The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1880-09-09

On last Monday afternoon Mr.. Mark
ley's horse became frightened by a hog
running under him, near the north school
house, causing him to run away, damag-
ing the vehicle he was hitched to very
considerable and breaking the harness
all to pieces, besides endangering the life
of Mr.. NJ. These brutes are at large in
violation of law, and whoever is respon-
sible for not enforcing it against them and
keeping them off the street, should be
made responsible for all losses of life,
limb or property caused by such neglect.
Eaton is the only town of any decency in
Ohio, that allows swine to infest its
streets with their filthy meanderings,
and it is about time a change was made.
The Agricultural Board of Preble coun-
ty have issued their Premium books, and
We have no doubt through the efficient
services of F. G.. Thompson, Esq, the
Secretary, they are already in the hands
of most of our readers, and that they
have been closely examined. The pre-
MUM list has been increased, as well as
H-
the classes on hogs, sheep and cattle,
the amphitheatre extended and a large
building for the Horticultural depart
ment erected, and the success of the Fair
now only depends in a very large mea-
sure, upon the people of the county, who
should have enough of home pride to
make it the best one ever held in the
county. This can only be done by a
common interest being manifestedin dis
playing whatever any person may have.
that may tend to show the condition of
agricultural affairs IS well as the me-
chanicaLand manufacturing ingenuity of
the county. A general attention is all
that is needed. Neighbor should invite
his neighbor to be ~present.in person with
some article for exhibition, and be sure
to be present himself, and then the Pre-
BILE County Fair for the present year will
be a grand success.
