take in their ac.
counts. He has quite number of these ac-
counts, and the aggregate amount runs in the
neighborhood of $50. Last summer fruit ven
der made it his business to make frequent trips
to the home to exchange his fruit for the little
fellows pennies. That was soon stopped. The
little fellows were too anxious to trade. Each
boy who has bank account stimulates some
other boy to start one..also.

Commissioner Clutz has received letter
from John Mcbride. Mr.. Mcbride has reached
Hot Springs and has taken several baths and
thinks it will do him some good. Mcbride
says there are about 40 cases of smallpox re-
ported down in that region, but the people
don't seem to be alarmed. The disease is un-
der control.
Congressman NJ. D. Harter, writing to Hon.
VIM. G. Beebe, under date of March 4th, said
