Keen STRAIGHT Ahead.

Pay no attention to SANDER and gossip
mongers. Keep straight on in your course
and let their backbiting die the death OF
neglect. What is the use of lying awake
nights brooding over the remark of some
false friend, that runs through your head
like lightning? What is the use of get
ting into a worry and fret over gossip
that has been set afoat to your disad-
vantage, by some meddlesome busybody
who has more time than character? The
things cannot possibly injure you unless,
indeed, you take notice of them, and in
combating with them give them standing
and character. If what is said about you
is true, set yourself right; if it is false,
let it go for what it will fetch. If a bee
stings you, would you go to the hive to
destroy it? Would not a thousand come
upon you? 1t is wisdom to say little re-
specting the injuries you have received.
We are generally loser in the end, if we
stop to refute all the backbiting and gos-
siping we may hear by the way. They
are annoying, it is.true, but not danger
GUS, SO long as you do not stop to expos
tulate and scold. Our characters are
formed and sustained by ourselves, by
u own actions and purposes, and not
others. Let us always bear in mind that
''calumniators may usually be trusted to
time and the slow but steady justice of

More Salary Grab Law.

Last week we quoted the civil law in
regard to Councilmen who take pay for
services, which was very mild compared
with the following taken from the Ohio
Penal Code, chapter 8, section 43-says
.ler's chapter 1709, section 90; see also
Wilson's Ohio Criminal Code, page LIZ,
section 4S. We want these gentlemen to
sseeexaetly the positionthey=huvc placed
themselves in on the matter of taking
pay as Councilmen, and again advise
them to turn the amount back into the
Corporation Treasury. They shall not
plead ignorance any longer: za Hera
"Any officer or member of the Council
of any municipal corporation who is in
terested, directly or indirectly, in the
profits of any contract, job, work, or ser
vices for the corporation, or acts as COM
missioner, architect, superintendent, or
engineer, in any work undertaken or
prosecuted by the corporation during the
term for which he was elected or appoint
ed; or for one year thereafter, shall be
fined not more than One Thousand nor
less than Five Hundred Dollars, or inn
prisoned not more than six months nor
less than thirty days, or both, and shall
forfeit his office" A2t

Bad fer the Boys.

The following bill has been introduced
IN the Senate by Mr.. Beer to prevent Ger
tain ofenses therein named, and if pass
ed will be hard ON the boys as well as
those who deal in firearms:
SECTION l.. Be it enacted by the GEN
eral Assembly of the State of Ohio, that
whoever sells, barters or gives away to
any minor, under the age of twelve years,
any musket, rife-gun, revolver, pistol, or
other fire arm, of any kind or description
whatever; or ammunition for the same,
or whoever, being the owner, OF having
charge or control of any such musket,
rife-gun, shotgun, revolver, pistol, or
other fire-arm, knowingly permits the
same to be used by such minor, shall be
deemed guilty of a misdemeanor, and up
on conviction thereof, shall Ibe fined IN

The Farmer.

It does ones heart good to see a merry,
round-faced farmer. So Independent and
yet so free from vanity and pride; SO rich
and yet SO industrious; SO patient and
p~ersevering in his calling, and yet SO
kind, sociable and obliging. There are a
thousand noble traits about his charac-
ter. He is generally hospitable. Eat
and drink with him and he won't set a
mark ON you, and sweat it out of you with
double compound interest; some people
we know will; you r welcome; he will
do you a kindness without expecting a
return by way of compensation is not
SO with everybody. Ee is usually more
honest and sincere, less disposed to deal
in low and underhand cunning than many
we could name. He gives to society its
best support, its irmest pillar that sup
ports the edifce of nature. Look at him
in his homespun and gray laugh at him
if you viii, but believe he can laugh back
if he pleases.

NATION-January 31st, OF Consump-

months and Is days.
JACOB NATION was citizen of Eaton
for many years and a man of good heart
and many excellent qualities, an untiring
and rugged laborer of his pursuits. For
the last twenty-five or thirty years pre-
vious to his death he was engaged in the
manufacture of brick, and we are inform
ed by a friend of the deceased, that since
the year 1913, made and furnished all
the brick that built Dur Court House,
city Hall, churches, business houses, and
many of the fine residences in and around
Eaton. He was a man that enjoyed the
amusements of life and engaged in them
literally until the winter of 1855, when,
during a religious revival at the NJ. E.
Church here, he experienced a change of
heart and became a member of that
church organization, from which time to
the date of his death, he lived a very ex-
emplary and quiet life. His illness was
long and painful, but he bore it patient
ly until death transported him cover the

Our people are decidedly of the opin-
ion that another such farce as was enact
ed at the so-called Temperance Conven-
ton at Eaton, will entirely obliterate the
few remains of the Prohibition party in
this county. The more prominent gen
tlemen were possibly DESTROYS of gaining
cheap notoriety, which we suppose they
got. Heaven ave us from any more Of
these idiotic performances. We are in
favor of temperance as strongly as any
of the leaders of this convention, but
these foolish exhibitions are only really
detrimental to the cause.

