It is estimated that s22, OOo, 900 worth
of candy is manufactured in this country
every year. Nearly the whole of this is
consumed by young girls. Men don't
care for it, children are not allowed to
eat much, and married women don't of

The Cleveland and Hendricks Club of
Eaton is still on the increase. Philip
Miller has been elected Captain, which
gives it another boom. Mr.. Hasten be-
ing unable to attend the meetings, n. L.

The Democratic County Convention
last year selected candidates who did
not prowl around 'ssetting up delegates
before the primaries or the convention
was held. The Republican convention

Notwithstanding the grandeur, nobili-
ty and dignity that is said to belong to
labor, these summer days lead a great
many people to think that a little idle

good for this world.

On his road home from Eaton last Sat
urday afternoon, the two horse team of
William Nerron took fright and ran
away, throwing him under the wagon,
which passed over his left leg, breaking
it in two places above the ankle. Drs.
Small and Michael dressed his fractures,
and we are pleased to say he is getting
along finely.
We are not in favor OF rewarding with
Office blatant, rampant and clustering
partizans for the "dirty work. they may
do for the party, but We do hold that a
man ought TO at least contribute enough
of his "sinews of war; toward the sue
cess of his ps,ty, that he would be known
in it as a member, before he hobs up and
demands a "fat take from its spoils.-H
We think every man with a grain Of COM
mon sense Will agree with US on the pro-
position.
We know Of nothing which aids both
country and town more than a success
full fair, and it is a public institution in
which all should interest themselves. 1t
is now time that the people OF the
try should begin to think about the fair,
which viii come off in less than two
months. Farmers and stock men should
not delay in the selection of their show
animals, SO as to have them in proper
condition by fair time. Also, the people
of the town should make Up their minds
to contribute their mites toward the sue
cess of the enterprise. 5p

neglect numbered 1885 cases; cruelty

teresting to remark that the wives

the husbands.
Undismayed by the death of Vennor
or by his own failure as a prophet last
year, Virgins is out with another pro-
phecy: This time he puts it far enough
ahead so that he a reap notoriety and
shekels before the failure of his prophecy
becomes apparent. His great storm,
which is to devastate the country, is set
down for September 10Th and goth, 1887.
He further says that between that peri
cd and the present, the heaviest storms
will occur as follows: September 1928,

The lecture on the subject of "Ohio,"
by Prof. Manley, given at the Opera
House last Wednesday evening, was a
very ably prepared and well delivered
effort. He is certainly a strong man in
the school work, and from the material
at hand gave more valuable information
