The Obligation !

The following is the form of the
obligation that is intended to be ad-
1ninistered to each voter at the Radi-
cal primary elections on the 10th inst.
1t was furnished US by a person-who
vouches for its having been drafted
at the last meeting of the "Rihg:"
"You and each of you, in the pre-
'sence Of Almighty God, our right
hand resting on this book, Supposed
to be a history of the Grant dynasty,)
and your lett pointing toward the
Guardians of this county, (each voting
precinct will be Furnished with an
electrotyped group Of the immacu-
latest III token OF your sincerity and
love for your Guardians, do soleihnly
promise and swear that you will vote
for and support Grant and Wilson /;
the Republican State ticket the coun-
ty nominees; the Eaton Register and
the "Ring," eve thoigh it should
conflict with your personal preference;
and you further more promise and
declare that you VIII not give your
vote or influence for a democratic
county candidate, or refuse to endorse
the nominees, even though they are
the favorites of the Guardians and the
"Ring." To all Of the foregoing you
bind yourself, under the no less pen
atty than that of iliheriting the eternal
d~ispleasure of the HRing" and the
Guardians of this county and being
expelled from the party, and having
your name posted throughout the
county as a periurer and atraitor to
the Ring and the Guardians, and
being unfit to be trusted or supported
for any public position and totally
unworthy the confidence of the Ring,
and toward whom the finger of scorn
should ever be pointed" So help
you God. sasaa .-r

Radical Congressional Delegates.

The Radical primary election for
Congressional delegates came off in
this county on Saturday. last. But
little interest outside ofthe "Ring" was
manifested in this township, and we
presume it was so all over the county.
There were barely votes enough poll
ed here to establish the fact of an cleo
ton. The 'Ring" had done the work
before hand so as to pre7ent this coun-
ty from sending a solid delegation for
Mr.. Brooke, and why they were so
opposed to the only favorable chance
this county has had for years of hav-
ing a candidate. is only known to the
few They succeeded well in divid-
ing this county. It stands TWELVE
for Brooke, and TWELVE for Gunckel.
OF course this lays the Preble county
candidate on the shelve, and ensures
the nomination of MI. GunckeI, I'm ,
less the ~"bafgain and sale" made be-
tween the Brooke and Allen men can
be carried out. MI. Brooke claims he
has spent already about $4,000,
and been poorly ,rehdfnerated, and
will now Close his purse strings
If we estoz be represented in this
District by a Radical, we would soon
er it was Charley Brooke than ''fany
other man." but we were satisfied
weeks ago that his. chances were very
slim, because it was certain that his
own county would be partially against
him and because the "Ring" is i'm
maculate. All right, gentlemen, trot
out your Gunckel, wen put a n a ON
the track that will distance him about
800 votes in the race.

inveiglcd a sailor named Langton
into a low street in London and

the whole time he screamed and

4 Very Good Compost.

4 very good f"rtilizing compost
is manufactured by using the tol-
lowing substances according to The
directions given. The mixture
has been called "Liehig's great fer
tilizer,' as it is stated it originated
with him. This is doubtful, but
it is a very judicious and sensible
combination nevertheless, easy to
prepare and cheap. It will prove
serviccable for corn. wheat and
the other cereal grains, and also
for grapes.
This amount will do well, ap-
piled to one or two acres and it will
cost far from SO:
l. Dry peat, twenty bushels.
2. Unlcacbed ashes three bush

3. Fine bone dust, three bush

4. Calcined plaster, three bush

5. Nitrate of soda, forty pounds.
6. SuIphate Of ammonia, thirty
three pounds.

To Raise a Good Crop Of
Wheat.

Il have made up my mind Of
enc point" says the Deacon Ill
does not pay to SOW wheat anicSs
the ground is good order, and rich
enough to produce good crop"
food for the Deacon! | think
thousands Of farmers have had this
truth brought home 10 them by
the results Of the present wheat
harvest. The difference in the
crops on good and poor land was
never more striking. I saw wheat
to-day (JuIy 24th.) in field plant
Cd with applc-trees. Some ma
nnrc had been spread for two Of
three feet round each tree. Here
the wheat was four or five feet
high, the straw stiff and bright,
and the heads we'll filled. On the
the re-. OF the field the wheat was
not over eighteen inches high.
1t was thin on the ground, tie
straw fiimsy. and tn" heads empty.
1t would not ryicId five bushels per
acre, aud the wheat would be good
good nothing but chicken food.
have made up my mind to SOW
my wheat early this Fall, two
bushels TO the acre: and drilled in
p1ctty deep. Then as soon as it is
well out of the ground, | will har,
row it with Thomas harrow every
three or four days, TO see if can
not kill rcd-root and other weeds.
!Iarrowing in the Spring will not
kill the red-root plants. But III
tie Fall, just as the weed.seeds
terminate. | see no reason why
the harrow will not kill them.
At anv rate, mean to give it q
thorough trial, and | wish others
would test the matter.
We must do something to de-
Strov the weeds on our farms, and
VIC should try every method that
commcnds itself to our judgment.
The great aim should be to kill
them before they get to the sur
face, or soon af,cr as possible.

Good Walks Around Farm

There are too many in all sec

gIcctiny matters and things about
the dwellings and outbuiIdings
which may be called small COM
forts. In many cases they are
overlooked and are not considered
Of sufficient importance to deserve
attention, at least any special at
tcntion. Among these there Is
nothing that adds more, not mere
~ TO comfort and convenience but
TO the health Of the family, than
good walks about the house and
premises. We have known these
in many instances to be utterly
neglected. They are regarded as
good enough when the weather is
dry, and when the weather is wet
they cannot be made better. And
thus year after year the members
Of the family are left to wade
through mud to the COW stables,
hog pens, wood or coal shed. to
the pump or spring house, to the

any one: and you'll succeed five
thousand times better than one
who is always bescecLlng some
ones influence or patronage. No
one will ever help you as YOU can
help yourself, because no one will
be so heartily interested in Your
affairs. The first step will be
such a long one, perhaps ; but cary
ing your own way up the noun.
tain, you make each one lead to
another, and stand firm while you
chop still another out. Men who
have mad, fortunes are not those
who have had five thousand dol
lars given to them to start
with. but boys vino have start
cd fair with a welI-earned dol
lar or two. Men who have
acquired fame, have never heen
thrust into popularity by puffs
begged or paid for, or given
in friendly spirit. They have out
stretched their own hands and
touched the public heart. Men
who win love do their own woolng,
