The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1875-07-22

d%ulgenccs to its members TO commit
sin-and the Know-Nothing party
has granted indulgences to its cru
sading members to drink beer and
whisky till October 18th.
DIR. A. I'll. Stephens has added great
ly to the appearance of the business
house wherein is the office of the DE-
MoCEAr, by having the same adorned
with a new coat of paint. We hope
all our property owners may be slim
ulated by the Dr's. example.
The arctic soda water, with pure
fruit syrups, and the appetizing gin
ger ale, on draught at the Drug Store
of the Messrs. Michael, were scooped
up in immense draughts OH Saturday.
To the weary, fainting, foot-sorc cir
cus-gocr tho beer and soda proved
precious boons.
The fellow who has to fastcn a
death grip on his fair ones arm, willie
promenading the streets, in order to
stifTen himself up and prevent physi-
cal exhaustion, is not yet dead, but
for the sake of ordinary decency aud
good his early death would
be a sweet boon.
The 'bug juice" disposed ofon Sat-
urday last was of sufficient BODY to
tangle the legs of the drinkers, but
was so thoroughly saturated by the
late heavy rains, that in provoking
displays of b~olligerency it was not a
success. We fail to record a single
bloody snoot or broken pate.
More than two thousand persons
partook of the cool healing waters of
the White Sulphur Well on the Sat
urday of Barnum's great show. The
Circus and Menagerie pleased the
eyes and gratified the intelligenttaste
of our people, while the medicinal
waters contributed to their health and
comfort.
Fred. Michael, Esq, repudiates the
local in last weeks REGISTER on bal
looms. Fred. claims to be the finest
architect in western Ohio when it
comes to a pair of boots or shoes, and
can kill more quails with a rife than
any shot gun man in Preble county,
but he don't know, neither does he
want to know anything about; bal
looms.
Deem & Hubbell, on Thursday last,
sold all of the 16 Lots north Of the r.
r. These Lots had only been in the
market a short time, and the day of
sale was rainy, yet the Lots sold :like
hot cakes" at an average of $95,o0p per
Lot, of Il acre each. But a shortti time
since II. C. Hiestana, Esq, bought
these same lots at about 5000 each.
This shows that property in Eaton is
a paying investment.
Will some Conformation please rise
up and what's next on the program
We have done Bunker Hill and
the Fourth of July up brown, and are
ready to commemorate other deeds of
valor achieved by nrforefathers. We
had better put this Centennial bust
ness through in good shape and in a
we may be proud of, because
we may not live to celebrate the next
Centennial.
Ifthe business men OF Eaton, voting
the Radical ticket, and endorsing
Grant as a Capable and judicious
statesman" have what they believe
good grounds of complaint against a
federal office-holder, and the REGIS
TER refuses to publish their grievanc-
cs, as they aver, we have no advice to
give, and very little sympathy for
them. So long as they support incom-
potency and corruption at Washing
ton, they may look for imbecility at
home Your medium of complaint,
gentlemen, is through your party Or
CAN'T is not our fight.
'..-.- r...
The cheated term" has at last burst
ed upon us in dead earnest, if the FIX
perience of the past week is any cri-
terion upon which TO base an honest
opinion, and will, no doubt, bring
with it disease and death incident to
the season of wilted vegetables, green
fruit, %imprudent exposure to the rays
of a burning sun, filthy premises, and
reeking cutters. 1t, therefore, be-
hooves our citizens, to exercise every
precaution against disease by the re-
moval of every vestige of filth which
may have been allowed to accumulate
around and about their premises. Let
those filthy hog pens. and stink vaults,
the perfume of which again loudly
scents the air, also receive proper at
tention while you are adopting pre-
cautionary measures in this unhealthy
season of the year.
