When you hear a man running,
down his county paper, it is safe to
conclude hat he has been compelled
by law to pay the publisher a debt ;
that he can't read that he spends his
money for bad whisky and don't take
any paper; that he wanted the paper
for fifty cents less than the regular
subscription that he is a candidate
for some Office and may gain a vote
by abusing the editor; that he knows
about as much about publishing a pa
per, and the cost, as a hog does about
Sunday; or that newspapers are a
humbug, anyhow" in his opinion.

MI. Brook stated that he owns a
Mill at Vienna, and should he come
would expect to move his machinery
here. Mr.. Frazer was here in the in
terest of a party at Germantown, and
not to make any proposition. Some
suggestions were made by Messrs.
Gable, Holdcrman, Minor and Acton,
as to what the Mill should be and the
certainty of it being made a paying
enterprise. Judge Haines gave his
views as to the advantages such a
construction would have here, especi7
ally after the building of the L. L. E.
& S. w. r. r. giving Us the best of
Markets for our flour, and the best
and cheapest of coal for fuel. The
meeting then adjourned ma PROPOSE

TO ALL

Friends!
Democrats @
Liberal Republicans!
I WorkingnIen
AS the editor of the EATON DEMO
Graf, we have succeeded in firmly es-
tablishing this paper in the County of
Preble, devoted to the cause of the
people, right, liberty, honesty, protec-
ton to labor, taxation Of idle wealth,
death to all Mobilier thieves, a better
and cheaper government, and the adj
vancement of the interests of all men
and women who live by industry, re-
CARELESS of nationality, politics or re-
ligion, and we have the largest circu-
latiou of any Democratic pap ever
published i'll Eaton, but we want more
subscribers, and ask our friends, and
all who are interested in the great
work we are helping others to carry
on, to aid us in extending the circula-
ton of the DEMOCRAT. We want q
list of one thons sand, and we are de-
termined to have it. The work in
which we are engaged is the one to
which we are 5devoting an entire life
time. The interests we advance are
those of the people. The cause we
help is that of honesty, sobriety, lib.
crafty and enterprise, combined with
the greatest good to the greatest num-
Der. The ones we help are the ear
nest, deserving, industrious toilers
and workers everywhere, and especi-
ally those who are struggling to plan
and make for themselves homes and
happiness.
I The coming year, the DEMOCRAT
viii be alive, and well laden with in
teresting reading matter. In politics,
will stand for the right in the future
as in the past, nc matter what opin
ions other men, or other papers, or
other editors may have. From the
bold and fearless advocacy of princi.
Piles we believe to be right, liberal
and progressive, there win be no
unfiincbing or deviation.
Our editorials and comments will
be earnest, pointed, positive, and de-
'termined--in favor of an honest gov
iernment by and for the people, for
their benefit rather than for the en-
'richment of thieves of the Mobilier
stripe, nc matter what party they be-
long. In conclusions, send US your
names, and we promise you the most
readable county paper in the State

Go straight on, and don't mind your

walk round them regardless of their

was surrounded by enemies, used to
remark: .'They are sparks which, if
you do not blow, will go out OF them

the Iron Dukes motto. Let this be
your feeling while en~deavoring to
live down the scandal of those who
are bitter against you. If you stop to
dispute, you do but as they desire,
and open the way for nor abuse
Let the poor fellow talk-there will
be a reaction if you but perform your
duty; and hundreds who were once
alienated from you will flock to you,

Our Constitutional Convention is
too grave and important a matter to
be joked about, therefore we think
the person who proposed the names
of Messrs. Aker and Freeman, in the
last REGISTER, as representatives from
this county, should turn his attention
in some other direction, if he wants
to be jockular. It is strange how
some individuals will turn everything
into lcvity!

The Nau yarklLifa Insurance Co

BY the twenty-cighth annual state
ment of this great company it is shown
that it's progress has been unfettered by
adverse times, ard that it continues to
be largely p~atronized by those most anx-
ious to place the security and guardian
ship of their families beyond the slia-
dow of a doubt. In the course Of the
year ending January l, 1873, $3,OOO,00O
have been added to its assets, and DIR
ing that period $50 policies were eff
fected, insufing the sum of S27 ,O96, 273.-
81. It's annual premium income is &c.
3O3, 10000, and its annual interest i'll
come 81 ,206, 506.43. This company has
earned the reputation of being Gle Of
the most liberal in the States, its poll
cies being purged of those conditions as
far as possible which are so frequently
the cause of litigation. At h same
time, it is conducted with the care,
economy, integrity, and ability which
secures to the insured every indulgence
that an institution of benevolence found
ed upon tile basis of self-sustainmcnt
can possibly permit. The high charac-
ter and great prosperity of the company
has been attained under b Incumbent
management, through whose indefIti-
gable labors the monetary status OF the
corporation has been more than quad
rupled. att

we are VIKING 10 puDilSl inc he-
ports of this Society, and other mat
tiers of the kind, provided they are
furnished to us SO they can appear the
same week with the Eaton Register.
We don't like to publish secondhand
articles of a Local bearing. If the old
"stick in the mud" concern can't dis
dispose of two pages of manuscript
under FOUR days, bring it to the Dem
ocrat Office first, and we will agree to
do it in that many hours. We want
all such matter in not later than Mon
day, as forms are made up ON
Tuesday. We hope there will be no
necessity to allude to matters of this
kind again.
One of the secrets of Unsuccessful Jour-
nalism, in these progressive days, is
to. give no more extended notice to
matters than persons Interested in
them can find time to read. There
are very few men who have either
the time OF the patience to wade
through a column of printed matter,
liz S40old1OO VI Mn1CA OOu1d NC SdtlS-
factorily presented in one-fourth the
space If the matter Immediately
concerns his pocket a man might do
SO, but even then it would be under
protest. He naturally seeks the pa
per that avoids prolix articles,
and avoids those whose editors
and reporters are all the time
writing against column space. The
days of long winded journalism are
overpast. Brisk, spicy photographic
articles on all subjects that will posi-
bly, bear such pruning, are what the
people want, and hence it is that so
many of the oFdfasllion Journals have
died. OF are dying out simply from
the enormously heavy pressure of
their own columns. It is safe to as
sert that no more than one in ten of
the mass of newspaper readers thinks
of residing the long, laboeed, wordy
articles, paraded with so much pomp
in some ofthe blanket sheets of the
day. Cut UP into three OF four scrip
articles the same amount of matter
would be read and the readers would
receive triple OF q%uadrdpIe the benefit.
