The roads are good.
Corn looks splendid.
The schools have closed.
Late apples may be plenty.
Dog fenncl will soon blossom.
Boys, you can go swimming now.
The potato bugs are plenty.
Candidates for office are on the
move.
The "meranda" is going up in front
of the Sherif's farm residence.
In about two years we think our
Town Clock will be on the go.
A strawberry festival would take
now. Who will try US.
There are eight saloons in Eaton.
One more than when the Crusade op-
ened, a little over a year ago.
The Court House square don't look
so "knobby" since the mound has
been removed, but it looks better.
A moderate use of strychnine will
prevent any dog from taking the ny
drophobia.
The nimrods are besieging the
woods after the frisky squirrel. Give
them a chance, boys.
The Court House yard will be pop
ular after while for able-bodied office
holders.
If there's an able-bodied man or
boy who has not been fishing, he
should go at once.
The young lady who mistook q
radish for a beet, will not do for a
Granger.
If the Pope was dead and Grant
would appoint all the rebel Generals
to office, the Republican party would
be out of capital.
The town of Eaton was full of peo-
pie on Saturday last, and a good many
got very full of the town before the
turn of Sunday morning.
The swallows would make good
Grant ofice-holders. They stick to
the Court House, and claim q life-lease
on its "chuncks of solid fat"
This is more like. summer, as the
man said when he had presented him
the bill of his wife's new bonnet, the
other day.
1t is gratifying to know that the
cold weather didn't kill the mosqui-
toes and that hey will soon be around
with their bills.
Insurance agents became SO plenty
around Eaton last week, that One was
compelled to take a room with the
Sheriff!

motto for the past week, and Ross
man s. Hambidge have filled the or
der.
Our young friend, j.. G. HUFFMAN,
ESD, of New Lexington, o., dropped
in our office on Monday last. He
speaks cheeringly ofthe political proc
pect in his part of the State.
No decoration observance in Eaton.
We hope that no brilliant luminary"
will rise up in our midst and say all
are fools for dispensing with this sa-
cred privilege. 1t would be sad.
The ice wagon is becoming popu-
lar. Its a cool thing. Its cooler to-
ward a person than a Grant Office
holder is to one who is opposed to
the third term.
Now we will hear everybody COM
plain of the hot weather. There is
plenty of ice in our village, and there
is no reason for not keeping cool at
the price it is offered.
1t is a cheerful sight to see a couple
of abla-bodicd men playing eroquet.
Such fellows generally allow their
mothers, wives or delicate sisters to
carry water and split kindling.
The Hayseed fraternity have not
been much around Eaton for the past
week. Reason-too busy working to
raise something TO feed the potato
bugs and grasshoppers.
The Eaton String Band has our
thanks for the excellent music they
discoursed in front of our residence
one night last week, Come again,
boys.
At certain seasons of the year, how
affectionate some people become for
the soldiers, and how sensitive about
any thing said that can be construed
against their honorable services. La

Judge Haines and Judge Campbell
attended the pioneer gatherings at
Monroe, Butler Co., and Chillicothe,
O., last week. Judge Haines made
an interesting speech at the Monroe
gathering.
The Eaton Brass Band treated our
citizens to a splendid serenade from
the Court House yard on Saturday
evening last. We hope to see this re-
peated frequently during the pleasant
summer evenings
A jealous editor growls out that
nowadays a dry goods clerk can
part his hair in the middle, sprinkle
his handkerchief with cologne, and
make a heavier spIurge on 81 per
week than a millionaire,
