ing for their own tickets. 1t is 30 jolly,
you know.
There are many women in this cold
world who will talk against dancing and
social gatherings, and at the time be
guilty of starting rumors about their
neighbors without first inquiring if it is
honorable.
Mr.. Jacob Joseph, of Lancaster, KY,
was married to Miss Lizzie Fox, at the
home of the bride on east Main street,
on Tuesday at noon, in the presence of
many friends and invited guests of the
parties.
Our town has reached a period now
when it becomes necessary-in order to
insure her future growth and prosperity
that our citizens take hold of and en-
courage every enterprise that will add to
and help improve her growth.
Vennor makes the comforting an
nouncement that "March and April will
probably give us the cold and snow lack
ing through the first half of the winter"
But as Mr.. Vennor missed it in Decem-
Der, we'll wait until March and April be-
fore we prepare for sleigh riding.
The North Pole isn't more than two
miles and a half from Eaton, and the
man who had his linen duster painted
black, and his straw hat plastered is out
with a club looking for the false prophet
who declared we were going to enjoy a
mild open winter.
Some say Consumption can't be
cured" Ayers Cherry Pectoral, as
proved by forty years experience, will
cure this disease when not already ad-
vanced beyond the reach of medical aid.
Even then its use affords very great re-
lief, and insures refreshing sleep.
The fellows who hung their linen
clothes on the chairs around their bed
rooms, expecting to get up mornings in
January and February and appear in
them, laid them away last week with
solemn oaths that all weather prognosti-
Gators are liars and frauds.
No sufferer from any scrofulous dis
ease, who will fairly try Ayers Sarsapa-
rilla, need despair of a cure. 1t will
purge the blood of all impurities, there
by destroying the germs from which
scrofula is developed, and will infuse
new life and vigor throughout the whole
physical organization.
According to a recent ruling of the
postmaster-general any person who
writes for tickets or corresponds with a
lottery company, relating to such bust
ness, violates the law and becomes liza
BILE to a fine of from one hundred to five
hundred dollars. When the P. M. G.
undertakes to govern the contents Of a
letter written by any subject of the U.
S. he exhibits himself as a crank.
This place needs a society to prevent
cruelty to horses. We saw horses driven
into Eaton last week wet with sweat and
white with frost, hitched to racks with
out a blanket and left standing for hours,
while the of the poor brutes were
sitting behind some hot stove with their
hides full of ''Tom and jerry" Ten
cents will stable a horse at any of our
livery stables, and every person leaving
animal unblanketed stand shivering
with cold on the streets for hours, or I'M
til late at night without food, should be
prosecuted.
Judge Gilmore has handed us a Des
Moines, Iowa State REGISTER, which con-
tains a two column notice of the nuptials
of Lieutenant Clarke, of the United States
Army, and Miss Sadie Robertson, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. s. A. Robertson, of
Dss Moines city. S. A. Robertson is a
son of the late Maj. Robertson of Twin
Preble county, whom every
body in this neck of woods well remem-
bers. The marriage took place in the
First NJ. E. Church and created consider
able excitement.
Winter with its biting cold and snow
has now been fairly ushered in, and to
many this fact means the beginning OF a
period of suffering. Those
who are blessed with a suficiency of the
worlds goods to enable them to go about
warmly dressed, ~partaking of wholesome
food and living in comfortable homes,
should cast a kindly eye on their less
fortunate brethren. The poor are the
natural out-growth of a society where
the weakest and most shiftless are push
ed to the wall and the strong-limbed and
energetic achieve success. If each of
the latter we're TO contribute his mite to
the alienation of the wants of the for
mer, the sum total of the worlds happi-
ness would be greater and want and
crime would be unheard of in an exis-
lance essentially Utopian.
The Jackson HERALD wonders what
st. Peter will say to. some men who live
in this world, and grind the faces of the
poor in order to gather up riches, when
they come to the celestial gates, and
with fists full of ~ill-gained gold, apply
for admission? It is right to be indus
trious and frugal, but it is wrong to add
to your wealth by stinting the laboring- |
man or washerwoman! 1t is wrong to
be mean, and when a heart in this life
becomes 30 a as to be capable of
little meannesses towards men, do you
think it is fit for Heaven, where all is on
the broadest, widest plan of Infinity?-|
No, no, it is only fitted by practice in
this life, for the narrow, contracted To-
cality, prepared for the devil and his
angelsl" Did you ever think of this,
when ~wringing a dime from the labor
ing-man, or a nickel from the washer
woman, in order to add to your Bank &C.
count? If you did not, it may not yet
