TWO MONTHS
Needed to Complete
Drainage Ditch.
Will Make Valuable Land on the
Tuscarawas Flats.
(Special Correspondence


Barberton, Nov. 24.-The drainage
ditch, the construction of which
was recently authorized by the
county, for the puspose Of
draining the swamp land near the
Tuscarawas river. from New Portage
to the Wolf Greek ditch, will be COM
pleted in two months. The ditch will
cost the county $4,000. and
when complete, will add much value
to land in Barberton and vicinity,
which is now practically worthless.
A proposal was made some time ago
to the village of Barberton by Mr.. o.
q. Barber, in which he offered to es-
tablish several additional industries on
the plats near the Tuscarawas, If vii
lage authorities were successful in
having the land drained. The matter
was taken up with the County Com
missioners, and the ditch now being
dug, is the result.
If the expectations are fulfilled, and
the ditch is completed by the end of
February, next spring will probably
see Barberton engaged in another
building boom.

Gloomy skies, wet streets and gener.

the patronage of the reading rooms at

and 120 boys and girls and men and

fore the Library opened at 2 o'clock
the crowd had begun gathering, ana
Il half hour later the rooms were too
full for comfort.
Among so many there was natur-
ally some noise" said Miss Edgerton,
the Librarian, Monday, but only once
was 1t necessary for Inc to request
greater quiet. Most of those at the Ii.
brary were boys of from to Is years
of age, but all classes and all ages
were represented and from now unit
the fine days of spring, each Sun
day will find just such a gathering IL

Especial Correspondence.)

Columbus, Nov. 25.-The question
of the abolishment of the state levy
on real and personal property Is one
which now seems to be uppermost in
the public eye. While the precise pro-
gram to be recommended by the state
administration for the purpose of ac-
complishing this object Is not known,
1t is thought that in addition to the
imposition of tax on corporations, the
Dow tax will be increased very ma
terially. Insurance Commissioner
Vorys suggested that the tax OH in
surance companies operating in the
state, portion of. which goes into
county treasures, should be diverted
entirely into the state treasury, and
while this idea Is conceded to be q
good one in many respects, yet some
contend 1t would not fully meet the ext
gencies obtaining and consequently
would not be altogether satisfactory.
The proposition to tax corporations
one-twentieth of one per cent. of the
capital stock, If carried into effect,
would yield something like $1,OOO,000
to the state, which in itself would be
insufficient to justify the wiping out
of the state levy. From this view
point arises the belief that If the state
levy is to be abolished it will be nec-
essary to resort to all three methods
described, in order to force to a sue
cessful conclusion the movement un-
dertaken by the state administration
to tighten the burdens of the tax
paying people of the state. "

Hortonville, Ky, Nov. 25.--(Spl.)-
There will be no battle between troops

This sickness is one of the things

A little more than two miles from
the Newtown Station, a mile and a
half beyond Sandy Hook, is the quiet
hamlet of Berkshire, the creation Of
the late Samuel Curtis, and at present
the property, mainly, of his son, Hen
ry G. Curtis, of this place. q
1t consists Of a plant for manufacture
ing combs and buttons, with both
water and steam power, in which a
few men and women are still employ
ed, country store, and II dwelling
houses all in a short street together.
Communication tickets from Bridge
port $1S per quarter, and public con-
veyence by stages can be had to and
from the railroad at any time. There
lisa telephone in the store and in the
residence of Mr. Curtis. The Rural
Free Delivery passes every morning,
and back through the place in the aft
ernoon. Bakers, butchers, ice-cart,

woods, wild flowers, birds, and pond
for fishing, swimming, and bathing,
clear sweet air, and churches only a

And here are five or six houses which

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR BUSINESS MEET
ING.
Next Monday evening, May 6, the
Christian EndeavOr society will hold
it's semi-annual business meeting in
the prayer meeting room at 7.30
O'Clock. The nominating committee
for the next six months, and care
fully prepared account will be given
of the work done by each committee.
The secretary is to give the history of
the society, meeting by meeting, since
the first of the year. Not single
committee will be found wanting, for
some excellent work has been done
which cannot be passed in silence.
Let this meeting in attendance be a
reflection of the splendid rally Of last
Monday evening.
Next Sunday morning, May 5, the
Sacrament of the Lords Supper will
be observed when five persons will be
received into the membership of the
church as follows: Mrs c. w. North

announcement is made that on Sun
day, May 10, both at the morning and
evening service, Rev Charles E..

been able to fix date with him. Mr.
Ewing, with his wife and two little
children, were with the English Lee
cation in the terrible siege Of Picking
when for weeks their lives hung by q
hair, and in most awful vividness they
knew not what ia day might bring
forth. These events, upon which the
whole world SO intently fastened it's
eyes, are not yet so far away but that
they can be recalled with strange in

be here for Sunday evening, May II,
though that cannot now certainly be
stated.
The Endeavor Society was favored
last Sunday evening by Mrs Frank S.
Andrews, of Bridgeport, presiding at
