The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1883-10-04

Elderberries are not sonamed because
they are older than other berries, but get
the name from the fact that an elder OF a
church first discovered their color by sit
ting down on a bunch at a picnic.
1t used to be the festive grasshopper,
the potato bug, the army worm and the
hog cholera. This year it is foods, earth
quakes and cyclones. Men constantly
need reminders that they are not here to
stay.
The girls are now shaking out their
old dresses, ripping them up and figuring
on how much it VIII cost to make them
over into new ones by buying enough
new goods for the waist, sleeves and
skirt the buttons are as good as ever.
The farmers have had a difficulty in
securing seed corn heretofore, and the
prospects are that seed will be scarcer
than ever next year.. Seed wheat is
none of the best, either. We hope for
better times for the farmer.
1t is an old belief that we never have
a full crop of corn and of acorns the same
year. 1t looks like the saying will hold
good this year. The acorn crop is said
to be very large, and the corn crop is by
nc means encouraging for a very large
yield this season.
Ifyour hair is turning gray, don't use
poisonous dyes which burn out its life
and produce many diseases of the scalp.
Ayers Hair Vigor is positively harm
less, and will restore the natural color OF
the hair, stimulate it's growth, and bring
back its youthful gloss and beauty.
+, The body of young VIM. Gift, son Of
John Gift of this place, who was shot in
Hannibal, Mo. on Saturday evening last,
arrived here on Tuesday evening and
was escorted to the home of his parents
by the cigar makers of Eaton. We are
not informed as to the particulars of his
unfortunate death.
The ladies of the Universalist Church
will hold a Floral Fair in the church, or

also for the best display of cut flowers
The "Boy Violinist" is expected, ant
will give entertaining selections. Oys
tiers and ice cream will be furnished, ant
a general good time is anticipated. Ad

Among the many premiums awarded
at u County fair, we believe there wa
none more honestly and justly give,
; than the one on the work of P. Schnei
der, of the Richmond, Ind, city carriag
and buggy manufactory. His display O
carriages, buggies, jaggers and phmton
was very fine and although largely con
tested by Dayton and other manufactur
ers, every vehicle he had on exhibition

t wear and tear, and warrants every 10

8 advise them to visit Mr.. Schneider's e.
