A revival of religion is now in pro-
gress in the Christian Church 'ofEa-
ton, under the charge of its present
pastor, assisted by Rev. Coan, of Yell
low Springs. We hope to hear of a
good many of those. chaps who have
almost "sinned away their days of
grace" being brought down to the
mourner's bench and calling upon the
Lord to straighten them up and mend
their ways.

During the past year we have re-
ceived a liberal patronage, both of
subscriptions and advertisements, and
we hope and expect to begin the new
year with q large number of new sub
scribers. Let each one of our SUBJ
scribers try to impress upon the mind
of his neighbor the benefits to be de-
rived from reading his county paper
I-one that is published regular and
gives him all the local news-and
urge him to subscribe. Will you do
that much for us?

Definance has all organization
which would be a benefit and an ad-
vantage to every town. 1t is known
as the Grade Improvement Associa-
tion," and its object is to further and
assist in the location of manufacture
lug and other interests as will tend to
the prosperity ofthe town. Through
the effects of this association four
large manufactures have already been
established there. 1t would be a good
idea for Eaton to work up ON thing
of the kind during the present winter.

Remembering the poor in your
prayers may be an evidence of SYM
pathetic generosity, but to the poor it
lacks '.illin'" and don't reach their
hearts as well as a substantial remem-
brance in the shape of a load of wood
or a basket of provisions. a prayer
for the poor may add to tEcir spiritu-
al welfare, but it won't keep them
warm or relieve their hunger. When
a man is cold and hungry he is no
more susceptible to prayer than is o
Digger Indian. Therefore, send
around the load of fuel and a full bas-
ket of provisions, and let the prayer
follow, if you are punctilious on this
point.

The Bncyrus papers have adopted
the principle of hereafter charging
regular rates for all obituary and mar
riage notices, except the mere an
nouncement, and for the advertising
of all church festivals and exhibitions
where money is charged for the en-
tertainment. This is the correct
course, and will be so recognized by
all thoughtful people. Newspapers,
as a rule, devote hundreds of dollars
worth of advertising annually to diff
ferent enterprises, for which they ale
not even thanked, the parties asking
for it seeming to think it rather a IA
vor than otherwise to give The news
paper all opportunity to do the work
gratis.

A coos sobool Book.

We have recently examined a new school his
tory of the United States by Prof. J. e. Radpath.
II Is q marked improvement upon all similar
works we have yet seen, Ia the way ofmaps,
charts, illustrations and luminous text, and seer
tainly worthy of the great favor with which 1t Is
received by educators liz this and other States
where educational concerns are reg arded of prime
importance. Our examination confirms the fol-
lowing notice OF the work from the Philadelphia
Times, which W. commend to The perusal of every
reader OF this journal:
"a new Textbook which really contains more
accurate N presented III a clearer form
and with such helps for the student US to render
at once HE acquisition easier and the memory OF
the facts taught more enduring, shonld be heartily
welcomed as a boon. These conditions, it seems
t US, are fulfilled by the History of the United
States prepared for the use of schools by Prof.
John Clark Radpath.
"a distin tive fea ure of this wo; k is a series of
historical cbsrts, In which different ephochs or
periods are represented by different colors, and
progressive maps showing the history OF the origi-
nal colonies and acquired territories, and their
development and division into States of the In
ion. The author has evidently bestowed a great
deal of study upon his subject. and the result is an
accuracy and carefulness of statement seldom

and unity of plan which could only have emana-

the nation'S history are boldly outlined, while cpl
sodes, personal narratives and other subordinate
events are s~iiIlfnlly introduced so as not lie mar
the chronological ard geographical system OF the
work.
"The author never, even for a moment. drops
the role OF tie historian for that OF the partisan,
but whatever may be- his own opinions and pre-
judices he has so perfectly concealed them thai
