OUR TOWN.
A Visitor Writes Most Compliment
tary Letter About Canton-The
Impressions Noied.

! Editor Stark County Democrat;
1t having been my pleasure to be in
your beautiful city and surrounding
county for week, 1 desire to say: First
i arrived at Canton on the night of the
I'd inst Upon alighting from the train,
witnessed n beautiful sight-the parade
OF the visiting and your own wheelmen.
1t truly proved that the boys and lassies
OF your beautiful city had made prepara-
lions on grand scale to welcome their
guests. found your streets In fine con-
dition for parade of this character, and
L thought had landed in large city,
and indeed, had, for / we'll remember
(not many years ago), when your now
large beautiful and fiourishing city was
a small town.
On the 4th took survey of Canton,
and was well pleased with It, witnessed
the two parades on that day, and wherever
l went praises were waited in reference
to your fine brick pavements and clean
streets. / must here add, that during the
past few years, have visited many cities
and towns, but l have not seen better
pavements in any of them than you have.
Another thing you can boast of, and that
Is your Industries in your midst was
informed that you had over 400 different
manufactures, and that over 1000 men
were employed in them. That is, indeed,
record you can be proud Of You have
fine buildings of every description, which
Is credit to your growing city.
On the 9th was in the hands of that
good, honest farmer, Mr.. John Snyder,
who conveyed me to his home and the
home OF that dear and noble old lady,
Mrs. George Speelman, and was welcomed
by them In a hearty manner and re-
manned with them few days. enjoying
their society and the good things that
only farmers possess. / can truly say, IL
therS Is heaven upon earth it can be
found In the homes of these two families.
l again returned to Canton and was
taken past your beautiful work-house
(not into it, for 1 was informed only bad
people are taken there, and as was good
was permitted to pass by. In my tray-
els through your county found the roads
In fine condition, which proved to me
that you have good county commission
ers l also found the people kind and
friendly, even the dogs were gentle, and
was not molested in any manner wher-
ever Invent. After spending week of
enjoyment In different sections l have
come to the conclusion that the citizens
OF Canton and those in the country ara
really the people,"
In closing think it is fact that can
not be disputed that Canton is conven-
tion city for 1t has everything that looks
in that direction to make 1t so.
Taking 1t all through i enjoyed my
trip and came back to Cleveland re-
freshed and ready for the active duties of
my occupation and thanking all for their
kindness to me.
With best wishes to you Mr.. Editor, and
all the typos In your Office / am
Fiaternally and truly yours

REV. HERaRuoK OVERCOME.

Last night about IL O'Clock Rev. P. Her.
bruck, residing at 1877 East Tuscarawas arose
from his bed and fell to the floor overcome
with the heat. Mrs, Herbruck and the at
tendant could not get him back to bed and so
fixed him in comfortable position
on the floor where he remained in a
comatose condition until this morning. To-
day Mr.. Herbruck is feeling fairly well but is
confined to his bed. 1t is not at all probable
that this prostration will have serious results
but it is hard to tell as Mr.. Herbruck is so
years of age.

BURIAL OF THOMAS moALI.

On last Sunday afternoon, 4th inst. were
laid away in mother earth the mortal remains
of Thomas Mccall; the little graveyard neaI
his home was the place of interment The
services at the house were appropriate and
were conducted by Rev. Floyd, of Waynes-
burg. The attendance of neighbors and
friends was large, and the procession, as il
Uircled around the road to the place of burial,
seemed half mile or more in length, After
the coffin had been deposited suitable hymn
was sung and the reverend gentleman in
charge announced that few words would be
spoken by Mr.. McGregor, an old time friend
of the deceased.
Mr.. McGregor spoke of an acquaintance
with the deceased of fifty years or more and
when referring to his high character for integ-
rity and generosity he knew the neighbors
would agree with him, All who knew Thomas
Mccall knew him as man of heart, as open
as day to meeting charity, and without osten-
tation, A writer has said San honest mans
the noblest work of God," and assuredly
Thomas Mccall filed the requirement. While
liberal TO all he was firm in his convictions
and faithful and answering in his attach
ments. Those who really knew the man will
ever cherish his memory.
Thomas Mccall was born in Westmoreand
county Pennsylvania, in March, 1909. At the
age of two years the family removed TO Stark
county, so that he lived "a years therein.
He died ON Friday afternoon, the 18th inst
after several weeks of suffering. His wife,
three sons and one daughter survive him
while two sons and two daughters, after reach
ing adult-age, died years ago. II is proper to
say that deceased retained his faculties 10
within short time before his death. Peace
TO his ashes,

WHOLESALE DISMISSAL.

The Alliance Critic says that in order for
freight crews to make better time on the
Ft Wayne big reduction in the number of
crews will be made. This cut will be largest
ever made at one time on this road, and will
throw 40 or 80 road men out of service. The
cause of this is attributed to the fact that there
is not business enough to allow the number of
crews employed to make over living wages.
Engineers and conductors who have been run
ming for the past four or five years will be put
back to firing and braking.

