1t is a curious coincidence that if tn,
cholera should break out in this %countr,
this year it will be the third time it ha
done so at intervals of seventeen years
In 1882 it ragged violently here; so did i
in 1S49, and again, but more mildly, il
1866.

How many know that a horse gets W
before and a COW gets up behind, ant
the COW eats grass from her and the
horse eats to him? How many know
that a surveyors mark on q tree never
gets any higher from the ground or what
trees bear fruit without bloom?
One of the Republican candidates fol-
a county office told a Democrat that he
was bound to have 81 of the delegates
from Washington township, if money
would get them! He expects to pur.
chase his way into public Office. Will

Jacob Reinhard, jr., of Columbus, sent
last Saturday two Carrier pigeons to w.
G.. NJ. Brookins, American Elk. Agent at
Eaton, to be turned out on Sunday
morning for the purpose of seeing how
long it would take them to get back
home. Mr.. Brookins set them at liberty
ON Sunday morning about Z o'clock and
they made a straight shoot in the direc-
ton of Columbus.
A jam of buggies from camp-meeting
on Main street last Sunday evening, was
the cause of upsetting n in which AID.
| Miller and wife were seated and throw
ing them both out. Fortunately moth
ing more serious than Mrs. Miller re-
ceiving some slight bruises was the re-
suit. 1t is surprising that more acct
dents do not occur from the reckless
driving of fools through our Streets
Every person guilty of it should be ar
rested and fined. Break it up.
The colored camp-meeting that opened
at our fair grounds on the I'd inst, closed
on Sunday night last. 1t was not as well
~patronized as on the two former years,
and We doubt if it will be tried again
On Sunday the crowd was quite large,
numbering probably three or four thou
sand, and everything passed off very
quiet and orderly. Camp-meetings are
not necessary in these days of enlighten-
ment and numerous places of worship in
every town and village.

1t is safe to say that nor than one
half of the protesting christians in this
country are ~intemperate in many things,
to SOME extent, not excepting even
Preachers. Many OF them use liquors
or beer from time to time. They use it
in food if not as a beverage. They use
tobacco, which is one of the prime u
es of intemperance or the desire for
drink from which comes intemperance.
They are Incorporate in their anger,
their passions, their prejudices, their
political hates.
The reunion of the soldiers and sail
ors' of Preble county; held in the grove
of Mr.. Frank Pierce near Camden, on
Thursday and Friday of last week, was
a very large success, and reflects great
credit on the Mayor and the citizens of
Camden for the perfect manner in which
all the preliminary arrangements were
carried through. 1t is estimated that
from 5000 to 10000 persons were on the
ground on Friday, and all satisfactorily
provided for in the way of eatibles. The
town was beautifully and handsomely
decorated. Several good speeches were
made, and everything seemed to pass of
pleasantly and satisfactorily, although
Fraud Hayes, Dan. Voorhees,, John Sher,
man, Judge Hoadly, Durbin Ward, nor
any of the big gun speakers advertised,
were present. Camden has a Mayor.
Don't fill the system with quinine ii
the effort to prevent or cure Fever and
Ague. Ayers Ague Cure is a far more
potent and preventive and remedy, witt
the advantage of leaving in the body ne
poisons to produce dizziness, deafness
headache, and other disorders. The pro
prietors warrant it.
The Prohibitionists of Preble county
met at the Opera House in Eaton, OF
Thursday of last week to organize ant
nominate a ticket. The convention wa
not so large as in other years, but re
spectacle, quiet and sober, and every
thing indicated that they meant bust
ness and were in earnest in prosecuting
their dogma. The meeting was callet
to order by putting Judge J. Chambers
of Eaton, in the chair, and G. w. Bloom
of New Paris, as Secretary. Judge Cham
bers makes IN excellent presiding Office
of a convention. He dispatches all bu
siness without the usual routine of un
necessary t~om-foolery generally carrie
out on such occasions. He don't sit lik
a bump on a log waiting for some one i
the audience to "pop up" and bore tn
crowd with a proposition of some kin
entirely out of place and not pertinent t
the meeting, but he calls for the regula
business and pushes it along until di'
posed of. We like that, and wish a
presiding officers of political meeting
