ED. DEMoCRAT-I have teen a con-
slant reader of your valuable paper for
several years, and seldom see a commu
nication from the north east part of the
county. Idon't propose to write about
the weather. hich l presume is at all
times about the same throughout Preble
county. We have a better prospect for
a wheat crop here than we have had for
the past two years, and a great many
of the farmer are flattering themselves
with the expectation of getting a fair
yield, notwithstanding the fact that the
freezing and thawing, during the month
of March, may yet cut it short. The
%whooping cough has made its appear
ance in our neighborhood, which has
caused the attendance of our school to
fall considerably below what it was du-
ring the earlier art OF the winter. Su-
gar making has been engaged in by a
few of the farmers that have sugar
camps, for the asst few weeks, and
some of our neighbors have made sew
eral gallons Of very fine molasses, also
a small amount of sugar. There have
been several transfers of real estate here
within the past few weeks, ranging in
price from fifty to sixty-fve dollars per
az re. The land sold is not of the best
quality, location not desirable, and i'm
provements very ordinary There has
been nothing of a criminal character
occurred here since the arrest and lodg-
ing in Jail of two individuals for steal
ing Mrs. Emma Gifford's tobacco, ex-
cepting an attempted assault upon w.
G. Smyer, a iew weeks ago, by n John
Lock, Cicero Splitter and Emanuel Spit.

men manifested ali intense excitement
and open alarm about the tobacco bust.

year ago he had, we are informed, de.

MAYOR MOORE has but few days
more IN which to make up his mind
whether to veto the advertising swindle
or by doing nothing let the act Of Coun-
ell, so far as he is concerned become a
law. Mayor Moore is not a bad man,
nor dishonest one, and we donot want
any reader of the STAR to get that opin-
ion Of him. He means right and would
like to protect the interest of the peo-
pie. But unfortunately he is not sup
piled with a very stiff spinal column.
The pressure upon him to do nothing is
heavy, for the ring papers have many
thousands of dollars at stake, and they
neither neglect their interests in
such matter themselves nor let
their friends do so. On the
other side it is only the interest of the
city and the taxpayers that is in jeop-
Rrdy, and there is no one who feels that
it is his business TO call upon the Mayor
and get others to call upon him to create
counter pressure, SO as TO strengthen
the Executive backbone. With this
state Of things we are inclined to believe
that the Mayor will not have the cour-
age to do his duty. For, besides the
papers to be benefited and the outside
tools they can muster, the men who have
already participated in the outrage are
anxious to see their course indorsed by
the Mayor, and they, too, or most OF
them, are, with the City Solicitor who
