No one whose blood is impure can feel
well. There is a weary, languid feeling,
and often a sense OF Encouragement and
dependency. Persons having this feel
ing of lassitude and depression, should
take Ayers Sarsaparilla to purify and
v~italize the blood.
Rev. ]. II. Bratton and family wish to
express their thanks to their many
friends for the numerous and very valu-
able presents left at the parsonage on
Saturday and Monday. These express
ions of the love and esteem of the mem
bers and friends of the congregation are
most highly appreciated by the pastor
and family.

The boy who has been petted out of
all manliness and hardihood grows up to
be a weak, selfish, tyrannical man, who
imagines all ome are like his mother
willing slaves to his whims and capri
ces; he does not marry a creature like
himself and thus prevent two other lives
from being spoiled, but he conceals his
disposition and marries a girl whose heart
he breaks with his selfshness.
If you think of anything that can be
done to beautify or build up your town,
go and do it. Keep your capital at home;
patronize home industries; help your
merchants to sell more, SO they can sell
cheaper. Always get your work done in
your own town, if possible, subscribe and
pay for your home paper, don't steal or
borrow the reading of it. If you follow
these suggestions and your town does
not improve it will not be your fault.
The musical recital given by Prof. Otto
A.. Schmidt and his pupils, at DR.. P. M.
Small's parlors on Wednesday evening
of last week, was a most enjoyable affair.
The music was all excellent and the ex-
~ecution of each pupil showed the fine
training of Prof. Schmidt. The Profess
or gave some violin and violincella mu-
sic. No finer violinist has ever been
heard in Eaton, and the hearty encore
of the audience and kind response of the
Prof. showed how much it was enjoyed.
1t is hoped that Prof. Schmidt will give
us more such entertainments.

Here is a poetical effusion, the author
of which to us is unknown, buthe couldn't
have done better had he lived here, and
walked pavements in winter:
Bring ashes, hot ashes, and scatter them
thick,
Where ice has encrusted the fag-stones
and brick,
Where even the righteous are prone to
fall,
And the back-slider stands no show at
all.
Ashes of wood or ashes of Goals,
Bring ashes and strew them for the good
of our soles.
The New Year will open with the
brightest auguries. The world is at peace.
The great crops assure us an abundant
of food and clothing until the new har-
vests are gathered. Our country is rap
idly growing in wealth and population.
Certain political changes are impending,
and many years cannot pass without an
improvement in Dur civil service, and a
reform in our laws. In former genera
tons the earth was cursed by frequent
visitations of pestilence, but with qua
rantines and health boards there seems
no longer any danger of the plaques
which have SO often devastated the old
world. Never was the race in happier
circumstances than in this year of grace.

The law provides in Sec. 4734 of the
Revised Statutes that the Township
Trustees shall cause to be put up and
kept in repair, at the expense of the
township, at all such forks and cross
roads as are kept in repair for general
public travel and leads to some village,
depot or other public place, a post and
guide board containing an inscription in
legible letters, directing the way and dis
lance to the village or public place or
places situated IN each of such roads,
But notwithstanding this injunction made
imperative on Township Trustees, its
provisions are overlooked and neglected
by many of these public functionaries.-
The neglect of duty on the part OF Town
ship Trustees might be called to the at
%tention of the Prosecuting Attorney some
of these DAYS.
