was a mistake. | was not a member
of that committee and was not work

doing what ] thought was my duty as
a citizen. II Mr.. Clayton had been
robbed, as he claimed, it was the duty
of all good citizens to help run down
the guilty parties.

OPEN LELTERS
Editor News-Democrat:

Editor News-Democrat:
Having been reader of the Stark
County Democrat for nearly fifty years,
and of the News-Democrat since its
first publication want, through the
medium of the latter, to reply to an ar
ticle that was published short time
ago whose headlines were. WHAT
SHALL BE DONE WITH THE
HITCHING POSTS?
| wish to call the attention of your
readers to the question, of who made
Canton what it is today? Was it the
persons who gave their opinion on the
removal of the hitching posts in and
about the square, or was it the farm
ers who daily drove into town and did
their trading at the Oldest merchants
in early days? Go into an uptown
grocery any day and listen to the Can
ton housewives inquire have you any
good country butter?" =
Why should the merchants of Canton
ask for the removal of the hitching
posts, when their most reliable support
comes from the people who till the
soil? There are none of us who want
to stop a half dozen squares away from
where we do our trading and carry
our produce and then carry what
goods we buy that far before we can
place them in our buggy or wagon
and have to leave them at the mercy
Of the petty thief, who is always on
the lookout for Just such chance.
We could name to you county seat
not hundred miles away which passed
dn ordinance which compelled proper
ty owners to do away with the hitch
| ing pests, and the farmers and others
who drove into town were obliged TO
walk several blocks before they could
get to their grocery and dry goods
stores and other places of business.
|
trade to other towns, it kept many
persons away, who gave as their sole
and only reason that If we have TO
hitch our horses half way back home
and leave our conveyances that con-
tain what our produce and money has
bought to be plfered we will go else
where.
AS a final result the ordinance was
repulsed, the merchants regained tkiir
lost trade and wondered why they had
been so foolish as to listen to few,
whose aesthetic ilfaCtories were con-
taminated.
There are a great many other re-
forms that need the attention of our
city fathers which If looked after would
do more good to the general public
and to the merchant than the removal
OF few hitching posts.
We believe in equal rights and jus
tice To all and would kindly ask that
the question of removal be carefully
weighed and considered before any ac-
ton is token that may be regretted
when too late. Where / hitch there
do my dealing. And ! want to ask,
who pays the bulk of taxes in Stark
county? Is it the few merchants, who
first agitated this question or is it the
farmers? Hoping this will meet the
approval of the majority of Canton's
best business men ! beg leave to re-
main. Very truly yours,
A FARMER.

HIS TRUST.

He said ''if had money, +. lIla
I'd be happy every day i
Giving gladness to the orphans,
Driving poor mems woes away"
BY chance he won fortune;
Then he gravely shook his head,
Having ceased to think of orphans,
And with wise conviction said:
Wealth imposes care! My fortune
Is a trust consigned to me;
They are foolish, yea, and sinful,
Who distribute carelessly.
God has said that man must labor;
When you give, ambition dies.
Go, you beggars! Cease imploring;
] am weary OF your cries"
