The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1883-02-08

IN this Ountr says an american Jour-
nalist, when a girl wants a husband and
her fellow does not come to time, the
lass-sues him-for breach of promise.
In view of the number of cases of rape
committed daily the laws of Ohio should
be amended to make the penalty more
severe than at present. The crime of
rape should be punished Is severely as
that of murder.
Jesse Thomas, Morristown, says
Browns Iron Bitters gave me relief
when suffering from weakness, loss of
appetite and Indigestion"
George w. Fudge will sell at his resi-
dence six miles north of Eaton, on Thurs
day, Feb. 18th, horses, a span of good
mules, milk COWS, sheep, threshing ma
chine, farm utensils, household goods,
and many other articles.
If a girl wants to be romantic, the
proper way is to send up a toy balloon
with a card attached, asking the finder
to correspond with her. A Michigan
girl tried it and got a letter from her
brother in Indiana, who found the bal
loon and told her not to be a fool.
1t is wonderful but true that you can
save from 25 to so per cent. by buying
Overcoats, Suits, &C., &C., now at the
great clearance sale at Jos. Woerner's.
There were men in Eaton engaged in
the Chicago gambling and swindling
mutual investment clubs" who at any
time will hold up both hands to hang a
person that would play a game of "seven
up" even in fun! That is what is term
ed "swallowing a camel and choking at
a gnat."
Ed. Orr will begin a protracted meet
ing in the Christian Church next Sum
day. Rev. C. L. jackson, "the Young
Evangelist" will be present and con-
duct the meetings. The community is
cordially invited to attend these meet
ings.
Gould, of the Eaton DEMOCRAT, is in
clined to grumble because he cannot buy
a beefsteak there on Sunday. What does
he want to eat beef on Sunday for, any
way? Why don'the eat chicken.-Wash-
ington G. H., Register.
Can't get 'em now-they roost too
high.
It is only men who have become cal
lous to the world and strangers to the
sentiments of compassionate love, that
are able to play with unconcern the parts
of prosecutors and slanderers, and that
can derive pleasure from continual ma
lightly and revenge. There are a few
such in Eaton.
Two important bills have been passed
by the Ohio Legislature. One to pro-
vide for the restoration Of wills when the
same are lost or destroyed; the other al
lowing a woman to testify in behalf of
her husband in criminal cases, and also
giving a husband the same privilege in
behalf of a wife.
If you see AIRY a Christian member of
a church in Eaton pause in the middle
of the street or sidewalk and gaze about
him with a wild look in mis- eye, don't
be alarmed that he is going into a fit of
apoplexy or paralysis. He is only try
ing to work himself up to the point of
lying out of his gambling operations in
the Chicago mutual investment Club"
Seeing is believing! Come and see
the immense bargains in Overcoats and
Suits for men and boys, at Jos. Woer-
ner's.
When a person gets up in church and
tells how much of the love of God dwells
in his or her heart, and by his or her
conduct proves that malice and envy
abounds in that same heart toward ever
church brethren and sisters, everybody
knows that the individual is a hypocrite
or mistaken, because the love of God
cannot exist in a heart filled with NAL
ice, from the ~fullness of which the tongue
uttereth ISLANDERS against neighbors.
The managers of the Lyceum inform
US that Romanzi, the greatest living vic.
%linist, with his full Concert Company
will follow Tilton. Their date is Satur.
day, February 18th. In Romanzi the
people of Eaton will have the pleasure o.
having the greatest violinist in the world
and whose reputation extends through
out not only America but all Europe
He is Hungarian by birth and educa
ton.
An idler says he likes to attend oul
court when an important case is on hand
because it is the cheapest amusement hi
!, can find. The fighting of the lawyers
!, the badgering OF witnesses, the faces o
!, the jurors, the crowded court room, tn,
excitement of the verdict, make it, in hi
opinion, not only a very cheap amuse
ment, but as uncertain as a horse race
, as laughable as q circus, as instructiv,
} as a library, and as exciting as a bas'
ball match.
Such values in Mems Suits, for men
as now offered for $3.50, $3.50, S., Sc, SO
$40 and SIP have I've been seen be
fore, at Jos. Woerner's.
By a bill just introduced into our Obi
General Assembly it is proposed to max
it part of the duty of a Board of Healtl
: to make regular and special inspection
= of all schools and school buildings. Thi
7 is a good proposition. Local Boards c
Health have under general legislation
everywhere, we suppose, the authorit
s to make such inspections, but they neg
lect them, and a statutory Requirement
of this nature would be a good additio
to all sanitary codes. Half the childre
get their maladies at school. Our oil
= north school building would be condemn
e ed by every Board of Health that woul
inspect it.
