While mothers are muffling up the

the approach of cold weather, they
should not neglect the exposed limbs,
that are protected by nothing more
than a thin stocking.
Marshal RYAN arrested a couple of
larks OIL Saturday last, who were full
of crooked whisky 'and drove against
a buggy oyerturning it with slight
damage. They adjusted the injury,
and after a short Incarceration in our
Calaboose, were discharged with the
injunction, "go and sin no more"

We don't believe so much in "centen-

cult, buttermilk aud such, but "cen-
tennial sour mash" sounds better.
For the benefit of those who are in
the habit of placing stamps ON vari-
Gus parts of an envelope, we would
state that the Department has ordered
all letters to be sent to the Dead Let
ter Office which have not stamps on
the proper place-the right hand cor
ner. The law appears to be rather
stringent, but it is q law nevertheless.
A matrimonial wave seems passing
over our section, inasmuch as large
numbers of our young men and maid

soon we will be compelled to seek

The indications are that the small
pox will be in Eaton, as it now pre-
walls largely in Cincinnati, Hamilton,
Dayton and elsewhere. Thorough
preparation by vaccination, cleanli-
ness and other simple precautions
should be made by every one. It
costs but little, and should not be neg

Fifteen years ago, sauer kraut WAS
genera ly regarded as a most indigest-
ible and unwholesome article of diet,
and many persons could as readily |
have been prevailed upon to eat oys-
ter shells as that unsaVory preparation
of cabbage. But time and experience
demonstrated hat these were mistak-
ell impressions. Well cured and well
cooked sauer kraut is wholesome, nu-
tritious and digestible, and instead of
being tabooci as formerly, it has be-
come a favorite dish upon our most
fashionable tables. AS a lunch at
hotels, ETC., it holds the first rank.
The only objection to it is that in
cooking it fills the house with q most
noisome smell.
