cles.
Through the kindness of our friend
Perry Alexander, we took a ride over a
portion of the land of Jonathan .Switzer.
below Eaton, and must say that for a
neat, comfortable and we'll conducted
farm, it would be hard to beat. Jona-
than certainly lives at home.
We are told that our Miss Nancy May
or gives as a reason for not enforcing the
stock law, that it would interfere with
the family pasture. The scripture says
che that don'tprovide for his own house
hold is worse than a heathen." We are
pleased hat the boy has q level head on
something.
At the cigar makers picnic dance on
Saturday night last, at the south end of
Eaton, two young men of this place,
Charles Evans and Charles Becker, got
into a difficulty which resulted in Evans
whipping out a revolver and shooting
Becker in the right hand. Evans was
arrested and bound over in the sum of
$500. When will the business of young
men carrying about their person loaded
revolyers be stopped?
There is not a saloon in town but what
has a private entrance where they can
exchange for all the milk they need for
private use.-REGIsTER.

the '~'private' entrances of our saloons.
| We go in the front way when we want
anything, but there is a class of men who
slip around the back entrance to get
their drinks and still profess great tenn
perance.
We heartily concur in the opinion Of
some of our business men that cheap
Johns, peddlers, and so on, ought to be
charged a license commensurate with the
rents our business men must pay, and so
bring the peddlers nearer to an even
competition. These men pay no rent,
contribute nothing to the welfare or ad-
vantage of the city, take all the money
they receive out of the city; and fire.
%quently leave very poor goods behind.
Persons contemplating a cheap plea
sure trip this month should by all e
wait for Johnny McCord's excursion to
Petoskey, Mackinaw and Traverse city
over the Grand Rapids and Indiana R.
R., which passes through the finest and
most delightful country in the west and
a scenery that is really grand, while the
breezes are always cool and refreshing.
Fine sleepers and chair coaches run
through from Cincinnati without change.
1t is the cheapest and pleasantest excur-
sion that a be taken, and don't you
forget it. Hay fever subjects especially
should bear it in mind.
A few days ago we stopped and looked
at a spar OF fine horses on our Streets
They stood with a tight check-rein draw
ing their heads back into a most uncom-
Portable and strained position, while
their eyes were brought directly in the
blaze OF the fierce rays of the sun. The
position given by these tight check reins
is not pretty, but on the other hand, is
far from being graceful. Some peoples
taste or their humanity needs reforming.
The practice is a common one, and we
mention only one OF a number of cases
that can be seen every day.
On Saturday last there we're on our
streets over two hundred and fifty vehi-
cles of various kinds from all points Of
the country. We noticed leading farmers
from almost every township and nearly
all seemed to be purchasing or selling
something in the merchandise line or
agricultural products. Our merchants
are keeping large stocks and selling at
bottom prices, and our produce men are
paying fair prices and are dealing square
ly with the farmers for their produce
To this policy we can attribute our large
ly increased trade and business, and if
continued will yet add extensively to our
present prosperity.
At this season of the year when chole-
"a morbus and kindred complaints are
prevalent the matter of diet should be
carefully considered. Very few people
fully realize the danger incurred by eat
ing fruit tainted with decomposition OF
vegetables which have begun to ros.-
Fruits are sometimes made to appear
fresh by being s%prinkled with water
The only safe plan for housekeepers is
to closely scrutinize all purchases fol
supplies for the kitchen. 1t is better t.
pay a higher price than to be put of
with an inferior article. A little care ant
attention during the remaining days o
summer may prevent much sickness ant
! trouble.
The School Board met on Saturda,
evening last and reelected for the pri
mary departments the old corps of schoo
teachers, except Miss Cox. For teache
, of the High School, G. G. Miller, of CO
lunbus, was selected, and for assistant
A. Graves, of Whitewater, Ind. By resc
, luton it was agreed that the school terri
of the year should be but seven months

: and ending 3Oth day of April. The ST
perintendency is left in the same cond
ton it has been since the selection of on
