"The Missouri Girl" is comedy
drama that produces more genu-
inc hearty laughter than any
thing yet written. In connection
with the strong and interesting
plot it contains the most ludicrous
situations over conceivod. The
company presenting the play this
season is composed of some of the
best known people in the theatre
cal profession, who are fully able
to extract this fun and deal it out
to the public in a most satisfacto-
ry manner. Nine of the old favor
ties remain in the cast; some of
them have played their respectives
roles continuously for eight sea-
sons. this guarantees a first-class
performance. The new people
added for this season were selected
for their pecaliarftness for the roles
they are to assume and it is safe
to predict that "a better than ever"
line can safely be added to the ad.

Good Bit of Road Grading.

Three-quarters of a mile of road
from the railroad track west of town
to the school house west Of the Aikens
restdence has been graded up in ex-
cellent shape by r~oad-overseer Braith-
waite. That was a bad bit Of road af-
ter a heavy rain, as the center OF the
highway in many places was lower
than the ditch which was supposed to
carry the water into a branch of Beav-
er creek at the east or west end. 1t
was nothing better than a mud hole
and almost impossible at times. The
recent grading was we'll done and the
ditch on either side is deep enough to
carry all the water off quickly, and
Overseer Braithwaite is entitled to
much credit for the excellent work
performed.
The road from the school house to
the Minor hill should be graded this
fall by all means. 1t is of vital i'm
pOrtance to Canton as we'll as to the
travelling public. If the township can
do no more the good roads committee
should take it in hand and see that it
Is done. About one Thousand dollars
was subscribed by the citizens last
spring and this fund can be collected
and some of it used. Every man who

upon. DR.. Wendt is chairman of the
good roads committee and upon his
shoulders rests the responsibility for
action. Get your your committee to-
gether Doctor and put a ditcher at
work before a freeze up. There is no
time to lose. Winter will be upon us
soon and when it comes there will be
nothing to do but wait for another
season, and waiting kills confidence
and a desire to DO things. Work
brings results and results will produce
further enterprise which will lead to
road drags in every township.
Canton, as a progressive business
center, can not afford to have mud
holes for roads on the outskirts Of the
town. The time for work is now.
Next year we hope to see other i'm
p~rove:nents made. We can't get
everything done in a year, and by and
by we will wonder how we ever got
