On account of the death of the mother

On account of the death of the mother
of Minister Orr, he will be absent from
his post next Sabbath, and perhaps the
Sunday following.
w. G. NJ. Brookins dined his Sabbath
school scholars on Saturday last at his
residence. Such kind exhibitions o flove
and affection for scholars from their
teacher does a heap of good.
Hogs in Eaton are now worth from
$3.50 to $500. So Henry Pundt inform
ed us last Monday, and he is in the bu-
siness. So is Tom Wilkinson and Swish
er & Conger, and they all seem to be
busy.
Every person living in any county in
Ohio ought to take a county newspaper.
A great many take city weeklies, but
they get no home news from these sheets.
In ~patronizing foreign papers, home
newspapers are often neglected. When
anyone wants something to send abroad
to represent his county, he always sends
his home paper. The way to make these
home papers a little better than they
would otherwise be is to give them a lib
eral patronage. There are hundreds of
men in Preble county who do not take
any paper published in the county. They
know nothing about the home news out
side their immediate neighborhoods.-
The DEMOCRAT ought to find its way into
every household. 1t will cost you only
$3.50 per year. If those who already
take the DEMocRAT will call the atten-
ton of their neighbors who do not take
it, to the merits of the paper, they can
aid US very materially in increasing our
subscription list.

PETERsoN's MAGAZINE for January
reached US in advance, and is altogether
the most superb number we have ever
seen, even of this favorite lady's-book.
There are two beautiful steel-engravings:
Gin the Orchard" after a picture by Mil
lais, and Lost on the Alps" by the hard
ly less famous Riviere. In addition,
there is a. double size f~ashion-plate en-
graved and printed from steel, and color
ed by hand an exquisite affair. "Peter-
son" is now the only magazine that gives
these Bankruptcies. But the gem of the
number is a colored pattern for a border
for a curtain, or chair-stripe, ETC., etc.,
perhaps the costliest single embellish-
ment EVER given in a magazine as the
publisher says, it would alone costs fifty
cents at retail. This is presented to
every subscriber as a New Years gift.
The price of this popular lady's-book is
but $500 a year, with great deductions to
clubs, and valuable premiums to the per-
son getting up the club. Address Chas.
J. Peterson, 3O6 Chestnut Street, Phila-
delphia, Pa.

Mood smoked tobacco is not desirable

sumers has undergone so radical a
change that no manufacturer can use it
