One of the Geuuga county papers,
commenting upon the close of the

rarity.

sued sworn statement to the effect
that the population of that city eX-

newspapers are mad because Akron
isn't crying fraud. Leave mat to Can

expansion that there's no time left for
knocking against its neighbors.
The highest record for marriage
licenses in Summit county for a sin

Last year on the day before Thanks
giving u were issued, but yesterday
there were 26. This meant $19.25
for the Probate office, to say nothing

The pachydermal hide of the Mans
field Shield is still unpierced by the
shafts of Its contemporaries who ever
ana anon have cried out in disgust
against the Shields persistent display
of dependency on them for something
bright with which to trim Its pages,

with terrific force. 1t stole from the
Democrat story about government
report books at rhc Court House

article. BY the story, as reprinted
