vice and ample facilities. 1t is capably
edited and conducted and the business
men Of Defiance seem to appreciate the
management efforts, as the volume
of business carried clearly shows.

also opposed to change of fashion in
woman's dress. There is some talk G.;
having her come to Canton and post
! herself and her notice at the bank
corner on the public square.
There was great excitement in Ak
