The Eaton Democrat from Eaton, Ohio • Page 3

IV1. 7, 1884. Thumday, LOCAL DEPARTMENT. Rain in abundance. Wendell Thillips is dead.

Look out for diphtheria now. Get ready for sugar making. Our county jail is now m. t. The January thaw was on time.

Wheat looks well in Preble county. Commissioners in session this week. Next Thursday is St. Valentine's day. Lent will begin the 27th of this month.

A backward spring is predicted so is a forward one. Spring bonnets are already being discussed. Everybody seems to be selling out this year. Small pox is appearing in many towns around us. Fox drives are in order now.

Capt. John P. Acton do you hear? One Chicago church choir soprano gets $2,200 a year. "Cane-nibblers" is the latest sarcastic name for dudes. One of the doorkeepers at Washington is named Moonlight.

It a proverb that there are always good crops after plenty of snow. Eggs still continue to be a delicacy in our local market. A Celina hunter recently caught a four- eared rabbit. Eggs still keep at 30 cents per dozen and scarce Don't fail to see Claire Scott play at the Opera House, Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings. David Sufifrins, a former and well known citizen of Eaton, died in Muncie, last week.

Sixteen Eaton young men filed thro' our streets last Sunday morning on horseback. Pleasant recreation. Congress has given notice to all the world that the twisting of the tail of the American hog must be stopped. One of the easiest things in the world to do at a distance from the scene of action is to edit a live newspaper. Ground Hog day was a big one in Eaton.

The whole surrounding country seemed to be here to celebrate it Has any body heard the whistle of the Mackinaw locomotive in this neck of woods Mrs. Wm. Doyle of Kansas, is visiting her parents in Eaton, Mr. and Mrs. Jos.

Walters. Spencer Hunt has gone to Chicago to keep books in a Commission House. Society in Eaton will miss Spence. Valentines day and the 22d of February are the next great days in the calendar. That's the way we jog along.

Mr. Henry Huxley, of Eaton, who is down south this winter, has our thanks for late Alabama papers. The ground hog came out of a sausage mill last Saturday morning and seen his shadow A physician condemns the practice of making school children learn lessons at night. When the snow melted away it showed up to great advantage the ungainly ash heaps that had been accumulating during the winter. Oberlin College, usually known as "Saint's Rest," has students who steal, blaspheme, gamble and get drunk.

Too bad. "Drummers" are now making an onslaught on the merchants, and nearly talk some of them to death in their efforts to sell them a spring stock. WantedWashing and ironing and washing rough dry. The best of work at low prices. Call on Mrs.

Mehaffey, opposite Rehfuss' tannery. If the ground hog didn't come out and see his shadow last Saturday, it was because he was in some butcher's sausage mill. The day was beautifully clear. We do not sound a needless alarm when we tell you that the taint of scrofula is in your blood. Inherited or acquired, it is there, and Ayer's Sarsapa-rilla alone will effectually eradicate it.

The New Paris Mirror has passed into the hands of Chas. W. Bloom again. The first number indicates that it will be lively on all matters of general interest, and particularly on prohibition. The 97th birthday of uncle Job Jefferson was celebrated at his residence in Eaton, on Friday last, 25th of January.

The old gentleman is in remarkable good condition considering his age. Keep the money moving. Don't salt it away. Pay your debts as fast as you can. Have patience with one another.

Buy your goods of home merchants. Encourage home enterprise, and give your patronage to our own merchants. Color blindness now amply excuses a man for taking some other man's new hat in place of his own shabby head wear, while kleptomania can cover the multitudinous sins of the individual who never returns a borrowed book. No preventing providence, Rev. G.

Baughman will preach in the Baptist church on next Sunday at 2 o'clock m. The choir of Salem Ev. Lutheran Church at AVest Alexandria, led by Ed. Schlingman, will also b3 present. The Mackinaw railway is not located yet.

It can be brought to Eaton if. the proper effort is made for it. Put that down and don't forget it, and don't sit down and expect it to come without an effort and money Rev. W. II.

Orr began a series of meetings in the Christian church on Wednesday evening. Rev. C. J. Jones of Springfield, will be present on Mon day and continue throughout the meet ing.

The Knights of Honor of Eaton will give an entertainment at the Opera House this (Wednesday.) evening, the proceeds of which will be distributed a mong the r.eedy and deserving poor of Eaton. It is a worthy move and ought to be liberally patronized. The admis BioQ is only 15 cents and the exercises will be worth double the sum. So don't fail tn attend. An exchange says the minister who ties the connubial knot gets a fee varying from $2 to $50.

The lawyer who unties it charges from $10 to $500, which goes to show that everybody has to pay more to get out of tro ible than to get In to it. The capital Btock of the Preble County Bank has been increased from $100,000 to $125,000 making the capital and sur plus $145,000. Jos. V. Acton has bct added to the list of stock holders.

