age to wade the snow and take q
walk through the Cuyahoga river
glens those days are well repaid for
the effort if they admire odd Ice for
nations. Among the pretty sights the
glens afford this winter is a solid col
,umn Of ice several feet thick and IA
feet high. 1t was formed by the water
which flowed over ledge and stands
out clear Of the wall beside 1t. A
mass of ice weighing many tons has |
been formed by the spray at the Big |
Falls.
Canton seems to be a much more |
up-to-date place than Akron" said q
travelling man to an Akron citizen at
the Union depot this morning, while
waiting for a train. Canton?
should say not" was the answer.
Canton is about as big as our eastern
suburb which we call East Akron.
Business is so poor in Canton that
those of her tradcsmen who have the
time, are trying to locate in Akron.
The only thing running down there is
the workhouse and that is running in
debt. If any one ever approaches you
on the street and prates to you about
Canton, tell him he's crazy"
"O," said the travelling man.

A local minister, who is in charge
of church in a fashionable section
of the city, says he is gratified to OBJ
serve that the plain, old-fashioned
names are once more coming into
vogue. my attention has been called
to this in christening babies" he said
yesterday. "The facy names for girls
are now very seldom used. The
Marguerites, Maries, Babettes, May
belles-you know the style-have given
way to the good old names our mothers
and grandmothers used to bear. Still,
there may be danger In going to the
other extreme, although as yet there
has been no indication Of coupling two
names, such as Sarah Jane and Mary
Ann, which used to be done. But of
late great many girl babies have been
christened with such good old names
as Ruth, Martha, Maria, Jane, and the
like"
1t has become common practice to
grow boards on the faces of all candl-
dates for public office. A careful OBJ
server will notice, that wherever
there are n number of cards of the
candidates, some evil minded genius
has taken sharp pointed knife and
adorned the faces Of the aspirants
with set Of wind buffers. At the
Sheriff's office Mr.. Scott u. Kenfleld
has left number of cards bearing, In
one corner his portarit. These did moi
escape the whisker fiend. He made
an artistic job of it while he was al
1t. Recently an aged man, who knows
Kenneld, dropped into the Office ant
picked up one of the mutilated cards
There was s. D. with set of gray
wh!skers. After studying ever the
card for few moments the old mar
said "Why Kenfeld's father must bt
a candidate for Prosecutor. He looki
!, exactly like his son except for hi
whiskers"

spaniel, as closing yelp, said h
