Good Words From a
New Resident.
Says Akron Is Most Progress
sive City
Of It's Size In the State-WiII

The present Indications for Akron's
future prosperity and advancement
have not been equallcd in the past
eight years. The developments of
each day emphasize this beyond dis.
putc and the most encouraging facts
are presented to substantiate these
assertions. Travelling statesmen and
other visitors TO this city are unani-
nous in their praise of Akron's thrift.
The only complaint in this connec-
tion Is that tenants find difficulty in
securing desirable property to rent, as
there are very few vacant houses in
the city; but this Is one OF the best in
dicahons, as II city which has plenty
of empty houses usually has shops
which are not busy. That persons
living outside of Akron realize these
matters Is conclusively proven. Real
estate Is one of the best barometers
of trade, and when men engaged in
this business are active 1t usually
means that times are good.
L. X. Albaugh, eldest son Of Judge
Albaugh, of Canton, has located in this
city and has assumed the manage.

Hall & Harter's office on South
Howard st, In conversation with
Mr.. Albaugh he made the following
statement to a representative of the

passes any other city of its size in
the country. The bank clearances
here are anywhere from 20 to 80 per

city of Akron's size west of New

is a steady demand for desirable prop

poses while there is not vacant shop

"While canyassing the situation
here a week ago called on Hall &
Harter and asked their opinions re-
garding the present and future pros
poets of the city and they told Inc that
in their years of experience there
never were SO many inquiries for prop
erty of all kinds in the same length

New YORK, Feb. 24.--Joe Walcott,
the Barbadoes negro, received the de.
cision over Joe Choynski, of California,
in the seventh round of what was to
have been a 25-round bout before the
Broadway Athletic club. Choynski
was practically outciassed and received
very severe punishment. Walcott
weighed in at 147 pounds and Choyski
at 1853.
The betting made Choynski a pro.
hibitive fayorite, odds Of 100 to 30 being
freely laid on the chances, but after the
first round, in which Choynski went to
the floor five times, the odds shifted, and
at the beginning of the second round
Walcott was 3 to favorite.
The Californian was groggy when he
came up for the seventh round, and
after he received n right on the wind
and two lefts on the face he staggered
in an evidently helpless manner. Wal

AT no time in our National life has 1t

they may become one of the most po-
tent factors in our party for unifying

The momcntous questions that are
now uppermost in the minds of our
people today, and that will enter into
the campaign this year, have great
need to be carefully considered and
discussed in our clubs. l trust not on
ly your club but all clubs in our state
will early take up these questions
to the end that Ohio Democracy may
be thoroughly enlightened upon all the
vital issues that will be part Of this

the traditions that have been handed
down to us through the century just
passing by such men as Washington,
Jefferson and Jackson, the Twentieth
Century will find the Democratic par
ty securely entrenched, not only in the
hearts of the American people, but in
the administration of the affairs of the
Government. Our clubs have great
duty to perform. May they discharge
1t with fidelity, and thus have part
in bringing our principles to success