See change in the advertisement of the in stitution in another column. Every merchant and business man in Eaton ought to have his card in the lo cal papers and keep it there. Nothing gives a town more character abroad than well filled papers with advertisements of the business of the place. It indi cates live, go-a-head citizens. Let me see, said the young man Saturday evening as he was going home from his work, "my wages is $6.

I ken get a horse and buggy to-morrow and take my girl out ridin' for $4. That leaves $2. I can get along with $1 .50 for spendin' money and will have fifty cents for board. I'll go." A "masher" is said to be composed of the following ingredients Bi-carbonate of cheek, essence of gall, 560; nitrate of stare, tincture of conceit, 3.500; oxatate of collar, 230; acetate of toothpick shoes, 267 sulphate of smirk, 500; chloride of coat-tail, 002; cyanide of brain doubtful 001. Total, 20,000.

Hall's Vegetable Sicilian Hair Renew er imparts a fine gloss and freshness to the hair, and is highly recommended by physicians, clergymen and scientists as a preparation accomplishing wonderful results. It is a certain remedy for re moving dandruff, making the scalp white and clean, and restoring gray hair to its youthful color. It is time for the spring candidate to bob up. We have a Mayor, Marshal, Siveral Councilinen, Corporation Treasurer and School Board to elect. None of the offices pay very heavy, but there are always plenty of aspirants after them, fellows who have "axes to grind." Let us make no mistake this year.

Pay no attention to party in selecting them. Our Corporation taxes are entirely too high! An eminent medical man says that a great deal of harm is constantly done to the health of this and other communities from excessive use of sweets. It produ ces too much fat for the health. It causes indigestion, produces sour stomach, causes headaches and chronic congestion of the liver, is a great source of boils and pimples. Fat is not indicative of health.

It is a concomitant of a congested liver. Sweets become sour between the teeth ind decay them. A pleasant company of relatives and friends were entertained at the residence of uncle Joseph Walters on the evening of January 31st, in celebration of his82d birthday, Mr. Waltters on that day hav ing passed his blst mile-stone in the journey ot lite. Alter partaking of a bounteous spread and enjoying the hos pitalities of the host, the company dis persed wishing grandpap Walters many happy returns of the anniversary of his birthdav.

The smallest and meanest piece of vandalism perpetrated around here for a long time, was the sawing off at the root the wild grape vine that mado such a beautiful and pleasant harbor in front of Judge Chamber's residence and business room. The person who done the act could be hired to fire the home of his mother-in-law for a five cent drink of whisky Mr. Chambers would not have lost the vine for $50. Its pleasant shade will be very much missed this summer. Redaced rate tickets will be on sale at this office Feb.

11th to 23d, to Cincinnati and return, good until Feb. 25th, for use of persons wishing to attend the Opera Festival in Cincinnati. During this time Patti, Nillson, Terstoe, Yorke, Scalchi, Furch, Madi and other famous singers will take part in the opera. The fare will be 2c per mile each way with admission, $1.00, added, which admis sion coupon can be exchanged as part payment for a reserved seat if desired, at its face value, $1. W.

H. Glaxt, Agt. Mr. Lake's bondsmen are "kicking" and will make an effort to skin out paying the amount of his embezzlement. They have employed counsel for tha fight.

Of course the sum spread all over the county would be very small to each tax payer, but if the bond of Mr. Lake for the honest and faithful discharge of hi official trust was only straw, what about our other Count' officials? We some times think that it is not just the fair thing for communities to ask individuals to stand good for the men they put into places of honor and trust. Here is your chance to get a Solid Gold Watch and fine Roll Plated Chain and Charm. Every purchaser at Chas. Thum's clothing store to the amount of One Dollar or more, For Cash, will be given a ticket on the Gold Watch, Chain and Charm to be given away July 4th, 1884.

jan31-2 Men who go around whining over the prospect of West Alexandria getting the Mackinaw railway, and declaring that "Eaton is dead and ought to be fenced in, are simply idiots, and should pack their grip sacks and git out Suppose West Alexandria does succeed in getting the road that won't kill Eaton nor financially boom AVest Alexandria very much, but only prove that there are more live and liberal citizens in that enterprising little burg than in Eaton. The Court House and jail will remain in the same place, and the road is not located yet. There is no trouble to build a road on paper. Keep your shirts on. Claire Scott, supported by S.

K. Co-burn and Company, will entertain the citizens of Eaton at the Opera House, Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings of this week. The popular play "Lucretia Borgia" will be rendered on Thursday evening "Lady of Lyons" on Friday evening "Princess of Bagdad" and a laughable farce on Saturday evening. Matinee Saturday afternoon. Miss Claire Scott has a splendid reputation and has received popular testimonials and given the best of satisfaction wherever she has performed.

The citizens of Eaton should give her an enthusiastic reception and a crowded house every evening. It is no common company. Reserved seats for sale at Brook-ins' Drop Store. Public Sales.