1.-THE Great BOOM

Eighteen hundred and seventy-nine will long be
~emb Il as the time when all kinds Of bust
ness and financial prosperity seemed to spring
into new life. Merchants are finding plenty Of
ready customers for their wares, mechanics meet
with ready employment at fair wages, and the
farmers are receiving advanced prices for their
products, and 1t is acknowledged by all that In no
part Of our country are the evidences Of prosper
ity and comfort so marked as along the entire
line Of the "oh Reliable" Hannibal q st Joseph
Railroad. And to attain these results the man
agenent Of the Hannibal & st Joseph Railroad
have given their careful thought and attention,
and the rapid growth OF business. and increasing
wealth Of the community along the whole line are
evidences that their efortsare faIly appreciated.
We are, as usual. running In connection with the
Chicago, Burlington &lQuincy Railroad through
Day Coaches, Reclining Chairs (free.0 and Pull
man Sleeping Cars from Chicago via Quincy to
Missouri river points. Also through Day Coaches
from Toledo and indianapolis, with Pullman Sleep

AT IN ouera Hcuaa.

On Friday evening next a company
from our neighboring village of WestAl-
exandria, viii play the thrilling temper
ance drama, "TEN NIaHTs IN A BAR
RooM," and from what we have heard OF
the manaer in which each one connected
with this entertainment fill their charac-
tiers, we can confidently say to the pub
lie that it will richly pay all who patron
ize it. The price of admission will be
only Is and 10 cents, and the recitation
in gesticulate language of the "Star
Spangled Banner, " by Miss HALLE HoL-
LAND, a mute, is said to be alone worth
double the price of admission. We hope
our citizens will turn out and give our
young friends a crowded house, as the
proceeds are for the benefit of the Eaton
Temperance Association.

CASPER IT,, Jan. 31st, 1880.
To THE COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND H
ENTERPRIsING Public ,5
What will we do with our roads. IT'S
evident to the most casual observer that
the present amount of labor performed
upon our highways Especially the thor
oughfares) is insufficient to keep them in
a condition that is satisfactory to the en-
terprising people of this county. The
question then arises: What is the pre-
ferabfe course to pursue in order to meet
the requirements of the case?- Shall we
avail ourselves of the privileges OF what
is, termed the "road improvement law?"
which is done in many places, although
considered by some rather expensive and
generally unsatisfactory on account of re-
quiring the tax to be paid into the Urea
suryy in money instead of being discharg-
ed by labor upon the roads, and further
more requires the same assistance of
some who have other roads demanding
their labor in the discharge of the ordi-
nary road tax, OF have the Commission
ers of the county under the law the right
to levy a small tax, similar to the bridge
fund, to be expended under certain con-
ditions-say something that would be
open to all alike, or that would meet an
enterprising spirit half way. In other
words help those who will help them
selves, by making it a condition that be-
fore any road can receive any portion of
this general fund there must be a special
road tax levied on such road. The
amount to be given to said road to be in
proportion to the tax levied upon such
road by the people along the line. In
case of the road being a thoroughfare it
is an outlet for all, and is rather an in
Justice to ask the people along such line
to keep same in good repair, and is rath-
er discouraging to the citizen of enter
prise who would evidently be willing to
bear some extra expense for the advan-
tage of living on such road, provided he
was encouraged by some assistance as
above stated or in some other manner
satisfactory to the enterprising tax-pay-
ers of Preble county. If the County Com
missioners have not, power under the law
to act according to the tanner which l
have stated, could they not be empower
ed by special act, if desired by the peo-
Pile; or what are the Commissioners and
the people going to do about it? Evil
IDENTIFY something will have to be done,
if we do not intend to retrograde in the
matter of roads. My object in writing is
to call attention to this important mat
ter, if successful 1 shall feel satisfied.

proven itself to be a positive cure for
Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis, and
all lung diseases. 1t has saved the

clothing in winter, as to not nave Wis

never fails to immediai ely relieve all
soreness of throat and lungs. A single
dose taken at bed time will aus re-
freshing slumber, and by morning an
ordinary cough or cold will be gone.
Ask your druggist and your friends
concerning the merit of Wistar's Bal
sam, and be wise in time. Price OF
