A GRAND SIGHT.
Which One and All can see al
Michael 81 Sons.

A DEMOCRAT reporter during his ram
blings over town last week in quest of
items, dropped into the well known
Drug Store of Michael & Sons, No. 1877
Commercial Block. The pretty sight
which the well-filled store room present
ed was as attractive as it is uncommon
for Eaton. Great dependant strands of
cedar stretched from the front to the rear
of the room, and as it was gracefully and
artisticaHy looped and crossed at either
end, presented a picture that was indeed
beautiful. Inside the two glass display
cases, which extended the greater por-
ton of the length of the room, were seen
articles in such profusion that the pen of
a Cervantes or Dickens would be made
quate to describe the same. Beautifully
polished and lined ladies' work and toilet
boxes are to be seen, as well as sketch
ing racks, easels for photographs, music
holders, powders, perfumes, and in fact
lady's boudoir. Then there are pretty
things for the little one-such as toys of
all kinds, from the dumping jack' to
the wooden railroad train drawn by a
fierce looking engine; juvenile books
then are in great numbers, with such old
reliables as "Mother Goose,' "Jack the
Giant Killer, ""Baron Munchasen," &c.,
until parental authority" cannot help
being pleased; fine smoking sets, which
are just H thing for a present from a
young lady to her masculine admirer. A
smoking set is a much handsomer and
more useful present than two OF three
dozen pairs of slippers. The celebrated
"hub punch" something new and some
thing nice, given up by n and all as
the most delicious and invigorating drink
on record. All the standard works by
the best known authors, in stock, as well
as exquisitely bound Bibles, one of
which should be in every civilized fami-
ly. Our space is too limited to describe
the many attractive sights which can be
seen at Michael & Sons by those who
call. Everybody is requested to call,
whether they desire to purchase any
thing or not, as Michael & Sons are at
all times willing and DESTROYS to show
goods and give prices. A visit will con-
vince any one that this firm can offer in
ducements in all the goods they handle
that no other house in the same line of
business in Eaton al compete with.

Important Correction.
ELDoRApo, O., Dec. 20, 1SS,

In last weeks "Register," Dec. 10Th,
there were a few lines concerning the
Eldorado boys, which was not correct
ly construed in regard to facts, and be-
ing somewhat interested in their well
fare, we desire that it should ne or
rectcd. We want to say that the boys
were not in front of the Union House
entertaining bystanders, but were in
the parton entertaining themselves.
The statement in the Register was true,
but the thought that would be impress
ed upon the readers mind in regard to
the way it is composed is false. We
would advise the writer to punctuate
more correctly before expressing pub
licly his private opinions. We also
want to state that when the boys con-
| clude to have a concert, they will do
their own advertising and don't want
to put their unknown friend to any
trouble, and hope he will not try to
give another stiff, such as the last, but
be more wise and take the better plan,
| Nix,

The Marrow Guage" B. B.

The Opera House in Eaton was filled
on Monday evening last by citizens, in
the interest of a Narrow Guage railroad
from this place to West Milton. The
meeting was organized by ~electing ]. H.
Zoos, Esq, Chairman, and Capt. ]. N.
LAKE, as Secretary, and addressed eX-
tensively and infinitely by ]. o. ARNOLD,
of the Southeast Narrow Guage, from
Dayton, showing the cheapness and adj
vantages of a Narrow Guage road. He
was followed by a gentleman from Lew
isburg, Judge Campbell and the Presi-
dent of the meeting, after which it was
proposed to appoint a committee of five
to confer with the citizens and work up
an interest in the road The committee
appointed was as follows: G.. H. Ed
son, Alfred Denny, Capt. Lake, H. c.
Hiestand and L. G. Gould. The Com
mittee met Mr.. Arnold on Tuesday morn
ing in his room at the Eagle Hotel, and
had considerable talk " the censtruc.
ton of the road and the cost of the same,
which satisfied every n that the gen
tleman is in earnest and will build the
road if we raise the subscription, esti
mated at $4,000 per mile, the money moi
to be paid until the cars arrive. The
line east will be through Lewisburg t.
West Milton, which will connect direct
ly with the line running to the Goa
mines of Jackson county-the south-wes
route, by the way of College Corner o
Liberty, will be determined by tn
amount of subscription raised. Mr.. Ar
MOLD will return to Eaton soon again
and we say to every citizen, join in tn
work and let us build this road.
The Committee organized by e%lectin'
H. G. Hiestand, President, and J. n
Lake, Secretary. As matters progress
in the interest of the enterprise, we wi
have more to say about it.

Editing a PAPER.


Editing a paper is a pleasant business
if you like it.
If it contains much political matter
people won't have it.
If the type is large it don't contain
much reading matter.
If we publish telegraph reports, folks
say they are nothing but internal lies.
Ii we omit them they say we have no
enterprise, or suppress them for political
effect.
If we have a few jokes, folks say we
are nothing but rattleheads.
If we omit jokes, folks say we are moth
but old fossils.
If we publish original matter, they
| damn us for not giving selections.
If we give selections, people say we
are lazy for mo- writing more and giving
them what they. have not read in some
other paper.
If we give a complimentary notice, We
are censured for being partial.
If we don't, all hands say we are a
great hog.
If W. publish an article which pleases
the ladies, the men become jealous, and
vice versa.
If we attend church they say it is fol
effect.
If we remain in our office, attending tc
our own business, folks say we are toe
proud to mingle with our fellows.
Ii we go out, they say we don't attenG
to our business.
If we don't pay up promptly, they say
we are not to be trusted.
If We pay up promptly, they say WI
stole the money.

A citizen of Eaton who is a close OBJ

For producing the 'sgreen and yellow
melancholy" in the average young lady,
there are few trials and disappointments
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.

There is nothing in the paper, said
Grace Loring, dashins it On the floor,
mo news at all; it is miserably stupid.
Look again, Grace, at the carefully
printed columns, the different head
ings, foreign, home and domestic news
the wit and humor. Think for a mo-
ment, when you gaze at it, how the
overtaxel editor has tried to please
you. There is probably no class Of
men more oyerworked than these no
labor more wearing than mental labor.
1t is easy to cry cut nothing in the
paper for those who know little OF
the drudsery, the painstaking, the
hours Of mental waarness, tie tedi,
Gus compositions. No paper can be
printed with lis carefully prepared
columns containing nothing, unless
the editors, reporters and printers are
all fools, which /; a matter too absurd
TO be suggested.
It is common saying, when a per.
son is not exactly suited to exclaim
there is Nothing in the paper Rid.
ing once in railroad car | observed
two gentlemen purchase the same Pa
per; one gazing over it handed it
across to a neighbor, exclaiming, here
Sam have the morning paper! there
is nothing in it to-day, it is hardly
worth lending. The other gentleman
took it and continued to be absorbed.
Presently the man by his side asked
him what interested him so much.
He replied, everything, the paper is
we'll gotten up this morning, the edi.
torials are especially fine This
proves that what pleases one does not
suit another. Be it assured it is no
child play to edit and conduct
newspaper; it is a very serious, te.
dious, important, responsible position
and the man who manages well
circulated, satisfactory newspaper has
almost the wisdom Of II Solomon. =
Let those who doubt it take the edi-
tors place for a little while; nothing
more is needed to cure a grumbler.
Our friend Grace, when she is tempt,
ed to make such remarks, had better
pause to consider whether the fault
be in the paper or her silly little
head.
