overcomes that unpleasant necessity
of being compelled to go often dur

firms in both Massillon and Canton
neither of said cities would be as
large and prosperous as they are to-
day.
AS referred to In a former article,
the first start Canton got toward pros
perity and growth was the completion
of the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & Chica-
gan to come here and establish their
business. In the later years the elec.
trio railroads have also much to do
with the growth and prosperity of in
land cities and towns. In this respect
Canton is well in the fore front for
having electric railroads. Bat there
is one such road that we very much
need, and the people along the line
of this much needed electric railroad
need it as much as do we
We should have an electric road
running south through North Industry,
Howenstine and Sparta, and perhaps
on to Sandyville, and from there east
ward through Magnolia and on to
Waynesburg. This would open up
much territory that now is not having
electric lines, and the county and viii
lagos that would be reached are among
the best in Stark county. II would be
few miles farther in reaching Way
nesburg than to go over the more di-
rect, or hill route, but the grading and
work to construct road along the
route above referred to would cost
lesssto build, and at the same time ac-
mommodatela number of good towns
and villages that would be left out II

than to go over the hill to Waynes-
burg from Canton, as we are now COM
PEELED to do, or spend the best part of
a day by going around by the steam
cars, where change or cars and the
distance of route make 1t quite OBJ
jectionable for the citizens in Sandy
township, and for those living at the
county seat when they want to go
back and forth AS things now are,
Waynesburg and all of Sandy town
ship are not much nearer or easier of
access to the county seat than they
were before any railroads or electric
lines were established in the county;
and knowing these things to be so
we trust this matter will be agitated.
until 1t is accomplished, and that we
can say of Waynesburg and Sandy
township, the "old landmarks" In the
way of reaching our county seat have
passed away and we can now 60 to
Canton without change of cars, and at
a trifiing expense to what our present
conditions afford. This article may
be little out of the line of "old land
marks" but the necessity for having
closer communication with Waynes-
burg and Sandy township appears so
great that I have thus deviated. and
hope there may be a response from
the parties most interested in this
matter, and that before long we shall
have an electric line of railroad es-
tablished and completed in the direc-
tion referred to. These hints are
thrown out for the consideration Of
electric railway people. p

the road was made direct over the hill
route from Canton to Waynesburg
If this much needed electric railroad
were built in the near future we
would soon see that such line woulo
have all the traffic 1t could handle.
AS things now are, in time of bad
roads and unfavorable weather 1t is
almost impossible to get to Magnolia
and Waynesburg from Canton without
consuming a good part of day, and
the trip can hardly be made at all
under certain conditions Of bad roads.
With the above improvement, or
rather addition to our electric railway
system, all of Stark county could
reach the county seat quickly and
With very trifiing expense. And this
is what Is needed by the citizens along
the raste referred to, and what would
contribute to their facilities for get
ting to the county seat would also add
to the prosperity and growth of Can
ton, so that all parties concerned
should agitate the construction of such
line. Capitalists and railroad men
who are interested in these kinds OF
public improvements cannot fail, if
they Investigate this matter, to see
that here is an open field ior one OF
the best electric roads coming to Can
ton; and we have some of the best In
the state. But we need a road that
will reach Pike township. Magnolia
and Waynesburg, and there can be nc
doubt that such road would soon
have all the business it could handle
This certainly woul,l be much better

21.-(London Times. "A party of

river four miles south of Gyangtse ant

engagement, one. heavy mail bag was

OLD LANDMARKS NO. 96

Very few of our younger people of
years ago no reapers or mowers were
perfected, and that our wheat harvest
had to be taken off with the old
fashioned cradle and sickle; a very
slow and tiresome process when com.
pared with our modern reapers and
mowers. In those days when the
time for harvesting came, many of the
able bodied men, and boys from II
years old andaupwards, turned out to
help the farmers during the time
of harvest. | have quite a distinct
recollection Of those early days in our
country's history, having the marx

The introduction of reapers and
mowers throughout this region of
country was what made the success of
earlier history of Canton. Their
Buckeye reaper and mower soon OBJ
tain great reputation, and the de-
mand was beyond their ability to fill
for quite while. The same was true
in reference to the building of thresh-
ing machines in Massillon by G. B.
Russell & Co., who were the first
successful manufacturers of the cele-
brated Pitt threshing machines. Both
