PILES.

PILES are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some at
fiction of the kidneys or neighboring
organs. AT times, symptoms of indi-
gestion are psesent, as flatulency, I'M
easiness of the stomach, etc. a mois-
ture, ike perspiration, producing a
very disagreeable itching, particular
ly at night after getting warm in bed,
is a very common attendant. Blind,
Bleeding and Itching Piles yield at
once to the application of DR.. Bosan-
kos Pile Remedy, which acts directly
upon the parts affected, absorbing the
Tumors, allaying the intense itching,
and effecting a permanent cure, where
all other remedies have failed. Do
not delay until the drain on the sys-
tenn produces permanent disability,
but try it and be cured. Price SO

off Mr.. Davis is incompetent to fill the
place of superintendent of our schools We
don't want him any more than any other
Citizen "-DEMoCRAT.
"That's just it. Those having the best
right to know say he is not. But the
Democrat man says: "We know the
charge of incompetency is false" How
does he know it? Has he examined him
in Greek and geography? We haven't;
we know nothing about Greek and very
little about geography, but others who
do know say he is deficient in these, and
they are not school teachers or school
examiners, either, but are in a position
to acknowledgements. .5la~ 6.f
No, we have not examined Mr.. Davis
in Greek, geography, OF any other branch
pertaining to the qualifications of a SUI
perintendent, but Mr.. Davis holds a pa
per given him by the faculty of the Oxford
College at the time he graduated, whichis
indubitable evidence that he was exam
ined in these branches, and that he was
not deficient in any one of them. 1t may
be, however, that there are some smart
er Greek, Latin, grammar and geogra-
ply scholars in Eaton, than the gentle
men who composed the Oxford faculty
at that time. If SO, we would suggest
they apply for the Superintendency OF
our schools. But it is all bosh. His re-
commentators and papers all show him
to be as fairly competent as any person
that ever applied for the place, and un.
less the enemies of Mr.. Davis regard the
gentlemen of the Oxford faculty and al
others recommending him for the frs
term, as either fools or knaves, they had
better drop the incompetency cry, fol
the facts are largely against them.

DO Your DUTY.

Eaton to-day is the most promising lit
tie city in the State, and with our St.
Clair Springs we will soon have a ma
tional reputation. Next Sunday will be
our rush. McCord, with q staff of six
men, is putting out excursion paper for
Eaton by the ton. Five thousand pos
ters and fifty thousand small bills are in
circulation for Eaton's interests. Spe-
cial trains will be here from Dayton,
Richmond, Hamilton and Cincinnati.-
Write to all your friends and have them
come and see US next Sunday. Make a
boom for our town.

The Lima Republican, in telling of the
arrest of Frank Norris for stealing a coat
and vest at that place and shipping them
to Herman Fahlein at Richmond, says
He has been a "masher" from the
word go. He has in his possession some
of the sickliest love letters from young
ladies in various places he has been. A
reporter for this paper was shown some
of Fahlein's letters, and they reflect Sc
riously against young ladies in Green
vile, Richmond, Middletown, Eaton and
New Paris. ,ea
Comment on the above is useless. We
have written paragraph after paragraph
on the subject. About the only cure for
such silly girls, would be to publish the
''sweet scented" epistles with the full
attached,

of Eaton. They number about 400, part
of whom arrived on Sunday evening, the
remainder by a special train on Monday
morning at 12:30. The Regiment was
formed in line at the depot, headed by
the excellent band of music accompany
ing it, and marchedin good order through
our principal streets to their camp
grounds. The men presented a soldierly
appearance and made a favorable i'm
preston. The business houses and most
of the private dwellings were decorated
| with flags and the sidewalks were lined
with men, women and children to ex-
tend the boys a hearty welcome. The
Regiment will remain in camp until
Monday next, and we trust the gentle.
men composing it will so comport them
| selves that the citizens of Eaton will have
no harsh words to bestow over theil
coming. G.

