CHRISTMAS JOYS Fully Tasted by Thoso Who Observed the Holiday In This City. Tuesday was a morry Christmas In Canton. The observance of the great festival was a much happier event in this city than many localities enjoyed because privation, want and real wretchedness are things that are found only at rare intervals In Canton. For this reason Christmas happiness with out any harrowing thoughts of the want of others could be indulged in. The day was Ideal and many people of the city were absent with friends or relatives. The trolley cars run ning to and from Canton did a big business during the day carrying Christmas guests. Practically every place of business in the city was closed and the de lights of the Christmas board and Christmas gifts formed the only orig inal topic of conversation worth while.
