es, in a trough. We never did approve
of fixing up mahogany tables with mar
BILE tops for hogs.
Quantity in medicine is no indication
of value. Ayers ~Sarsaparilla is consen'
trated and powerful requires a smaller
dose, and is more effective, dose for dose
than any other Sarsaparilla. 1t is the
best of all blood medicines.
The base ball nuisance on the street
has commenced. We hope u Marshal
will nip the business in the bud. Boys,
if you want to play base ball, there il
plenty of vacant ground in the suburbs
of our town where you take no risks, on
ly on your own persons.
OF course the present new Corporation
officials will cut down our taxes. That
is what the citizens meant when they
nominated them and what they meant
when they elected them. The ex-May-
or's suggestions amount to nothing but
arrogance and presumption.
Reports made to the Farmers Club OF
Montgomery county, at the April meet
ing, show that the wheat on the low and
fiat lands promises but one-half a yield,
and on rolling lands a fair crop. The
oat prospect is good. Clover has been
generally frozen out. Fruit prospects
are good.
Governor Hoadly has invited General
Samuel Smith, of Dayton, to organize a
new regiment to take the place of the
present Fourth. Preparations are now
making to organize a new regiment, in
which Dayton, Springfield, Middletown,
Hamilton, Germantown, Miamisburg and
Eaton are to be represented.
We know a person in Eaton who "chins
it" a heap about his neighbors' drink
ing, that gets a pint flask slyly filled two
or three times a week ''for his wife's
inirmities," slips it into his sweet
breeches pocket and consumes every
drop ofitI How is that for a temperance
apostle?
Mayor Neal stepped out with a mani
festo! Why the devil didn't he follow
the line he suggests himself? The "hind
sights" of all official failures are always
better than their "fore-sights." His pre-
sumption is unprecedented in the history
of the Mayorship of Eaton or any other
city or village! Shades of Washington's
farewell, gently cover US o'er!!!!

Its business men are enterprising and
take great pride in pushing it to the
front. We admire such pluck, and as
long as such live men as Drs. Bohn and
Ferguson, Henry Payne, Benz. Myers,
Jack Danser, lie. Craig, ESQ.,, the Fow-
lers and a few others stand by the town,
it is bound to go ahead. Success to it.

ORANGE JUDD, Editor of the "Ameri-
can Agriculturist for some thirty years,
but unconnected with its business man
agement for a year Or two past, has late
ly retired from its editorial department
and located in the West. He desires to
gather a complete "Postal-C Card Alum"
of his old Readers and Friends, and re-
quests them all to send him now a Postal
giving their present location and address,
naming also, when convenient. the years
in which they were his subscribers. Mr..
JUDD's address is Chicago, Illinois.
William George Washington Neal in
his farewell brother Tucker" address,
says when he entered the Mayorship he
found a debt of $4,000 on the Corpora
ton and several of the funds very low,
but how the debt was created or for what
purpose, he didn't know no care! i
Pears to us that if we had been elected
Mayor with such a financial condition to
shoulder, we would have looked the
thing up. Wonder if it wasn't part of
the old "cistern boss" debt, and he felt a
delicacy in disturbing its peaceful re-
pose?
We understand that Marshal Ryan
will enforce the city ordinance and State
law against stock running at large. There
are many residences in Eaton which are
not protected against the depredations of
cattle and swine, by fences, and there is
a growing inclination to still further do
away with those unsightly membranes.
But property owners cannot and will not
be annoyed by vagrant animals roaming
through their door-yards. People who
own livestock must look after their prop
erty or pay the penalty fixed by the or
dinance, INT the cost of impounding.