mand; Lieutenant Colonel John A. John

On the strength OF a report that Gov.
Foster and Staff would be here to re-
view the troops on next Sabbath, the
Eaton ministers, Mayor, Representative
Sheppard, and some of our prominent
business men, made haste to petition the
Governor not to commit such an outrage
against the peace, dignity and Christiani-
ty of our citizens, and forwarded said pa
per to the Capital of the State, whereupon
his private Secretary writes to these hor-
riied goody good people to keep OF their
shirts, that Gov. Foster has no intention
of doing anything of the kind, did not
know the O.. N. G. was camping here,
and that the Governor vas absent in
Missouri, and would not be back at the
time named for the reviewl We breathe

The Fourth of July at st. Clair Springs,
celebrated by the G.. A. R. of Eaton, was
not the most glorious and brilliant affair
that ever occurred in this "neck of
woods" as vas to be expected from the
efforts and preparations of those who
took the business in hand. However,
considering the farming interests and ell
other things, it wasn't so bad, as the
turn out in the afternoon could not have
numbered less than twelve or fifteen
hundred. The program was filled as
closely as it could. But one of the speak
ers announced made his appearance
Charles Anderson, Esq, of Greenville,
O., who addressed those interested in
speaking on such occasions, in a very
entertaining address that we have heard
highly complimented. The creased pole
was climbed, the w~heelbarrow race came
off as well as all the other amusements
announced. The day closed at the Springs
with a brilliant display of fireworks,
given by a few of the guests of the "Glen
House." .z-s-

Rev. Father Wilds'
EXPERIENCE.

The Rev. z. p. WiIds, well-known city
missionary in New York, and brother
of the late eminent Judge Wilds, of the
Massachusetts Supreme Court, writes
as follows:
"7s E.. Il ST., Ne,c York, Nay 16, 1889.
MEssRs. J. C. AVER s Co., Gentlemen:
Last winter / was troubled with a most
uncomfortable itching humor affecting
more especially my limbs, which itched so
intolerably Mt night, and burned SO intense
ly, that l could scarcely bear any clothing
over them. l was also a sufferer from u
severe catarrh and catarrhal cough; my
appetite was poor, and my system a good
deal run down. Knowing the value of
AYERS SARSAPARILLA, by observation OF
many other cases, and from personal use
i'll former years, 1 began taking it for the
above-named disorders. My appetite I'M
proved almost from the first dose. After
a short time the fever and itching were
allayed, and all signs of irritation of the
were also cured by the same means, and
my general health greatly improved, until
it is now excellent. / feel a hundred per
cent stronger, and l attribute these results
to the use of the S~ARSAPARILLA, which
l recommend with all confidence as the
best blood medicine ever devised. 1 took
it in small doses three times a day, and
used, i'll all, less than two bottles. 1 place
these facts at your service, hoping their
publication may do good.
Yours respectfully, Z.P. WILDS."
The above instance is but one of the many
constantly coming to our notice, which prove
the perfect adaptability of E SARsA-
PARILLA to the cure of all diseases arising
from impure or impoverished blood, and o
weakened vitality.

Hoadley.

Philadelphia, Gan effort was % ade
to see Judge Hosdley to-day with regard
to the statement published that he would
withdraw from the Democratic party in
Ohio. but he could not be found. His
physician, DR.. Bartholomew, was then
called upon and said with emphasis: ut is
right and proper that such statements be
promptly contrsdicted, should like to
say Judge Hoadley is a candidate for
Governor Of Ohio and he will return TO
his canvass in a short TINA. AS soon as
I consider he Is equal to the exertion he
will actually re.enter the fight. There is
no use trying to see Judge Hoadley and
I have given positive directions that he
be in absolute repose and quiet. l do not
wish it to be understood that he cannot
talk and go out; he eau, but as there is
no necessity for the exertion l believe be
should run no risks"
