JoUH ID. cUOCk HAS GGDuIlJ tHt lUlulud
ton of the Dunkard Church on Price
Greek, and put it upon a rock that tim,
nor storm will not wear away or shakC
down. Johns work is always perfec
and can be relied upon. Try him if yol
have any to be done.
No one but a base coward, whose black
heart is capable of any meanness, eve,
sneakingly disparages a fellow man be
hind his back, and all such human hye
mas who choose stealth to steal character
should be driven from the assemblies o.
high minded, honorable men.
On Monday August 18th, the Institute
commences. Upon the teachers depends
the success of the week. Supt. Richard
son, of Chillicothe, has had a vast expe.
rience in the work of conducting insti'
tutes, and will do his part well and with
the aid of our earnest teachers the insti-
tute will be a success.
We have now a colored "bloated bond
holder in this county. Mrs. Mariah
Baker, who domicils on the farm of Date
Kelly, received nearly 100000 of "back
pay" the other day for the loss of her
husband in the late war, and socked it
in government bonds. Let the American
Eagle now scream and the nation be
spelled with a big N.
We call attention to the social of the
Presbyterian chuach, which will be held
next Thursday evening, at Mr.. Roddy
Reynolds. The ladies know how to
make these socials entertaining, and no
doubt an attractive programme will be
presented. Let all friends of the various
churches, and our citizens generally at
tend these pleasant gatherings.
At the Council meeting last week a
new Board of Health was appointed,
composed of the following gentlemen
DIR. W. H. H. B. Minor, DIR. j. E. Welsh,
DIR. A. Stephens, M. L. Holt, ]. H. Zoos
and BENZ. Holman. There is some work
the Board could do Immediately that we
are satisfied would benefit the sanitary
condition of our town.
On Saturday last Albert Long, arrested
upon warrant sworn out by Harrison Will
kinson, charging him with petit larceny,
had a hearing before Mayor Abbott which
resulted in his acquittal. We are glad
of this, as we understand the defendant
is a poor boy, whose father is dead, and
we hope for his own sake he will main
tain a character for himself which will
be above even suspicion. .
Council met on Monday evening last
with a full attendance but little business
of importance before it. The only mat
tiers of interest done by this august and
indispensable body, was the issuing suffi-
cient amount OF orders to pay.of $500, 90
and interest of our bonds, and authoriz-
ing the Street Committee to contract with
G. f. Brooke, Esq, for sufficient land to
extend the alley running directly south
of his premises and parallel with Main
street, subject to approval Of the Council.
The Murphy organization of Eaton had
an ice cream festival in the Court House
park on Saturday night last, which was
well attended and patronized. The
grounds were Illuminated with Chinese
lanterns and sitting beneath the beauti-
full trees, eating cake and frozen cream,
we're many whose hearts were full of joy
and hope-joy because designations shad-
ows have been lifted, hope because paths
of duty and industry have opened up to
the feet of men, who now with steady
tread bear life's burdens.
Auditor OLDFATHER has presented us
with a tabular statement, exhibiting the
number of horses, cattle, mules, sheep
and hogs in the State for the years 1878
and 1879. We find that in 1878 Preble
county had $3.50 horses, and in 1879 g.
414; the number of cattle in 1878 was 49,
SIS, in 10, 1885; number Of mules 1862
and 361 number of sheep 1922 and H.
sos; number OF hogs 1924 and 39,S91.
There was an increase in all these ami
mails over 1878, except in hogs, in which
there was a falling off of over five thou
sand head.
We direct attention to the advertise
ment of Mt. Carroll Seminary. The fact
of its being now in its 9th year under
the same administration, speaks volumes
in its favor. From an humble begin
ming, it has had steady, healthy growth,
till it now ranks among the very best in
situations, and for a thorough practical
education, it has no peer West or East.
Its music conservatory affords the best
of advantages. Other features peculiar
ly its own, commend this institution be-
fore any similar mt in the west. Ad-
dress the Principal and receive free copies
of the Dread (the school journal), giving
full particulars.
The Wapakoneta DEMOCRAT says an
editor is the man who reads the newspa-
pers, writes articles on almost any sub
ject, sets type, reads proof, saws wood,
draws water, makes fires, works in the
garden, sweeps out, talks to all who call,
blamed for a hundred things which are
nobody's business but his own, helps
people to get into office (who forget all
about him afterward,) and frequently
gets cheated out of half his earnings.
He puffs and does more to build up a
town than any one else, and the miser
and fogy are benefited thereby yet they
will say that the editors paper is OF no
account-will not advertise or take the pa
per, but will borrow it. Who wouldn't
be an editor?
H. J. HAYWARD the well known tenn
perance orator, addressed a good sized
meeting in the Court House yard last
Wednesday evening. His speech was
