The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-07-14

No remedy in the world ever came in
to such universal use, or has so fully
wonthe confidence of mankind, as Aver
Cherry Pectoral for the cure of Coughs
Colds and Consumption.
An Iowa clergyman preached against
the sin of shaving on Sunday, and the
next Sunday the sexton refused to split
kindlings to start a fire, and the congre'
CATION dispersed.
At Cambridge, o., every nan that
goes to sleep in church is arrested and

to Eaton, and We could soon build a new
Court House.
There were several railroad men in
Eaton last week. They came to "talk
over" the project. There has been
enough of that kind of building roads
through Eaton.
If a man b~urglarizes an establishment
of $500 worth of goods-out of them gets
5000 in cash and lives high for a year,
and then goes out on a 5000 bond, what
does he lose?
En- exchange says hat some societies
are initiating a certain class of mean bu-
siness men. They ask the newspapers
to give them free notices to help them
along, and then when they want job
printing run around and dicker with
some amateur cheese-press printer.
A law passed by the last Legislature
provides for a premium of % cents for
every woodchuck scalp presented to the
County Commissioners. Erie county has
already paid out 1907. so to woodchuck
hunters, making the number slain 2,43O
in that county.
The weather all last week was of the
most fiery character, and could hardly
be mentioned without profanity. In our
Office the mercury ran out at the top of
the thermometer, and none but a sala-
mander could have endured it and wrote
editorials.
There are various theories about
comets, but all the astronomers concede
that no one knows what a comet really
lis, except that it is a heavenly body go
ing around the sun in an elongated orbit
at rare intervals and shooting away off
into space again nobody knows where.
The revision of the New Testament
doesn't say a word concerning the future
of delinquent subscribers. This is evi-

We want the subject touched up; red

1t is a sorry fact that the religion of too
many people is susceptible to the natural
phenomena of the atmosphere. It is
dampenedt to an alarming extent by rains,
blown away by the wind, e%vaporated by
the heat, and frozen by the cold. Sc
that, unless the weather maintains a
charming neutrality, the congregations
of the various churches are seriously af-
fected.
The stable of Alfred Rance, (colored)
north of Eaton, was burned down last
Friday, with two wagons, some grain,
and a horse so badly burned that he was
killed. Loss about $3.50, with no insur-
ance. Fire probably the cause of smok-
ing an old pipe in the premises. A SUBJ
%scription paper was started to assist Al
fred in his loss, not of his pipe, but the
other property.
Among the many evils to be Stunned
and dreaded in society is the two-faced
man. His open, bitter enmity is ten
fold better than his friendship. A slur
coming from one who is supposed to be
your friend is a thousand fold more Diet.
rimental toyou than many things equally
untruthful from all your enemies com

slur you in your absence, is the embodi-
ment of meanness.
The bond of Eugene Cohee, for the
burglary and robbery of Joseph Woer
ner's clothing house, was reduced from
$500 to 5000 by the Court last Thurs
day, and the young man turned out or
Ithe recognizance of himself and hin
father. This act seems like a mockery
of the law against burglary and robbery
and an encouragement to persons who
feel inclined to go into the business
With such bail no sane person has the
least idea that Cohee will appear for tria
at the October term of our Court. Is
the spirit, of the law to simply place
few dollars into the Golfers of our count,
for such crimes2
The question of who discovered tn,
present comet has become a most mo
mentous one. Over 500 persons hav
laid claim to the honor and the Warne
Prize of 5000, and all of them are within
comparatively the same time. 1t is de
sirable that no injustice be done in thi
