The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1877-04-05

Wanted to rent-that portion of
Barron street between city Hall and
post-office for citizens to stand in a
few hours during rainy nights while
the P. NJ. distributes the mail. Rent
to be paid quarterly by Uncle Sam.
The marshal should attend to the
blockade of the sidewalk in front of
the post-ofice during the opening of
the evening mail. One lady had her
trail badly damaged the other evening
and another was jostled into the gut
ter. 1t is a nuisance and should be
abated.
The latest thing out are "mum" par
ties, where those assembled may nod,
wink, blink, grimace, beckon, point,
pinch, motion, punch, cough, sneeze,
whistle, dance, eat, drink, go to sleep,
or indulge in pantomine; but whoev-
err forgets and speaks, pays two shil-
llnSS 10 u poor lunu.
This is a very good time to trans
plant shade trees if you want to have
them grow. Where trees are insight
ly and worthless, cut them down and
start new ones in their stead. By so
doing You will enhance the value of
your property and help the looks of
the town.
If you know anything that we don't
know, which the people ought to
know, if it is worth knowing, don't
you know that it is your duty to let us
know it, that the people may also
know what you know that we ought
to know, but don't know because you
know you won't let us know.
A woman is either worth a great
deal or nothing. Ifgood for nothing,
she is not worth getting jealous for;
if size be a true woman, she will give
no cause for jealousy. A man is a
brute to be jealous of a good woman
"a fool.to be jealous of a worthless
one; but double d-n fool to cut his
throat for either of them.
Some unregenerated cuss, not hav-
ing the fear of the devil about him
or anxious to furnish an item for the
newspapers, started a report last week
that Mr.. Cassell had committed sui
eide. Now, John is too happy a man
to even think of such foolish business,
besides he amt half done making CT
der for the people of this county.
HENRY Shirley, living north of
died very suddenly on Sunday
night last from inflammation of the
stomach. He was in Eaton on Satur-
day well and hearty. Truly, in the
''midst of life we are in DEATH" lie
a good, quiet and moral young
man, and his sudden death is much to
be regretted by all his neighbors and
A tramp was put into the calaboose
the other evening and Immediately
proceeded to break up the chairs
and build a fire OIL the floor. His
work was discovered before much
was done. This dead fall is
Immediately under the stageing and
stairway of our "showy city Hail."
and gives a fine opportunity for an
audience to be cremated some night
just such a freak of some devil
in it.
Our merchants are displaying gar
den seeds and onion sets in front of
their places of business. Such things
make a fellow feel that the garden sass
of life is near at hand again.
We welcome its coming, it will give
such healthfui employment to our la
dies, and the husband can calmly sit
upon the fence and enjoy the sight of
their wives happiness, while turning
the rich, mellow soil. By all means
let gardening commence!
mo sTREET.TAXEs THIS YEAR" we
believe is the general demand of a
large majority of the taxpayers ofthe
Corporation of Eaton. We are all
compelled to economic in our do
nestle affairs, and why not in our tax
cs? There was levied last year ST.
900 for street purposes, and our streets
are in a tolerable fair condition and
the two days required by the State
law viii keep them in good repair for
a year or two, or until the times get
better. Our taxes r too high, and
the new Council should let the street
levy go by for the present.
Are your deeds recorded? There
are many deeds in the county that
never been put upon the records.
There is a law upon the Statute of
this State which requires that all deeds
must be recorded. Few people stop
to think what trouble may be hang
ing over them in consequence of q
noncompliance with the law. Ifany
of our readers who have deeds or
mortgages in their possession, that
have not been placed upon the record,
will take the trouble to look up the
law above referred to, we are certain
they will never rest until they have
their papers in the hands of
the County Recorder.
The advance of Spring with its
warmer airs and brighter days is
and real. The sun gets up
early in the morning now-early, that
is, in comparison to his belated ap-
pearance at Christmas time-appear-
ing as early as six and he fingers and
