The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1881-03-03
For the Democrat.
Camden Chips.

ED. DEM.-Mr.and Mrs. John G. Grace
have moved to Richmond, Ind.
Accidents. especially among the ladies,
have been quite numerous this winter.
The first one being Mrs. Bridge, who was
thrown out of a sleigh while en- route to
the Macedonia NJ. E. ~protracted meeting,
held there after the holidays, and had
an arm broken. Mrs. DIR. Homshur and
Mrs. Carroll each slipped and fell during
the late slippery spell and dislocated a
wrist, and a few days since Mrs. Mary
McCord fell and dislocated one of her
ankles.
The post-ofice was robbed on Thurs
day night last. The supposition is that
the thieves went in through the trent
door with a skeleton key, and out the
money order book, postal cards, stamps
and mail keys were no disturbed in any
way that can be observed as yet. In.
connection to the P. o., Mrs. Brown and
Miss Lima Harris keep a book, station
cry and fancy goods store, and the re-
cefpts. for sales in this department were
kept in a button box and hid among 9TH
er goods on ene.ofthe shelves. The .eon-
tents OF this box amounted to some $14.
This they found and took. Evidently
the thieves, who were doubtless home
talent, must have been on the lookout and
seer Miss Harris make change for a Gus
toner on the evening before. No arrests.
The office will be removed on the 1st of
March, back to its old quarters on Main
street, where it was held by the late Esq.
Roher.
The birthday of John G.. Whittier, the
poet, was celebrated by our schools on
Friday afternoon last, at the Presbyteri-
an church: The exercises were excel
lent and Witnessed by a crowded house.
Much credit is due to the Principal, MIR.
TAYLOR Corson, and his assistants, Misses
|McCord, Harris and Pottenger.
If there was not true patriotism sufh-
cient to induce our citizens to do honor
to the memory of q. W. and his little
Ratchet, by celebrating his birthday on
Tuesday, Feb. 22d, 1881, a few of the
many friends did celebrate the sixteenth
anniversary of the marriage of Capt. P.
Folkerth and Miss Lizzie kirkpatrick,
lat Yellow Springs, Greene Co., O. The.
groom being at the time rust 81, and his
fair bride but "sweet s~ixteen,) at their
palatial residence ON south Main street,
| on the afternoon and evening of that day.
The residence, by the way, has just been
remodeled, modernized, and handsome
ly furnished with every department as
handiH arranged as the most fastidioas
could wish for. All of which is good ev-
idence that the bride and groom of six
teen years ago have shared the ups and
downs of life together, and since their
advent into Preble county, in 1862 kind
Providence. has smiled upon them, SO
kindly, that to-day they live surrounded
by all the luxuries that Kings and Queens
leyen might envy, and withal are always
delighted to extend their hospitaEGZtC
any and all who call upon them, Saald
know exactly how to handsomely enter
tain their guests. Their efforts to do so
upon this occasion could not be excelled,
and was fully appreciated. AT a season;
able hour the respective parties wen
home, one and all feeling that-it is gooG
to thusIy gather together annually in like
manner, and by so doing cement through
life the, friendship that existed in thu
past, to that intended tosbe in the flu
ture. Before going, however, srenewec
/ CONGRATULATIONS were eNtended to th'
host and hostess, with many wishesfha

Now, to say that ample justice was don
to the bountiful repast set before then
including thcTsubs*antiafs md a4.-tA
delicacies the season affords, togethe
t with the choicest of wines and sparkiin
i, champaign, would hardly express it; an
: although the marriage feast was ready q
1 4 p. M, and continued until IL at night
: yet there was enough left to feed a mu
t titude. They were the recipients OF sey
eral valuable presents-ssSSfang Yhic
were two pickle dishes and Shandsome
, ly decorated set of china ware, whic
: graced the table. . To whom shall wegfv
credit for these presents? we priVatel
asked the Capt. before leaving. Upo
It my word 1 don't knew, and can only SUI
4 mise, he answered. But of one thing yo
can rest assured, we heartily appreciat
them and will keep them and remembt
the occasion as being one of the me
pleasant that we have enjoyed since on
G wedding DAY.
