tram OF cars, dresses Ill C"culcnnlAl
fashions, reads her Bible by tallow
dips and keeps warm by the side ola
monster fire. place. Sensible maiden.
The fellow who gets mad because
something appears in his home paper
that dan't suit his notion and orders
it stopped, can satisfy himself how it
will get along without his patronage
by sticking a cambria needle in a
miil-pond and then Withdrawing it
nd looking at the hole!
On Saturday last Shinn-William
ran his head against Dick Snyder's
bunch of fives. SEinns shin received
no injury, but Shinn's left pepper
went into full mourning and the san
guinafy fluid coursing down his check
gave him the appearance of a Piute
"injun" on an expedition for "skelps."
No arrests yet.
The union prayer meetings being
held in the city Hall for the past week
continue with undated tervor and
religious zeal. Numbers flock there
nightly to seek consolation from their
sins, and we believe the citizens Of
Eaton are fully awake to their wick
ed condition and are aroused to the
realization of the fact that something
must be done to be saved.
The Preble County Agricultural
Society had a meeting on Saturday
last and organized its new Board,
.clecting JOHN a. Kaylor, Esq, "a
Secretary, and w. e. NJ. Brookins,
Treasurer, for the ensuing year.. The
last ! tuesday, in September was agreed
upon as the first day of holding the
Fair. No other business of impor-
lance transacted.
On last Sabbath at 3 O'Clock, P. NJ,
Rev. 6. BAUGHMNN, pastor of the En-
glish lutheran Mission of this place,
delivered the first OF n series of dis
courses, which he proposes to deliver
III the city Hall on the Moral Law.
Divine service at the above place eve
~ Sabbath excepting the fourth, at 3
o'clock, P. NJ. He respectfully i'll
vitcs the public.
1t is estimated that about two-thirds
of the surface of the globe is covered
with water. Although millions of
creatures Stake their thirst daily, the
quantity Of water has not been mate
rally diminished for centuries, at least
not since the Introduction of drinking
saloons, which proves a great saving
of wafer and are thereby ofan inI-
mcnse benefit to navigation.
1t has been suggested that inasmuch
as the present years associations are
so intimately connected with the name
of George Washington, the central
figure of the revolution, the birthday
OF the immortal patriot should be OBJ
served in 4 manner indicative of our
love for his character, reverence for
his memory, and thanks for the sery-
ices which he rendered in behalf OF
freedom and justice. The centennial
year was usllercd in with rejoicing
and festivities, and it seems nothing
more than right that the day on which
our Washington had birth should al
so be properly observed.
So, after all il seems that this is 60
ing 10 be an easy winter for the poor.
There has been a decline in the price
of black braids; new dollar stores are
sp:inging up all over the land the
religious papers are offering every
encouragement in the way Of chromos
and AL imitation coral necklace can
be bought for a quarter. With the
necessities of life thus placed within
her reach, no true hearted woman will
complain Cfthe price ofcoal, or ofnOt
being able to get the wherewith to
patch up last winters flannel shirt.
The following item, written with a
pair of scissors, is very applicable
here just now Our exchanges all
ovcr the country are recording rob-
berries of private houses, and there is
much appearance of an organized
gang oil that line. For ordinary
thieves locks aud slight care arc suffi-
cient. To experts locks and common
precaution are scarcely an inconvcni-
ence or hindrance. Watchfulness is
the only remedy. Money in consid-
cradle sums should never be kept in
any private house. 1t is only tempta-
ton to robbery and murder. With
banks rs good as those of this place
there is neither occasion nor excuse
for keeping money locked up at homo,
or about The p rson.
