September, tobacco, corn, potatoes, horse
and wagon and household furniture.
A gossiping woman can raise more hell
to the square foot of ground than the
worst hurricane that ever waltzed its gen
tie breezes over the earth's surface.
There is no mistake about this assertion,
The colored picnic held at Eaton on
Thursday Of last week was very well at
tended, and those present seemed to en-
joy themselves in a very quiet and gem
tlemanly tanner. None of the big speak
ers got here.
A loving heart and a pleasant counte-
nance are commodities which a man
should never fail to take home with him.
Good advice. And it strikes us
it would be nice to find something OF the
kind at home, too.
If you want TO visit the State fair at
Columbus, the p G. and st. Louis rail-
way will carry you there and back at So.
The ticket will be good until the S0th.
You can leave Richmond, Ind, at 7:1S
and 2.O5, and New Paris at Z 80 and
2:19.
A San Francisco mar has invented a
machine that will tell to within a small
amount the quantity Of gold a person has
about him. When this machine collides
with an editor it is so awfully hard work
ed hat the perspiration rolls off its face
in big drops.
1t seems there never was a more favor
able season for farmers than the present
one. The harvest was taken care of with
out rain, and just as the wheat and hay
are snugly put away, a copious rain fell
for the benefit of the corn, and to soften
up the ground for fall blowing.
France has / SOC, 600 marriageable girls,
and Massachusetts several hundred of
thousands more. Just think of that!
And yet there are fellows who go and
make asses of themselves and commit
suicide about one pretty face, and think
that there is not another woman in erea-
ton.
Council met last Monday evening, or
ganized, passed some bills, issued an or
der to pay off a $500 bond and interest,
received the report of the Deem street
equalization board and laid it over until
next meeting, in order to give opportuni
ty to any who want to enter objections to
it. Adjourned in good order.
The custom of postmasters guessing at
the destination of m~isdirected letters
caused much annoyance, the
Postoffice Department orders its discon-
tinuance. Unless the intended destina-
ton of a letter is positively known it
must be sent to the dead letter Office, or,
the necessary information is on the en-
velope, returned to the writer.
The Pioneers of Preble county held q
last Saturday, in Mr.. Morton's
grove, about seven miles southwest of
Eaton. There was a large attendance,
but unfortunately its interesting proceed
were cut short by heavy rain.
Judge Chambers, of Eaton, was in the
midst Of an address about that time and
compelledfo retire.

The Mt. Carroll Seminary, Carroll Co.,
Ill, makes no boast OF ''cheapness," still
it is the testimony of those havinga large
acquaintance with schools that there is
none east or west that gives a better
equivalent for the money paid than does
this institution. 1t has greatly enlarged
and improved its accommodation during
the past two years, and at the same time
reduced prices to its patrons. Through
all the "hard times its patronage has
steadily increased, and the coming yeaI
gives promise OF great prosperity. See
advertisement in other columns.
Eaton we believe has more than her
share of bigoted, narrow-minded, little
souled busy bodies. If any of them should
by accident get into heaven, We are afraid
the Almighty would be very much an
noyed because everything was not done
to suit their little contracted intellects.
They have but n idea in their crani.
ums, they wouldn't hold any more, and
that is that the world and all init was
made to suit that single idea, and any.
thing going on to the contrary ought tc
be suppressed. They are to be pitied.
Now is the time to commence to pre-
pare your articles and to take int. con
~sideration what you intend to exhibit a
our County Fair this fall. The commit
tee who have the Fair in charge intenC
making it the best that has ever beer
held in the county. Nothing will be lief
undone on their part to make it a sue
cess. The grounds will be put in first
class order, and ample arrangement
made for the accommodations exhibi
tors. But to make it a success, Jul PEG
pie must go to work in time, and as tn
season opens all our farmers should cul
tivate something, and their wives am
daughters make something for exhibi
ton.

The Associations for the coming yea
will no doubt be well attended. Alread
