The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1883-01-25

The burning of the widow Miller's
chimney on east Somers street, last Mon
day morning, brought the engine and
boys out in good time with steam up rea-
dy for work. 1t was fortunate it was not
needed.
The yell of the newsboy in our streets
on Sunday, the jingle of the milk wagon
bells and the rattle of the livery vehi-
cles, ought to move our goody Council to
another stresolve." We don't see how
they can stand it.
1t is o in order for the present body
of city dads to 'tresolve" to reform them
selves. acknowledgement have shown
that they have been running the public
business rather loosely for the public
good.
At Washington C. H, the fire compa-
ny got out a subscription and the citi-
zens of the town subscribed enough to
purchase two horses for the department.
How would that work in Eaton. Try it,
boys.
An Ohio woman has planted six hus-
bands and on the tombstone of each she
has placed these affectionate Words
I"We will meet in heaven, husband
dear" Looks like trouble ahead, doesn't
it?
There has already been a number of
resolutions introduced into the Ohio Leg
islature to amend the constitution in re-
~lation to the liquor question. 1t is alto
gether likely that two or more such pro-
positions will be submitted to the voters
at the mex October election.
We would suggest to our city Council
that it provides some furniture for the
Opera House stage. Such as a stand,
sofa, half dozen decent chairs and a car
pet. It is what is wanted and due to
every speaker and respectable troupe
that engage the Hall.
Almanacs for 1883 can now be had at
all the drug stores Stree gratis for moth
ing" We mention this fact for the ben
eft OF that numerous class of mortals
who are too stingy to take a newspaper,
and get their supply of reading for the
year from the medical almanacs.
John Engel and Isaac Hickman, Exc
cutors of Isaac Hickman, deceased, will
sell at his late residence in Lanier town
ship, on the LIST day OF March, 1883, cat
tie, hogs, sheep, farm utensils, grain,
wheatain the field and household goods.
Also about 234 acres of good land lying
in sections No. 10 and 20, will be offered.
The Eaton Cornet Band will occupy
Stephens west side Hall for the next
year, and the boys promise there will be
no more indecencies committed in the
passage to and from the room or on the
back stairway. They are gentlemen and
know how to conduct themselves as gen.
tlemen. That is all we ask.
A resolution has been introduced into
the Ohio Legislature SO that Township
Trustees shall be elected for terms of
three years instead of one, and one elect

be two holding over. AT present the
three are elected each year, and often
all three of them are new ones.
Last Sabbath was a quiet day in Ea-
ton. The city was closed up and froze
up. The "resolve" of our goody Coun-
Gil was strictly observed. Only the jim
gle of the bells of the milk wagons, the
ringing of the church bells and the
"whoa" and ''get up" of the livery hos
tiers disturbed our religious town.
An exchange says: "The churches
have adopted a novel entertainment al
their fairs and festivals. Baskets are
provided, each containing supper for two
and the name of the lady who prepares
the same. These baskets are sold 10 the
gentlemen and the purchaser will be ex
pected to play the gallant to the lady
whose name he draws. This is some,
thing new under the sun.
Charles Walters and Miss Mollie Huff;
man, daughter of Harvey Huffman, were
united in wedlock at the residence Of the
bride'sparents on Thursday evening last
An excellent repast was served the invi-
ted guests, and the bride was the reel
pient Of several very handsome presents
We wish the young couple a long life o
uninterrupted joy and happiness.
One of our exchanges very pointed!
says: Patronize your own village black
smith, carriage maker and store keeper
help each other along; cultivate a prid'
in the progress and thrifty appearance
of your own community; cast out tina
selfish jealousy of a neighbours prospect
; ty. It is the mutual interest of all t.
have the largest possible number of pros
porous men in each community.
The man who tries to raise a famil
: without a newspaper in the house is
foolish man. There are stores of know
edge in the printed pages in the cours
g of a year, and the daily reading of tn
i paper leaves an impression. There j
1 wisdom acquired by the most careles
reader and a profound knowledge of me
and things, which will be very useful t
our boys and girls.
e The spring elections are a%pproachin
and the city and township officers wi
be elected for the ensuing year. TAI
payers are interested in securing goo
men to fill these offices. The taxes
the city or township will be increased
diminished just as bad or good manager
are placed in Office. 1t is not too SOC
N for the taxpayers of Eaton, in the ligl
of recent events, to be discussing thes
matters in a sober and quiet way-ar
! outside of party prejudice.
