The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1884-04-24

by the name of Etter, of Fourmile, were
coming down Barron street last Friday
evening in a buggy, the horse became
frightened by the breaking of the belly
band and ran off, pitching both occu-
pants out, but fortunately injuring them
very slightly. The buggy was made al
most a wreck. It was a narrow escape
for both.
Remember the eminent specialists Drs.
Kitzmiller & K, of Piqua, O., will be at
Eagle Hotel, Eaton, Thursday May LIST,
one day only. They have been urged to
visit this city for several years and will
no doubt do a large business. Call early.

One who knows all about it says, that
when the first baby comes into the house
the happy father wants to hold it when
ever he can. This is parental PRIDE
When the second baby arrives the father
holds it only when he is compelled to-
This is parental forbearance. When the
third baby bounds into existence the
"told man" keeps late night at the lodge.
This is too much of the good thing.
Following is the text of the new jury
law passed by the Ohio Legislature. 'If
a juror has expressed or formed an opin-
ion as to the guilt or innocence of the ac-
cused, the court shall thereupon proceed
to examine such juror on oath, as to the
grounds of such opinion, and if such
juror says that he believes he can rem
der an impartial verdict Notwithstanding
such opinion, and if the court is satisfied
that such juror will render a n impartial
verdict upon the evidence, may admit
him as competent to serve in such case
as a juror.
There has been enough lost by citizens
in Eaton in grain margins in the past
two years to have established a manu-
factory in our midst that would give en-
ployment to fifty or seventy-ive hands,
and the spectators would 10Y have a
tangible value for their money and the
town be materially and permanently
benefited by the investment. Let US
all encourage manufacturing, and not
look to the right or left until we succeed
in building up our city to a front rank
position. No more money in .fgrain OPP
%tions," but liberal subscriptions for a
u~facturing purposes.
variety is the spice of life." In moth
ing is this more applicable than as to
foods. Selects list of foods that expert
ence has taught us are most acceptable,
and then from the list get a variety for
each day OF the week. Salt meats should
be used sparingly, because they are more
indigestible than fresh. Pies and rich
buildings try the digestive organs severe
ly, and cannot be safely INDUCED in by
adults, except they have vigorous out
door exercise. The quantity and quality
of food should depend upon what is re-
quired of the individual; just as the
amount of fuel requisite depends on the
work of a steam engine has to perform.
The Bible, when speaking of the spar
row market, quotes them az selling for a
farthing. This has long been thought to
be r~idiculously low, but now that we
have a more intimate acquaintance with
the bird, we believe it was high enough,
far more than they are worth, unless the
sparrows of Palestine were of a different
kind from those we imported from Eng.
land. 1t is safe to say that the authori.
ties in this country will give a farthing
and the bird beside to any one who will
clear our towns of this combative pest
These predatory nuisances have fought
every robin and sweet voiced songstel
away from the towns, and all the bird
music that falls on our ears is that of the
!, gloomy-hued sparrow, and it is about az
%melodious as the axle of a wagon shrek
ing for grease. Seeing that they have
never done any thing but fight and fight
: is it not about time that they shouldfn
ish their course and wear the martyr
E crown?