TAYLOR BACK.
He Couldn't Stay Away-He Tells
a Flimsy Story About His
Escapadp.

X. Norwood Taylor, who skipped out
OF town very mysteriously q short time
ago and who told his wife and his former
law partner that he was gone for good, is
back in Canton. This paper entertained
the opinion that he woud turn up again,
and for that reason refrained from sensa-
tional accouts of his case. His intimate
acquaintance said he could not stay away
and this opinion seems to have been cor
rect.
The young man. in an interview in q
Sunday paper, said that he left with the
full knowledge of his wife; that the whole
thing was prearranged. The public will
accept this story very reluctantly. Mrs
Taylor has made statements that lead to
an entirely opposite conclusion, and with
the Canton public her word has by far the
greater weight.

THEIR DIAMOND WEDDING.
A Kennebunkport Couple Who Have En-
joyed rs Years of Married Life.

Kennebunk, July 16.-The celebration
of the 10Th wedding anniversary of Mr.
and Mrs Joseph Manuel, on Tuesday,
was not very elaborate affair and not
attended by gifts of many diamonds for
the aged couple have lived very humble
life, and their last years have been marked
by the absence of sufficient financial pos
sessions to make both ends meet. But
the town and their. landlord and neigh
bors have been kind to them.
Mr. and Mrs. Manuel reside alone in a
house owned by William f. Moody, a mile
from the village. The husband is ninety
eight and the wife ninety six years old
They were married in Kennebunkport
July 1, 1920. She was Miss Sarah l.. Wlldes
of this town, and he was Portuguese
sailor who came to this country three
years before. A fisherman's lot has been
his ever SINCE part of the time as cook
on vessel, later as the owner of little
fishing craft and still later as a common
fisherman. Of their ten children, seven
are living.
Among the visitors at their home Tues
day were Kennebunkport guests who
were curious to see such venerable
householder on such unexceptional occa-
sion. $50

Brisk Blaze in the LeBaron Foundry
Works at Middleboro Destroys Wealth
of Valuable Patterns.

Middleboro, July 16.-At s. Is last night
an alarm of fire was rung in from box
55 for fire in the LIE Baron foundry
works on Vine street. The fire depart
mont responded promptly in answer to
the general alarm.
At first appearances everything indicat-
ed most serious confagration, as a brisk
wind was blowing at the time BY the
united efforts of the fire department. the
flames were confined to the main build
ing.
The pattern shop, filled with valuable
patterns, was saved. Luckily, 1t was
early in the evening, the flames being
kept from spreading to the large lumber
yard Of J. K. & B. Scars & Co. The
firemen were seriously handicapped, ow-
ing to lack Of water pressure.
The loss is variously estimated at from
$685. 900 to 40, 600. Over fifty workmen are
thrown out of employment. The property
was covered by insurance. A number of
valuable patterns, just received from the
Mason locomotive works of Taunton, to
be used for casting cotton machinery,
were destroyed.

The Theology Suitable to Old Orchard.

The following picked up at Old Orchard
last evening may fairly be supposed to re-
feet the feelings of some of those who are
hoping for the coming of hot wave, and
business. The old fashioned theology is
none too Iurid for Old Orchard these dull
fog-filled days:
They advise us all to watch and pray,
To walk in the straight and narrow
way;
And all that we may, SO they say,
Avoid the hot wave coming.
Great Scott, what else does Old Orchard
want?
That heat would make the cities hot.
Burn the pavement underr the feet Of the
lot,
Who wait for the hot wave coming.
With US Hades is a matter of pelf,
just a common thing of dollars and
cents,
Old Orchard would simply be itself,
With such a hot wave coming
Preach to us of rain, and see us relent
Talk of the east wind, and watch us re-
pent,
But tell us of hi, and with great content
Well wait for the hot wave coming.

Rockland, July 16 The escape from
Jail of George Otis and Joe Durham has
been the absorbing topic-of conversation
in this city today.
1t now transpires that Lena Koch, the
Springfield girl with whom Otis eloped
when he came to Maine, was in the city
the afternoon preceding the escape, and
had a long interview with her lover in
the cell. A theory now advanced is that
she gave Otis the file or saw with which
the window bar was removed and she
provided him also with citizens cloth
ing Durham did not wear Jail suit
during his incarceration, hence simila
provision for him was unnecessary.
Another theory is that Miss Koch, her,
self, sawed away the bar and, possibly
with the aid of an accomplish, entered
the Jail and unlocked the cell door
with the key which was hanging nearby.
Thirteen prisoners have now taken
French leave from Knox county's new
Jail and the people.have entered vigorous
protest against the carelessness of some.
