work always take 1t elsewhere. We
highly appreciate such little marks of
favor.
Sheriff Snyder has the boss rooster in
Eaton. He came from Michigan, and we
have engaged him for next November, to
crow owe the election of a Democratic

up. Fact.
Mrs. Mary Luenberger, wife of John
Luenberger, living in the southeast part
of Eaton, died suddenly of pneumonia,

good mother.
1t is now about time for the country
press to step publishing the ~prospectuses'

of the Press?
Mrs. Barbra Kaylor, mother of J. A..
Kaylor, at whose house two miles north
of Eaton she has had a home for a long
time, died very suddenly last Thursday.
She was somewhere in seventy, and was
very much respected by all who knew
her.
We notified by postal the person who
gets his paper at Camden, and now re-
fuses it, that there was ."back pay" due
on it. The man who does business in
such a manner, we wouldn't trust with
our pocket-book. We put him on the
black list to be published SOON.
Saturday, March 9Th, is the time ap-

Young man, don't swear. There isno
occasion for swearing outside of a news
paper office, where it is useful in proof
reading and indispensably necessary in
getting forms to press. 1t has been
known, also, to materially assist the ed
itor in looking yer the paper after it is
printed. But otherwise it is a very fool
ish habit.
Miss CLARA FISHER, youngest daugh-
ter of Eli Fisher, died in Eaton on Sat
urday afternoon last, of Consumption, in
the 10th year of her age. After long
and serious illness she met her death,
almost in the morning of her existence,
in the bright flush of a perfect woman
hood, and has left behind nothing but
the purest and hottest recollections Of a
life of tender quietness.
As Professor L. D. Brown has just
completed his first year as superintend-
ent of the public schools of Hamilton, we
trust that our citizens will show, by max
ing personal acknowledgements, that his
work as an educator has been duly ap-
preciated. MI. Brown has thus far dis
played executive ability of a high order
during his administration, and, for dis
charging his difficult duties in a thorough
and mastery manner, certainly deserves
| the applause of the pubGc.-[Butler Co.

walking:

in the late leg contest here, has notified
us that he has been challenged by MIR.

for 500 a side. John accepted and the
match is to come off in March, at Bark
mans Hall. John also assures us that
the coming contest will be no Houkey
affair.

The Teachers Association met last Sat
urday at the Opera House, and the exer-
cises were among the best ever held.
Taylor Carson's Correctness of Express

and enterprising teacher, fully alive and
awake to the progressive spirit of the
times. j. W. Siders next treated the
"Modern Diogenes'' in a humorous and
original manner, which was "sue gene
ris." supt. Mcclure, of Glendale, gave
a pleasant and profitable talk on the

favor of permissible county supervision.
The exercises were opened in the after
noon by some very pleasant music, un
der charge of MI. Barkeloo. Supt. L.
