Charley Jones, son of G.. w. Jones,
ESQ.,, of this place, has returned home
from Cincinnati, where he recently grad
uated at the Ohio Medical College, he
having received the handsome gold medal
for being the best manipulation with
bandages there was in the graduating
class. We learn he intends for the pres

childhood up.

Kali ROAD Meeting.

A railroad meeting in the interest Of
the EvansIiI lille and Dayton railway, was
held in the Opera House on Thursday
evening of last week, but as there was
SO little effective business done in the in
terest of the enterprise, we report none
of the proceedings. 1t will be tried over
again this Thursday evening. at the
same place, and if the business men of
Eaton and those who own the property
and have the means to assist and forward
the project, will not attend and give it
aid and encouragement, there is no use
talking and blowing about the matter any
longer. Let it drop, and let the town
remain in the ''suds" until death makes
sufficient changes to bring forward men
of life and enterprise, and who will think
there is somebody to inhabit this u
try after they have passed over the River
of Jordan.

New Music.

The latest and best song and chorus is
entitled, "The Flower of Tennessee" by
James E. Stewart. This song has one of
the most beautiful melodies ever pub
lished, and is sung with immense sue
cess by the prominent Minstrel Troupes
throughout the country. The music is
very simple and can be played on the
Organ or Piano.

This school being under the charge of
Miss Maggie Gait, Of West Alexandria,

same. L for one was there this winter,
and can say so without any hesitation.
In order to show their high appreciation
OF her work, the pupils and people of the
district concluded to give her last day.

began to come in with huge baskets fill

(after thanks to the Most High -were of

Through the kindness of Mr.. F. White

Miss Jennie Pottenger and Miss Lille
Morlatt have secured schools in the coun-
try. They are both pupils that their for
mer Principal, Prof. T. A. Pollok, may
well be proud of.
Articles of incorporation have been for
warded to Columbus to procure a charter
for the Camden Building and Loan Asso-
citation, the capital stock of which is $780,
900, divided into 5000 shares, payable in
installments of % cents a week-and
twenty shares being the limit that any
stakeholder can hold. The prospects of
success are hattering, as over one hun
dred shares have already been taken,
several of which by parties from Eaton.
A petition extensively signed by the
citizens of Camden and Somers town
ship, has been sent to Representative
Stubs, praying the Legislature to pass
a special Act authorizing the citizens of
said township to petition the Trustees to
issue bonds for the purpose of raising
funds to pay their quota of assessment to
build seven miles of the z. S. & D. R..R.
through said township. In addition to
(which petition a request will be made
that power be granted so that ten days
notice will be sufficient to legalize their
holding elections-same time of April
l.elections-in place of requiring twenty
days, as required Of the other townships.
The estimate isthat the tax to be levied
will not exceed one and one-half per
cent, or about $3.50 on the human. The
rousing R. R. meeting at Winchester last
week, at which Gratis townships por-
ton was guaranteed, has aroused the cit

that cannot be taken outside of Wash.

Shot Himself Dead,

Our community was shocked on Mon
day morning last over a report that Josiah
Ware, living on his farm on Paint creek,
about six miles southwest of Eaton, had
committed suicide by shooting himself,
the truth of which report was verified by
the Coroner being notified of the necessity
of his official services. Ware had made
threats of putting himself out of the way
several times before, but just what in
duced him to perpetrate the deed at the
time he committed it, seems shrouded in
the dark. Evidently domestic difficulties
or pecuniary trouble was at the bottom
of the sad affair. In doing the work he
went out to his sugar-camp and used a
double-barreled shot gun, and must have
placed the butt of the gun against a tree
and held the muzzle in his left hand,
touching off the trigger with the ramrod,
sending the whole charge through his
left side close to his heart, causing in
slant death, as he was discovered by one
of his children in a very few minutes af-
ter the deed was done. He was about
fifty years of age and leaves a wife and a
family OF six or seven young children to
lsorrow over his foolish act.

DELEGATE CANNON.
he is interviewed at Cheyenne

Cheyenne, 1S.-A Leader reporter
has interviewed Cannon, the Nor
mon delegate to Congress. Cannon
expresses confidence in his ultimate
victory over Campbell. He says all
the lawyers and congressman in
Washington agree that he cannot be
kept out of his seat. The idea was
suggested that the next House, being
republican. would keep him out in
the cold. He said he had more to
hope for from a republican House,
because republicans abhorred the
principle which sought to unseat
him. AS to Governor Murray's visit
to Mentor, several days before the
Inauguration, and the announce
ment that Garfield had endorsed
Murray's action, Cannon said he had
it from good authority that Garfield
did not approve of the giving of the
certificate to Campbell.
