Col. McDermott of the Rudolph

turnout that attracts more attention
and receives more compliments and
admiration than all the gasoline cars
in the city. First the horses they are
alive, and to say they belong to Mr..
McDermott is enough. They are
beauties, and Mao knows just how to
handle the reins to show them to best
advantage. Then he has hitched
them to the ~handsomest carriage that
ever turned wheels in Canton. 1t has
no superior anywhere. Luxury, COM

could enjoy it more than Mr.. Nc

words at such a time always fail to
tell all the heart would say. 1t was a
pleasant official parting which will
linger in the memory of all.
