There is still pretty good Shedding

county.
A man named Sabbath has Just been
turned down for justice OF the peace
In Chicago. The trick was probably
turned by the liberal element.
That excruciatingly funny young fel.
low who insists upon rocking the boat
will soon be doing his annual turn at
the various summer resorts.
Canton citizens will take an unusual
interest in the Lost, Strayed or
Stolen columns of the New York pa

Lightning struck the home of Cap

Little Kinsman, over in Trumbull
county, that has the honor of harbor-
