The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-09-22


The season of the year is at hand wher
street fakirs will be found on the corners
dealing out patent medicines of all kinds
selling brass jewelry and SOAP. A per
son who gets picked up with of these
should not expect any sympathy, as that
is their business and he knows it.
A fellow signing himself 'tcitizen" in
the last Register" because we advocate
the ringing of the bell on the Opera
House for public meetings, asks "who is
running the CounciI?" Many of the tax
payers are asking the same question:
Shoot off again, fool.
Suits for boys 4 to 9 years old, $3.50,
So. 80 and up, see them, at Jos. Woer-
ner's.
Parties are going through some of the
neighboring counties buying horses and
giving in payment bogus checks and
drafts on distant Banks. As these swim
dlers may come into Preble county, we
warn our farmers to keep a lookout for
them.
The Presbyterian church is again sup
piled with ar able and good minister,
and all who religiously lean in that di-
rection should give him encouragement
and support by their faithful attendance
and liberal patronage. There is smoothing
looks much meaner than a starved min
lister.
The coal companies are said to be pre-
pairing to make another advance in the
price of coal, even before the cold wealth
er. What excuse these huge m~onopolies|
can have for such a proceeding at this
time is impossible to tell. It looks very
much like a conspiracy to fleece the peo-|
'ple.
Mems suits, all wool, SO, $40 and $11.
Don't miss them. The biggest bargains
ever offered, at Jos. Woerner's.
The Christian church of Eaton has a
new pastor to fill the vacancy occasionedE
by the withdrawal of Rev. Garoutte. He
is said to be a very pleasant speaker
We hope to hear of him being well sup
ported. No church ought to have mini
lister and starve him, any more than a
party have an organ and fail to patron
ize it,
A generous, kind-hearted man seeks
to hide the faults of his fellow-men, mott
to parade them before the public for the
modification of innocent persons who re-
greet, but cannot help the conduct o those
bin whom they are interested. Every one
should practice the golden rule, and do
unto others. az they would that others
should do unto them.
New fall style neck ties at Jos. Woer-
ah
There are a great many persons around
here who haven't brains sufficient to dis
tinguish the difference between p~rivate
matters and public affairs. Public mat
tiers belong to anybody and everybody,
why pay taxes to keep them going-pri-
.vate business belongs only to the parties
concerned, and the fellow who sticks his
nose into them is meaner than a high
way robber and deserves the same fate.
The most curious thing of the century
lis a dead sheep. When alive the sheer.
has a value fixed by the Assessor or pur-
which is agreeable to the owner.
pr the sheep dies by accident, by any
other cause than by dogs, the sheep isl
worth nothing. But let a dead sheep
come before the Commissioners, as a vic-
tim of dogs, and it is generally worth
about four times what the assessor ap-l
praises it at, and about twice what thes
owner would sell it for if alive.
Hatsl Hats for men: boys and chill
:dren, latest styles and lowest prices, at
Jos. Woerner's.
The petty rogues who have been MAX
ling a disreputable living by punching
small holes out of silver coins find their
occupation gone. Secretary Window has
receded from his first intention of enforc-
ling the penalty for fraudulent mutilation|
i'm each individual case, as the plea that:
"the hole was cut for a string to hang
round my child's neck, ''silly as it might.
appear, would be very difficult to dis
prove. Hereafter mutilated coins will
|be redeemed as bullion, and that will
settle the matter.
