Questions Answered.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest
sale of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mnthcrs and grand mothers
never thought of using any thing else for
indigestion or bliousness. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldom heard of appcn-
dicitis, nervous prostration or heart
failure, etc, They used August Flower
to clean out tho system and stop fer
mcntation of undigested foJl, regulate
the action of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action OF the sys-
tenn, and that isall they took when feel
ing dull and had with headaches and
other aches. Yoh only need Il few doses
of Green's August Flower, in liqui.l form
to make you satisfied there is nothing
serious the matter with You.

c"py the ground conformity with the
weed and finally so far overcame it,
but not eXterminate it, as to render

am not now troubled with Bit
ter Weed and have not been for
nearly 20 years. 1t is necessary
however to give the weed a nackset
to let the Lespedeza get the mas

to plow up and fertilize Unnecessary,
and SOW a crop Of Oats, Rye or Bar
ley, and OIL the small grain SOW a
busheI of Lespedeza per acre. This
operation should se accomplished
in the fall.
The pasture will then give spring
and winter grazing when the ground
is dry enough to clear the weight of
the stock.
Let the stock eat up all the Rye
or Barley or Turf Oats and the
Lespedeza will appearin due season,
and | do not think that Bitter
Weed will hurt that pasture again

The Stark County Democrat. [volume] (Canton, Ohio) 1833-1912, 1900-03-20

Our subject and illustration is the old
residence of the late John SaXton, the
original property of the Ohio Reposito-
ry. This building stood on the south
east corner of Market and Eighth SITS,
occupying the north part of the present
SaXton block.
John SaXton was one of the pioneers
of Stark county. He came here from
Huntington, Pa, in the early part of
1915, and issued the first number of the
Ohio Repository March 80, 1915, which
was the first paper published in Canton
or in the county. In fact, there were
not over about half a dozen papers pub
lished in Ohio. The paper has been pub
lished from that time until now, under
various circumstances and changes, but
always retained the name of Repository.
When the paper was first started the
Office for several years was in the two
story frame building yet standing on
the east side of north public square. 1t
was used for many years thereafter by
Jonas Polly, the watch maker and jew
eler and in later years for long period
by George Fessler as a grocery, and now
by different parties for liquor selling.
After this the office was moved down to
the Kaufman house on South Market
street, now known as the Herbst house,
one of the oldest brick buildings in the
city. After that Mr.. SaXton built his
residence and printing office on the two
lots he had bought for that purpose. The
Kaufman lot and the two SaXton lots
made up that block. After Mr.. SaXton
got into his own property, he remained
there until he died, and the office was
kept in the same building he had built
for that purpose as long as he controlled
the paper.
About sixty years ago Mr.. SaXton sold
to his son-in-law, Thomas Goodman,
the part of the south lot on which E. j.

John Caskey son of the ex-sheriff, also
learned his trade at the Saxton printing
office. He afterwards BECAME proprfe-
tor of the Whig or Republican paper at
Millersburg, Holmes county, which he
successfully conducted for a number of
years.
At the time John Caskey was working
at the Repository office, he headed a
band Of temperance reformers that took
a different course pursued today. We
had a man living on North Market
street by the name of Seth Golden, Of
ten called Gorden, who was a good shoe
maker by trade, and had an excellent
wife and several daughters. Golden by
his drinking habits made it very hard
for his wife and daughters. John Cas-
key, together with John Mobley, George
McNabb, and think John Buckius and
a few others, made up their minds that
the next time Golden got drunk they
would attend to his case. They did not
have to wait long until their subject got
gloriously drunk. They got together
that evening and soon found their VIC
tim, and took him to the town pump on
West Tuscarawas street, corner Of De-
walt, and held him under the pump
spout, while others vigorously worked
the pump handle. Golden soon became
sober enough to cry for mercy, but they
kept on in a vigorous style until the
man to all human appearance was al
most dead. and then, as soon as the
pumping process stopped, they put
their much watered subject on rail,
and while several held him others got
hold of the rail and thus carried him
home. Severe as this treatment was, it
had its desired effect. The man was
never known to get drunk after that.
Soon thereafter he Joined the Presbyte-
rian church and died sober and re-
spected man. JOHN DANNER
