The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1882-05-04

under the bossism of Capt. Geo. San
derson and ]. b. Bratton, Esq, who
succeeded Mr.. Sanderson. The pres
ent proprietor, j. Zeamer, Esq sue
eeeded Mr.. Bratton, and is a gentle
man of fine social qualities, sterling
democracy and high talent, who is
NOW assisted by j. NJ. Cooper, Esq,
one of the ablest and most popular
newspaper men of the State.
The Herald is the next oldest pa
per-has always been the organ OF
the opposition to the Democracy and
conducted with considerable ability.
The Sentinel has been published
about eight years in Carlisle by H.
K. PETER, Esq, whose journalistic
abilities, genial manners and pleasant
disposition has made his journal one
of the most popular Y e published in
the place. 1t is printed daily
and has attained a circulation unpre-
cedented in the history of daily news
papers in interior towns. Much Of
the success of the Sentinel is due
undoubtedly to the business qualif-
cations of his son WILLIAM, a young
gentleman of fine attachments and
exceeding genial, pleasant manners.
We wish them all still greater pros
perity.
tt seems that politics are ever pre-
sent in this life, wherever we turn,
and there is now in progress in the
Cumberland Senatorial District a
contest for Senator, the prominent
candidates being John B. Bratton,
Esq, our old "Boss," and H. K. PEI
fer, Esq, of the Sentinel. OF course
our s%ympathies are with former
employer, because of his long services
in the party, his eminent qualifica-
tions and ghstanding, socially and
politically If we had learned our
trade with Bro. PETER, whom we high
ly esteem, we might have been par
tial to him, but "auld Lang Syne,"
and early pleasant re%collections in
cline us to desire Mr.. B~ratton's sue

For over half a centuary there was
in Carlisle an sr~istocracy of wealth
and intelligence, composed of the
Parkers, Moores, Gibsons, Watts,
Eyes, Stiles, -Stevensons, Seymours,
Hamiltons, Blaines, Brisbins, Knox's,
and. others, among whom were as ge-
NAL gentleman and lovely ladies as
were ever born, noted throughout
the State for their beauty and anna
bility. There are but few represen-
t~atiyes of all these families now liv-
ing, most of them are "Over Thereof
There was other prominent families

and beautiful ladies, in this class
were the Twins, MeFeeleys, Mobiles,

Hays, Lambertons, Sipes, McPher-

since we first left the town, they have
almost entirely disappeared, died OF
removed to other places.
Our Father had four brothers liv-
ingi in the town, their families aggre
eating about sixty persons, and we
believe now there is but n man,
Mi. S. 81. Gould, and not q dozen fe-
male representatives o that large re-
{ lationship in Carlisle-the others re-
moved or died, so that in the place of
our birth we are a stranger
Carlisle has always been noted for
; the excellency Of it's hotels, with
which it has been beautifully sup
piled, but never in its history has 1t

der the proprietorship of Messrs.
Hoffman q Albright. The Florence
is an imposing brick edifee, central

this ancient and handsome town we
advise them to try the Florence;
