The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-11-17

If our girls grow up with no higher am
bition than to pass through their school
education with only just that amount of
knowledge which will be deemed re-
spectacle in fashionable circles, devoting
all their time out of school to street walk
ing and silly gossip, with not n mo-
ment given to domestic duties, who can
wonder that they make unreasonable, in
dolent, incompetent housekeepers?
A thing of beauty is a joy forever. The
Faultless Wood Base Burner is a beauty
and a Joy to its possessor. For sale only
by G. S. Price,. nov3-4
Considerable commotion has been ex-
listing in Eaton for several days past,
feoncerning the financial condition of the
grain dealing firm OF MILLER & LAKE
We hope they will be able to bridge over
the present current that seems to be run
ming against them. 1t is better for the
prosperity of our community that every
citizen would lend assistance to business
men in distress than to be crying them
down.

1t is q pleasant sight to see the groupes
of boys and girls, beautiful with the
bloom and health of youth pass to and
from their daily Rotations. Happy as
the day is long, free from every care,
seeing only the pleasure or pain of the
passing hour, they are at the meridian
of life's enjoyment. Be thus happy while
you may, for the day will come, only too
soon for some of you, when almost the
only consolation in daily toll will be the
recollection of those halcyon days.
We are not printing a gossip paper
please remember that. A Newspaper is
what we are trying to give our readers.
If Miss Shoddy or MIR. Snobbs of Eaton,
visits Miss Squilisberger or Mr.. Damp
hool of Camden or West Alexandria, of
what interest or information is it to the
general reader of the DEMOCRAT? Not
bit. Please excuse us from such cores
p~ondents. The absence Of citizens for a
time or the visits of strangers may be of
some interest, but neighborhood calls for
publication are simply gossip, and We
don't want them for our paper.
The CLAIRE SCOTT Dramatic Company
will give an entertainment at the
Opera House on Tuesday evening next.
Miss Scott bears an''excellent reputation,
and wherever she has appeared in the
character of 'tLucretia Borgia," has won
the plaudits of all her auditors. OF COM
handing person and beautiful action,
she is simply a magnificent actress. We
need say no more-of the troupe. 1t is
not mere laudation, it is simple truth,
and we ask all who have any doubts in
regard to it to go and see her on next
Tuesday night at the Opera House.

The time is rapidly approaching for
another national Thanksgiving day, on
which the people generally will be ex-
pected to stuff themselves on roast tur-
key, escaloped oysters and pumpkin pie,
and to give thanks for whatever bless
ings have been showered upon them by
a grateful and kind Providence. Every
person has something for which to be
thankful, but the past year has been one
marked with calamities and nationaTdis
tress, and only the true christian can de-
voutly and humbly say4"Thy will be
DONE" we rejoice and are thankful for
whatever has come to pass under Thy
direction.
In another part of our paper we give
space to the Wood Measuring Law, pass
ed recently by our Council. The Coun-
Gil refused to have it published in the
DEMOCRAT because of the expense. 1t
interests the public and numerous of our
readers and we give it gratutiously. We
are pleased at this exhibition of econo-
my in the dear souls of our city dads
We hope they will not stop at the %trifing
expense of the publication of a public
law that interests Democrats as well as
Republicans. They are fooling away
and squandering the public funds on mat
tiers of far less benefit and interest to the
taxpayers than the publication of this
law in two papers would amount to, and
this is the "why" our taxes are 81 .95 or
the 500 in the Corporation. It is time
for a halt.
