1t is said there is something noble

isn't an editor in Ohio who doesn't
feel himself loaded to the muzzle with
laurels of this glorious but inconyeni-
ent character.
The circus proprietors are making
active preparations for an early start
this year. There. will be six shows

NUNS, Forepaugh's, the London,

Ifthe Murphys want to preserve
their organization, we advise them to
"bounce" the chaps who have gone
in it simply to use it for political pur-
poses. That there i some who have
done so, is now very patent to the
careful observer.
The average christian can frame
more excuses for not doing his duty

People make a great mistake about
heaven. They think it begins up
but it really begins down
here. If you can be happy in the

But if you whine and moan here,
heaven itself can not change your
mood.
For a Trade dollar, a Mexican dol

If the old legend which says, eff
March comes in like alamb it will go
out like a Honor vice versa-holds
good, look out for a very ferocious
lion in a few days. More lamb-like
weather than that which has signal
lied the approach IF the stormy
month this season, is rarely expert
enced in this latitude.
Some Democrats are disposed to
of paying $l.50 per year for
their paper. There are but few pa
pers in Ohio the size of the DEMO
Graf but what charge $500, and when
the Democrats of Preble county get so
internal penurious or poor, to pay

From all accounts it would be well
