The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1883-04-26

Our neighboring village Of Eldorado
had a fire on Wednesday of last week,
which scared the inhabitants almost out
of their boots. 1t looked so desperate
that a call was made on Richmond for a
fire engine, but fortunately before it got
off the call was countermanded. The
fire originated from a spark from a pass
ing locomotive igniting the hay in a barn
loft adjoining the business block of Nc
Coy, Silver & Baker, whose building was
destroyed though the stock of harness,
&C., was saved. The total loss will not
foot up wei $500, which is fully covered
by insurance.
To RENT-Five rooms in the Mitchell
property, East Main street. Apply on
the premises to Mrs. L. D. Crosley.
The question of which route the G. V.
W. & NJ. railway from Greenville will
run, has been postponed until the first
week in May, at which time the mag
mates that decide it will go over the sew
eral proposed lines and then settle the
matter. Under such circumstances we
rest easy about it coming to Eaton, be-
cause the gentlemen who have it in their
hands are men of good sense and excell-
ent judgement, and will at a glance see
the vast superiority and advantages of
running the road to Eaton, whether it
goes to Cincinnati IS an independent line
or connects with the G. II. &. D. for that
point. How are you, Bro. Hardkrider?
Ye editor and "better. half" visited
Surgeon A. H. Stephen and lady last
Saturday and Sunday, at the National
Home near Dayton, and were most ex-
cellently entertained by the DR.. and his
estimable lady. The DIR. has been suf-
fering several weeks from the effects of
a fall he received while passing out of
the Hospital during one of the "icy
times" last winter, but we are glad to
say to his many friends in this neighbor-
hood that he is on his ''pins'' again, and
hopes by constant prayer to o o be in
his usual good health. Through the
kindness of the DIR. we were shown over
the Hospital, the park, the conservatory
and many other places of note connected
with the Home and of interest to visitors.
The May issue of Demorest's Monthly
Magazine is exceedingly rich in literary
articles, and is decidedly one of the most
attractive numbers We have yet had of
this instructive and entertaining publica-
ton. "The Admiral's Ward" is conclud-
ed, and a new story, "Out of the World"
begins very pleasantly. Among the many
praiseworthy articles may be mentioned:
"Artin its infancy" "The Farm ofFlow-
ers," "The Bayeux Tapestry" ''The
Mannish Young Woman, " "The Record
of Women" and Gan English Glove
Factory" Jennie June gives another of
her articles, Chow we Live in New
York." and Mrs. Hungerford furnishes
some useful information about "Wed-
dings." "Home Art and Home Com
FORT" "Current Topics" and the vari-
GUS departments are all good. The poems
in this number are by 81. Inconnu,"
Ella Dietz, Miss E. B. Cheesborough,
Augusta De Bubna, Mrs. Wilson, and
Mrs. Mary E. Nealy. The illustrations
are varied and excellent, and include a
fine oil picture called 1.-THE Trio.' There
is no magazine better adapted to the
household than Demorest's, and its mod
crate price makes it available to all.
