GRACE M'KINLEY TO TEACH.
Presidents Niece, a Graduate OF
HOlyOke, Will Instruct
There.

About year ago Miss Grace McKin-
ley, a niece Of. President Mckinley,
graduated from the famous school for
young women at Holyoke, Mass, says
the Chicago Times Herald. She was
described at the time in the newspapers
as being tall blonde, with grave
features, thoughtful sand Of confident
bearing, yet Of lovely disposition. 1t
was added that she had more friends
than any other young woman In the
school. She has been at her home In
Canton now for year and has tired OF
social pleasures and resolved to take up
with a career of practical usefulness.
She has accepted a position as teacher
in the Holyoke academy and announces
to her friends that her life work is
to be that Of a teacher.
The Canton people are not surprised
that Grace Mckinley should engage In
educational employment, as her aunt,
Miss Anna Mckinley, sister of William
Mckinley, was successful and greatly
loved instructor in the Canton schools
for twenty years. She died while her
brother was in congress, but she always
believed that he would be president.
It is said that Grace is much like Anna
in character and mental qualifications
and great things are predicted Of her
in the educational field.

East Selecting Goods.

Some eight or ten cars Of new goods
for "the daylight" store Of VIM. r.
Zollinger & Co., have been received
within the past few days. The buyers
of this firm have been busy in the east
for some time and the result Of their
labors. is being shown by the immense
stock of goods now being received.
The growth of this firn places Mr..
Zollinger to the force Of business circles
of Canton. His enterprise secured the
capital to erect the magnificent building
that graces the public square and
makes 1t an object OF pride to every
re sident of Canton. Canton Is mod

Notwithstanding the misstatements of
alleged census enumerators, and VIM.
Zollinger Is one of the men who has led
in the development.
A city Is judged by It's stores and "the
daylight" store gives promise Of being
one of the institutions that will ma
terially aid Canton in it's progress.
That the people will appreciate this en-
terprise is without question. They

PIXIES FIRST
ANNUAL REUNION
Held Saturday At Steinmetz's
Grove, Near HOwenstine.
OVER 1000 PEOPLE PRESENT.
Squire j. 3. Hudson Was Made Chairman OF
the Day and Delivered the Introduce
tory Address--Other Ad-
dresses Made.

The first annual reunion of the Pike
township citizens was held on Satur-
day in Steinmetz's grove. near Howen-
stine. Over 1000 citizens Of Pike and
immediate vicinity were present, and
the reunion was decided success.
Games of all sorts and athletic sports
were INDUCED in and the Mapleton band
furnished good music throughout the
day. A permanent organization was
effected and the reunions will be held
annually hereafter. At the noon hour
the well filled baskets were opened and
a bountiful repast was had.
Following the dinner Squire j. 8.
Hudson was made chairman Of the day
and in making his Introductory address
to the representative people Of Pike
said: .'-
II thank you for the kindly invita-
tion you have extended me to preside
| over this, your first reunion of your
great social township organization, and
I assure you that I appreciate your
| confidence thus expressed. In the name
Of the great township of Pike I extend
to all a hearty welcome. The sturdy
yeoman, who built their cabins on these
hills and planted their gardens in the
wales of picturesque old Pike, bequeath-
ed to later generations magnificent
monuments of noble manhood's heroic
toll. Before them primeval forests
melted into orchards Of fruit trees and
fields of waving grain. Byways became
thoroughfares, and rough places al
coves Of pleasant retreat.
SCHOOLS and churches dot your hill
tops and herds of cattle and fields of
grain mark your valleys. With health
full climate, fertile soil, inexhaustible
mineral resources, and a people intelli-
1 gent and energetic, Pike township,
great as she is, possesses the elements
of much greater development. What
the future may evolve can only be
conjecture. The present alone Is ours
and IL we properly take of 1t, the future
will take care of itself.
"This morning you left your fields
factories and mines to enjoy a festa
day. Let nothing mar 1t. You came
with light hearts and heavy baskets
may you return to your several homes
this evening with light baskets and YET
lighter hearts,"
Other addresses were made by r. A
Cassiday, Charles Kreichbaum, Rev. ]
II. Harrier and James A. Welker.
Among those who worked hardest FOL
the success Of the affair were Samue
) Smith and James Steinmetz, and t.
them Is due much of the credit for thu
pleasant manner in which everything
passed Off.

