invent a pair of linen brooches tina
button on around the neck and havt
arm holes.
1t has been suggested that in re
modelling our Hall, the seats be ele
waited so that the al occupants may
be able to see over the double-story
fower-pot head-gearing, now worn
by the female creation. We second
it. Next.
You cannot plant cats any too early
nor is it possible to get too many o.
them in a hill. You may not raise
anything where the cat is planted, but
the cat will not raise anything either
and that is where the enormous prof
comes in.
It's interesting to sit in afour store
now as the proprietor receives a dis
patch, and yells: "They're a THROWN
shells across Grassacoralitchzefinva
rina, an some one is going to gel
hurt. Turn out all hands and mark
every DANCED bar1 up a dollar"
Why do the pious ministers wantto
stop our citizens from visiting the
Cemetery on the Sabbath? What
other time has hundreds who have
friends in that "silent resting place
for the dead" to visit their graves and
drop the pensive tear over them, ex-
cept on the Sabbath?
1t will not be long nov until you
see q sun-browned man with a SLOUGH
hat, and with the ends of his fingers
turned down, as if he imagined him
selfabout to strike the keys ola piano.
He is not a pianist; he is a base ball
player, and his fingers will always
stay that way.
The Eaton Dramatic Club will give
an entertainment at the city Hall,
Friday and Saturday evenings. The
play selected is Lady Audley's Secret,
a dramatization of one of Miss NJ. E.
Braddon's most popular novels, and
will conclude with a laughable farce,
"Betsy Baker"
War maps are as abundant as leaves
in autumn, and after studying II fif-
teen minutes, and attempting to pro
nounce the jaw breaking names, a
fellow feels that life is a burden, and
goes home and raises Cain with his
wife for trading off his last summers
pants for a plaster paris image.
We had our palate tickled one day
last week through the kindness of
Cap. WILSON, who dropped into our
empty larder a fresh mackerel, a quail
ity of fish we never before seen in
Eaton. They were shipped here from
the popular house of our old friend
L. c. HOPKINS, of fish and oyster
fame, and who can always be found
at No. 264 West 9Th Street, Cincinnati.
A large meeting of the friends of
the Murphy movement was held in
the city Hall on Monday evening last
and addressed by JAS. A. GILMORE,
ESQ.,, and others. One hundred and
ninety-seven was announced as the
number that enlisted in the cause.
A meeting will be held on Wednes-
day evening at the Presbyterian
church, and another one in the city
Hall on Monday evening next.
In selecting flour first look to the
color. fit is white with a yellowish
straw colored tint, buy it. Ifit is
white with a blush cast, or with white
specks in it, refuse it. Second, exam
inc its adhesiveness-wet and knead
a little of it between your fingers; if
it works soft and sticky, it is poor.
Third, throw a little lump of dried
-four against a smooth surface; fit
falls like powder it is bad. Fourth,
squeeze the flour tightly in your
hand; if it returns the shape given by
the pressure, that, too, is a good sign.
1t is safe to buy flour that will stand
all these tests. These modes are Civ
en- by all our flour dealers, and they
pertain to a matter that concerns
everybody-the staff of life.
The Concert given by Mrs. r. W.
R1cHEY and her assistants in the city
Hall last Friday evening, was a sue
cess and a grand affair, and all u 5
tanned themselves in the reputation
that preceded them, of being among
the best musical talent in the country.
The instrumental music by Mr.. LIE
vAssoR, we have heard spoken of in
the highest terms of praise. Of Mrs.
RIcHEY we will not speak, her talent
and success is so well known here in
her home, as to need no comment, and
the applause she received at her ap-
pearance and in all her efforts on this
occasion from the large and select
audience, was the best possible evil
dence of how fully she is appreciated.
She now ranks as the "Jenny Lind"
of America.
We have received a copy of San ap-
peal to the clergy and laity of the
christian church in Ohio" with a re-
quest to publish the same. We are
sorry we cannot comply with the in
vitation at present. 1t pleads for the
ministers to go into the fight against
King Alcohol and make it a church
matter, but in this we would dissent,
for just a. soon as this temperance
movement gets into the churches and
is controlled and ruled by the clergy,
