The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1882-12-21

Whenever it rains our principal streets
are in a horrible condition. The citizens
should be thankful that the blessed snow,
like a mantle of charity, cover the nui-
sance and the sins of the Republican
city government from the sight of stran-
gers.

Merchants say that there is no better
way of testing the purity of silk than the
simple one of burning a sample; if it
burns quickly: flares and blazes, it is
partly cotton, or some other cheap stuff
is mixed with it; if it burns slowly and
makes an ash, it is silk.
The price of green apples is up until
this fruit has become a luxury to be en-
ioyed only by people with a bank ac-
count. They retail at fifty to. sixty cents
a peck, and not a very good article at
that. Dealers say the supply is scanty
and will remain SO.

The lecture of DIR. Jas. Hedley, "Suni
ny Side of Life" on Friday evening last
at the Opera House, was well received
and seemed to be highly appreciated by
the large audience present. There were
many excellent home thrusts in the lee
ture, but nothing that to us exhibited
more than ~mediocrity in the lecturer.
Joe Woerner occupies three rooms with
his business in Eaton now. Two on Bar
ron and one on Main street. He attri-
butes his wonderful increase of trade and
business to the use of printers ink. Ask
him and he will tell you so. He has
doubled his trade more than three times
over since he commenced here, and does
more than any other two houses in Ea-
ton. Printers ink, properly used, will
build up a business for any mar of en-
terprise. Try it.
We sometimes meet with an unspeak-
able Christian. He is the kind who has
fellowship in the same church with an
other, with whom he will not speak. He
will not go to him alone and tell him the
trouble, neither will ne treat him as well
as he does a dog, for he refuses to speak
to him. Certainly such a spirit comes
not from above. 1t is no use to profess
faith with such a r~evengeful spirit. No
use to pray or talk, nobody will, or can
believe that the spirit of God abides in
such a heart. There is no church histo-
'ry that contains a useful word or act of
such an ~unspeakable Christian.

ingl An example should have been
made OF the young man for carrying con-
cealed weapons. What an escape of an
innocent and joyous soul being sent into
eternity? Every person found with a
loaded revolver OF his person should be
arrested, fined and imprisoned. The bu-
siness is too common among our young
bucks.
