The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1883-03-29
There is a heap of railroad boom


around Eaton again. Ithardly yer rains
but it pours. The people living here are
not very proud, and will c%heerfully ac-
cept any road that wants to run into the
city, no difference where it comes from
or who will construct it.
Council met on Monday evening last,
and after passing on a few bills appoint
ed Mayor Neal, Jas. d. Miller and J.. N.
Lake, a committee to examine the Opera
House and the different Churches in Ea-
ton as to the convenient modes OF egress
out of them in case of fire. The passages
out of the Opera House cannot help but
be condemned, as they are miserably
deficient. The whole building should be
as a place for public gather
ings in its present condition.
A nice line OF Laces and Embroideries
Just received at Walker & Nugent's.

Whisperings of a case OF incest are
waited from the village of Eldorado,
twelve miles north of Eaton. Some jour
nails seem to gloat over such d%eplorable
and revolving gossip, and hasten to give
it great prominence without waiting for
facts. We suppress the names connect
ed with the reported infamy, and hope
for the credit OF Preble county that there
is nothing in it. 1t is lamentable that
even a wink of intimation toward sea
dial will travel a hundred miles, before a
genuine case of Christian philanthropy
will see daylight.
OF all the months in the year March is
the most unamiable and unmannerly. 1t
not only pinches with cold, but smites
with heat; blows your coat into ribbons,
pelts with hail or blinds with driving
snow, or drenches with the cold and pitt
less rain. Then comes the sun, slanting
soft and cheerful rays upon the garden,
a daring crocus or a prim-
rose to look out from the withered leaves
and grass, but ere they al congratulate
each other upon their new creation, a
snow storm stiles all their pleas
ant words. There is no confidence to be
in March.

The Cincinnati, Washington and Bal
timore through line are fortunate in hav-
ing for the management of their Passen-
ger business in Cincinnati, so gentleman
ly, genial, accommodating and efficient
officer as T. P. BARRY, Esq, General
Passenger and Ticket Agent. Any of our
readers who want to go on a reliable
through route to the east, cannot do bet
ter than take the Cincinnati, Washing.
ton and Baltimore route for speed, com
fort and beautiful scenery. If the G. III
& D. road had such a liberal and gentle
manly Ticket Agent as Mr.. Barry, the
patrons of the two Eaton papers on the
line through the county, would not be
deprived Of the benefits of its Time Ia.
BILE. The managers of the road ought to
make a change in the Gen Pass. Agent,
1t would be healthy.

One of the most entertaining and use
full magazines that has come to us re
Gently is DEMoREsT's MONTHLY MAGA,
ZINE for April, which does not contain

profit and pleasure. "The Admiral:
Ward" is continued, and among the
shorter stories are ga Romance in Pur
ple," "An.April Adventure, ""Joe Bax
ter, Ranchman,'' and the "Story of the
Meelstrom,' a translation from The Nor
wegian. Jenny June gives another chap
ter of "How We Live in New York.
Miss Kate Sanborn an amusing sketch
entitled, "The Conundrum Of the Nine
teenth Century" Mrs. Hungerford on
of her popular articles, and Miss Hett'
Ward "Home Art and Home Comfort.
These, with many other articles of inter
est, and "Current Topics" and the va
rious departments, make up as interest
ing a number of this readable magazin
as we have yet had. Special attention
is given to the illustrations, and in thi
case with particularly happy results
"The Flight into Egypt" a steel er
craving, and the etching of Watts cele
brated picture, "Watchman, What of tn
Night?" being especially fine.
