take nothing else.
Mrs. Ressler entertained quite a party
of old and young folks at the Reichel
House, last Saturday evening, in honor
of her son Henry's 21st birthday. 1t was
the biggest kind of a surprise to the
young man.
An exchange puts a solemn truth in a
novel and pungent way. when it says that
"some men wear their best rousers out
in the knees in winter getting religious,
and the seats of their pants out in the
summer backsliding."
The proportion of cigar makers who go
insane is larger than in any other pro-
f~ession. AS an exchange says, constant
ly fixing up old cabbage leaves to repre-
sent pure Havana is enough to make
anybody go crazy after awhile.

each bottle of Shiloh's Catarrh Rene
dy. Price so cents. Sold by Webb Sc

The most unfortunate of women is the
minister's wife. When he reads his SER
mons to her after he has just completed
writing them, there is no congregation
present with new bonnets to draw her
mind away from his words.
The Republican convention should
have given the candidacy of County
Commissioner to Thomas Jefferson
Larsh. He is a "fxed institution" in
the party and the Court House, and de-
serves something for his faithfulness.
Don't patroniAe a travelling quack doc
tor. Good doctors don't need to travel.
Such can get n lucrative practice where
ever they want to locate. The fellows
that can't stay in a town more than a
week at a time deserve watching more
than ~patronizing.
The new and handsome conveyance
purchased in Philadelphia by Mr.. Deem,
to convey passengers from Eaton to st.
Clair Springs, commenced running last
Saturday. 1t resembles a street car and
rides as easy as a spring-seated rocking
chair.
The Council seems to hang fire on a
Telephone for the Engine room. On
small matters that are necessary and
should be acted on promptly, this Coun-
Gil is a conundrum. Look at the enforce
ment of the stock and dog law. Let us
vote our Mayor a brass collar.

How does the passage from Colossians,
I'd chapter, 10th verse, strike those
sumptuary gentlemen who feel that they
are called upon and qualified to set them
selves up as guardians of the balance CT
the community:
"Let no man therefore judge you in
meat, or in drink, or in respect of a holy
day, or of the new moon, or of the Sab
bath day."
1t is said the attendance at the Con-
cord school of philosophy is d~iscourag-
ingly small this year. 1t is proposed to
locate it at some place in the west here
after. Bring it to Eaton. We need a
school of philosophy bad to teach our
old fossils that this city will remain and
be inhabited after they are dead and for
gotten, and that if the old settlers gone
before us, had pursued the same policy
they are now, Eaton would be stick
ing in a swamp no larger that New Hope.

The soldiers reunion held near Cam
den on last Thursday, was quite a sue
cess, the crowd in attendance being es-
timated from 1000 to 5000. The vii
lage of Camden was handsomely deco
rated with banners and flags, and the
preparations made by its hospitable citi-
zens for the entertainment and comfort
of the soldiers at Pierce's grove, were all
that could be asked or expected. The
day was pieasant-the vocal and instru-
mental music excellent, and the speech
es and toasts interesting, and everybody
seemed to enjoy themselves on the occa-
sion. The managers of it feel proud OF
its grand success, and well they may, for
such it was in every particular.
An itinerant scissors-grinder, umbrel-
la-mender and fortune teller, was found
on Monday afternoon last living in the
woods east of West Alexandria, in an in
sensible condition. He was brought to
Eaton by VIM. Campbell in a spring
wagon and conveyed to the County
House, where he died in a few hours af
