Holiday business in Canton has brok-
en- all records. There is scarcely mcr-
chant who will not say that his sales
have so far eclipsed those OF any pre-
vious year. Money has been plentiful
and has been spent with prodigality.
A better grade of goods has been pur-
chased in all lines and the better class
of stores has been getting the lions
share of the patronage. 1t is also a
significant fact that the merchants who
have been doing the heaviest holiday
advertising are the ones, who may
now gaze with satisfaction upon ple-
thoric pocketbooks and atfiuent bank
books.

Columbus, Dec "a. - Secretary OF

in the code. No provision is made Tor

new law in cities without registration.
In such municipalities, the elections
are under the control of the deputy

UNFAIRLY or upon petition Of the
electors, rearrange the voting pre-
cincts provided that over 400 votes
have been cast in the ward. AS II
will be impossible to ascertain wheth-
er there are the required number OF
votes before the election is held, II
will be readily seen the board has nc
legal authority to change the precincts
for the first election. Mr.. Laylin does
not regard the commission as serious
He apprehends no trouble in conse-