The cut at the head of our column
today will at once be recognized by old
citizens as the old Fogle mansion, after
wards known as the Griswold mansion,
that stood where the present residence
of Mrs. Aultman now stands, 7OS North
Market street.
This building was ERECTED in 1888 by
William Fogle, ST., the grandfather of
III. c. Fogle of our city. At the time 1t
was built 1t attracted much attention
as 1t was far beyond other residences
then built in Canton. I can well remem-
ber that on pleasant evenings and Sun
days there would be a constant stream
of visitors to see the progress being
made in putting up this wonderful
building.
Abraham Daughenbaugh, whose wife
was a sister to Daniel and George De-
walt was the carpenter and the contrac-
tor. At the time Mr.. Fogle built said
house he owned quite tract Of ground
on which his residence was put. 1t in
cluded the Whiting property north of
| 1t, and run down to North street, and
| extended all the way from Market TO

| that time the northern corporate limit

property. This whole tract I have
above described, which must have been
about ten acres was all included in the
| grounds then belonging to the new
Fogle house, no other building was then
on this large tract. Now many comfor-
table houses are on said tract, located
on North Market, Walnut and North
street.
At the time speak Of Canton could
not have had more than 1880 inhabi-
tants. The garden which was quite
large and we'll cultivated generally, was
south of the house, from where the
Calvary Presbyterian church now
stands, up to within rs or 100 feet of tho
Fogle home, which at that time was
known in general as equality HILL"
William Fogle had three sons, Adam

thereafter. He died about q years
ago, and since that time many changes
have been made, and the grounds cut
up into small lots, although some of this
was done before the property got into
Mr.. Cooks hands.
While 1t was true for many years that
the Fogle mansion spoken of was the
best house in Canton, today If it were
standing would command no attention
except for its antiquity. Canton at this
time has quite a number of most ex-
cellent buildings, both brick and stone.
some that are used for residence pur-
poses and others for business, that are
the equals of the best buildings in the
state and supplied with modern i'm
provements, elevators, electric lights.
telephones, which were entirely un-
known when the Fogle mansion was
built. Changes and improvements are
constantly being made, and it is i'm
possible to predict what Canton may see
during the coming century, which will
soon be here.
The large brick residence owned and
occupied by Hon. William r. Day, and
nearly opposite the old Fogle mansion
was also built many years ago, but at
not so early date as the Fogle house.
Rev. Stephen A. Mealey, father-in-law
OF the late Louis Schaeffer was the
original builder, but in late years after
the death of Rev. Mealey, the house
| was much enlarged by Mr.. Schaeffer,
who occupied it until his death-so that
the property has been continued in the
| same family. This house, too, for many
years was the only one from Louis
avenue to North street, and the only
house east Of the Catholic grounds to
Market street. The house Of Hon. Will
liam Mckinley and all those houses be-
| tween that and the Day mansion. have
been put up since; and also those houses
south of the Day home down to North
street.
| The third house put up in that direc-
tion aside from the farm houses be-
yond, was the two story brick occupied
by Leopold Biechele. I built that house
in 1856 and sold II to Mr.. Biechele in 1867.
He has occupied it ever since. The next
year thereafter Hon. Seraphim Meyer
built the two story brick now owned
and occupied by Mrs. Harriet X. Whit
ing, widow of the late julius Whiting,
Sr. From that time on buildings be-
gan to spring up quite rapidly in that
vicinity, and now it Is thickly dotted
with pleasant homes far beyond that
