NE OF THE MOST CRY
ING needs of Cantons so.
~ cial world this winter Will
be a suitable hall in which
~ to hold their festivities.
Schlitz hall, where the
balls Of the past two years have been
held has again been turned over 10
the use for which it was originally
built and Is now occupied as a music
hall. 1t seems the fate of the Assem-
bly, to be constantly hunting home
for their dances, for just when they
seem accustomed to going to a GER
tain place the hall is taken up for an
other purpose. About twelve years
ago the dances were held in Maline's
hall until the masons bought the build
ing for their use, after that they were
held in the Wernet block, but in few
years it was taken for a court room
during the building of the new court
house. From Wernets they went TO
the Martin where they danced until a
business college rented the hall. At
last Balser's Music hall was sold and
turned, into an excellent ball rooom
where the Assembly thought itself set
tied for years to come, but this spring
II was again rented for a music hall
and once more the dancers des-
pair. Prof. Morris Johnson as yet has
no place for his dancing schools and
1t seems as IL 1t would be good in
vestment for some one to erect a
building with a fine ball room in 1t.
The new Hurford house builders ought
to consider the thought but in the
meantime what are the dancers to do?

The summer days will soon be over
and then every person will be wonder-
ing why 1t never occurred to him to
do this or that, 60 here or there or
why he did not make more use of the
pretty days for some little jaunt or
excursion. A summer in Canton Is
particularly full of outdoor pleasures
| for there are quite number of near
| by lakes that one can go to at almost
a minutes notice.
! Small picnics are SO little trouble
and such fun that we ought to go to
more of them. Not out to the lake,
where everyone else goes, but to some
shady spot along one of the streams
that encircle Canton. One of the
best kind of a picnic Is the corn
roast" where everybody helps build
the fire and lends a hand to the cook
/ ing. How good things taste cooked In
the open air Potatoes and onions
roasted In hot ashes. ham and eggs
cooked in pan propped up by stones,
| hot coffee and corn roasted in husks.
Or If one prefers to take several
chafing dishes for a rarebit or fancier
| hxr hn
per Is ready, fingers are
| burnt and some unlimited crick-
cts and bugs think them
selves quite necessary for the comfort
of the party. Nevertheless the trials
of picnic ares among its chief pleas
ures, After Supper. II the evening
grows cool, hove 5elly@it is to sit round
the blazing fire, tell stories and watch
the beautiful colors Of the sunset sky
melt into the haze Of the coming
night. ~
A large contingent of young people
will leave in few weeks for col
leges and boarding schools and their
absence will be greatly noticed by
their many friends.
