Honesty is the best policy in medicine
as well as in other things. Ayers Sarsa-
parilla is genuine preparation, an un-
equalled spring medicine and blood puri-
fer, decidedly superior to all others in
the market. Trial proves it.
Several Richmond capitalists met with
some of our citizens last Thursday eve
ming in Eaton, in the interest of the con-
templated L. B. & w. railroad through
here. They want the line to strike the
city of Richmond. We have no objec-
ton where it hits so it comes through
Eaton.
Those who are scared to death over
the great amount of distress 1881 is to
bring, should remember that in 1880 we
had a perihelion, and not more than half
the people in the world knew the first
thing about it; and perihelions are very
dangerous, especially when first caught,
and kind o. wild like.
The Murphy organization is booming
in Eaton-scooping 'em in by the doz-
ems. There is no force, abuse OF denun-
citation about Treason and kind persu-
aston does it, and that will beat all your
local option, prohibition or Sunday laws,
that forces a person to do what he don't
exactly see at first to be correct.
If you have any money to spend, spend
it at home. Help build up-your churches
and your schools. Never speak in dero-
cation of home industries. Encourage
every enterprise by good words and per-
sonal aid, that will bring a single dollar
to your town by honest means. Be
neighborly. Don't yillify your neighbor,
who probably is as good as you are. Do
all this, and we will maintain the digni-
ty of a.irst class town.
The employees in the cigar manufacto-
ry of Mr.. Frank Filbert, of this place,
numbering about forty, surprised him
last Thursday by gathering in his gro

gold pin, an emblem of the I. o. o. F.,
because if was his birthday. Before
Frank was made aware of the designs of
the boys and girls, he "a rerving him
self to be informed hat there was a
"strike."
Ed. o. A. Bartholomew, of Coving-

continue the same during the evenings

ing week. Subject for Monday evening,

But little brains, except of the "root
hog" kind, are required to accumulate
riches. A man to become wealthy need
not show any b~enevolence or love of hui
manity outside of his own family. Should
he happen TO have a conscience he can
ease it by giving back in charitable do
nations, after his death, a portion of his
gains to those whom he has helped tc
pauperize. They who attempt to vindi,
cate the Money Power by saying ''brains
will rule" should examine the quality
of those inside the money-getter's crani
um.
