Milton Spacht died in Eaton On Satur-
day last, after a very short illness, from
the effects OF blood poisoning, aged So
years, 9 months and Is days. He was a
man of unassuming character, strictly
honest and was well liked by his neigh
bors and friends. His wife preceded
him to the land of rest about two years
ago. His funeral took place on Monday
morning last, with services in the M. E.
Church by its pastor.

Pork is cheap this year in comparison
with what it was last year at this time.
A barrel of pork cost, in the principal
markets of the country as much as SOL
so a year 70, while the price to-day is
down to 5000. Ribs cost a year ago in
Chicago S11.75, and are now down to
1913 or less. Lard rose to $l2.1 10 in May,
and has of late been sold at 1920. Any
one who is fond of pork ought to be fair
ly well satisfied with its cheapness this
year.

There is nothing that will advance the
cause of Democracy SO much as the cir
culation of Democratic newspapers. Re
publicans understand this and support
their papers literally. Let Democrats
follow their example, in this matter at
least, and help spread Democratic prin-
ciples among the people. Now, at the
commencement of these long winter eve
nings is a good time to inaugurate this
good work, and thus help to educate peo-
pie to the doctrines advanced by the
Democratic party. The DEMOCRAT should
have at the very least a thousand more
subscribers in PEBBLE county. Won't the
Democrats IN each township in the coun-
ty help us to increase our list?

The destruction of barns in this coun-
ty are of alarming frequency Of late
Only a few weeks ago the large barn OF
Mr.. Buckner Deem was destroyed with
all its contents, since which time several
others have burned, and last week again
the one on the Morningstar farm south
east of Eaton, belonging to Frank Fudge.
Mr.. B~utterbaugh lives on the place and
lost three horses, a calf, a lot of hay and
other articles, on which there was no in
surance. Mr.. Fudge had $500 insurance
on the barn in the Ohio Farmers Com
pany. The origin of these fires is always
shrouded in mystery, but no matter from
what cause it behooves everybody to
carefully watch around their premises.
