in this world more patent than for them
to sit up until twelve O'Clock on Saturday
night to place the last bow and furbelow
on a new style dress and then to wake
up on Sunday morning and find the rain
pouring down in torrents. The death of
a rich old bachelor uncle is as nothing
compared with it.
Here is a police court report in four

Oh, say! have you seen the Illustrated

Cheap Store, next to the post-ofice?
We have a question for some of our de-
batting societies to tackle for us, to-wit:
"What is the difference between a Dem
ocrat and a Republican illegally and I'M
lawfully taking money out of the public
treasury" We don't see any, but we

the matter. The society that settles it
satisfactorily can have the DEMOCRAT

Word now comes that Greenville is hot
for a road from there to Eaton, and that
the citizens of that burg are ready to

We are in favor of J. H. Zoos, H. B.
VanAusdal and G. P. Thum, who served
as the Building Committee during the
erection of the Opera House, making out
a bill against the Corporation for. their
services and presenting it to the present
Council for allowance, and all other Com
mittees who have performed labor. We
don't believe in favoritism. Tumble in,
boys, and draw your wages. The "pre-
cedent'' is fixed. It's all right.
Many of our subscribers have called
the past two weeks and paid their sub
scription in advance for another year,
and we have added more new names to
our list and lost fewer than any year
since the first we took charge of the DEM
ocRAT. Many of them expressed hearty
praise in behalf of the paper. We are in
no wise partial to flattery, but when men
whose opinions are valuable express
their feelings thusly, it cylinder props a

People who have subscribed for {

that the only legal way to discontinue
their subscription is to pay all arrear
and order the paper stopped. A man il

several times ordered the paper discor

the laws of the State and the Unite
