LOCAL DEPARTMENT.
Be carefnl what YOU eat now.

A palm leaf fan is just as coonng
as an ivory one and costs less.
Any person having a baby wagon
for sale should call on Henry Hill.
There is a fine wheat crop in the
south this year, much of it harvested.
DR.. Thomas has moved into his fine
new residence on South Maple street.
Jacob Chambers is building a neat
residence on his lot, east of the NJ. E.
Church.
The speakers and musicians stand
in the public square is a thing ofbeau-
~. May it be a joy forever.
Every town where the Murphy
movement progressed has established
a reading room. Why don't Eaton ?
L. C. ABBOTT, Esq, has our thanks
for the very lengthy and correct Court
reports which appeared in the DEMO
Graf.
The editor is absent and the devil
has charge of the paper this week.
That's why it's red-hot and getting
hotter.
The Murphy movement is going to
make it easy on candidates. But
those who will drink, won't they live
fat?
Incorporate twaddle will not cure
any man of drinking too much, nei-
Their will incorporate preaching make
any person a christian.
Cucumbers are plenty-if you pep
per, vinegar and salt them well, and
then pitch them into yourswill barrel
there is no danger from them.
The question of a baby show at our
next Fair was laid I'VE until the next
meeting of the Board. There is some
thing wrong with a majority Of that
Board.
Talk to your neighbor about the
Fair this fall, and get him to assist
YOU in making it a success. Now is
the time for those having that object
in view to prepare.
The Murphy meeting at the Court
House last Sunday, was we'll attend
ed. The very clouds must be in sym
pathy with the movement, by the way
they furnished cold water.
A young man in town is afraid of
the wind and will not retire during q
storm. A bachelor friend advises
him to get married, and guarantees
that after two or three years of mar
ricd life, he won't be afraid of storms.
Wanted-Labor for the mechanics
gold with which to resume-chick-
ems for preachers-briefs for lawyers
-greenbacks for subscriptions at this
office, and blue ribbons for the coun
ty officers when they join the Muir
pheys.
Persons taking chattel mortgages
should bear in mind that it is now
necessary that they be recorded by
the Township Clerk or County Re-
corder, for which a fee of 40 cents
may be charged. To deposit them
merely, as heretofore, is not sufficient
to make them o lien.
The credit system is a great bore.
1t is a disastcrous and ruinous method
of doing business. 1t has done, and
always will do, largely more harm
than good. All classes of persons
should cry it down, and our business
men should stop it. The cash system
is the qsly safe plan. r..
What "they say" is beneath your
notice. What's the use of lying awake
of nights with the unkind remark of
some false friend running through
FOUR brain like forked lightning? If
what is said about you is true, set
yourself RICH. at once; lift is false,
let it go for what it will, until it dies
of inherent weakness.
How often, ali ! how often, signs an
exchange, we will find a man who
will pay eleven dollars for box of
cigars without a question or a mo-
ment's hesitation, who will contract
his brows and stare for ten straight
minutes at the item, "To one piece of
dress braid, ten CENTS" in a dry goods
bill that his trembling wife hands
HIN.
Although the Murpheys have cap
tured the Court House, it is said the
county officials have not donned the
eblue ribbon" They fear there are
votes on both sides of the fence, and
political courage and moral courage
are not the same, either in quantity
or quality. 1t is well known that
great reformers on either side vote
straight at u elections-hence &c.
This is a tough time for newspaper
men. Dead newspapers are found in
every direction the strongest must
economic, the weaker die. As for
us, we are wealthy. Our friends have
left us a fortune of $4,000, which we
are getting just as fast as we can earn
it by printing this paper; so We are
well heeled still, we are ready to re-
ceiye $L,50p per year in advance for
the. DEMOCRAT, though it does go a
gainst us to handle so small amount
of money, but notwithstanding We
Will never go into bankruptcy.
1t only costs $40 to shoot a Dutch
man in Eaton. If a man loads a gun,
- I-I.l.. s- lIAl.
