The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1885-07-02

uduSSs NOW the Oiu 1eStdIltilt re-
visers rise up and call the bad place
"sheol." If about one more lot had a
crack at it, they would call it "the ska
ting rink"
One of the young Mr.. Quilts had a
horse in Eaton last Saturday evening
hitched to a buggy, that took a kicking
spell on Main street and made things
lively for a few minutes, besides filling
the street with spectators. He damaged
the buggy he was attached to and wreck
ed a jaeger close by him.
Ay, that's the word-punctuality y
Did you ever see a man who was pune
tual who did not prosper in the long run?
We don't care who, or what he was
high or low, ignorant or learned, savage
or civilized-we know that if he did as
he agreed, and was punctual in all his
engagements, he prospered:
"The proper place to do business is
the place of business" If this rule was
carried out many mistakes and blunders
would be avoided. Business done YER
bally On the streets is frequently forgot
ten, and unpleasant feelings are often
aroused, whereby it would be otherwise,
if strictly followed.
1t is never, according to etiquette, prop
er to shake a lady's hand unless she Of
fers it. A married lady always shakes
hands when introduced. Young ladies
not often When they do, it is a mark
of favor. Never shake hands in the ball
room when the introduction is simply for
dancing. The more public the place
the less Misunderstanding.
Beware of busybodies, however kind
they may appear on the surface. Aman
who NEEDLES in other peoples affairs is
sure t make mischief. He generally
NEEDLES to suit himself, and consequent
ly puts different constructions on the
same things when said to different peo-
pie SO that the most innocent words get
distorted into applications which those
who use them never intend that they
should bear.
An exchange says: 1t has been truly
said that when an editor makes a mis-
take in his paper, and the world sees
it and calls him a fool. When a private
citizen makes a mistake, nobody knows
it except a few friends, and they come
around and ask the editor to keep it out
of the paper. When a private citizen
dies the editor is asked to write of his
good qualities and leave the bad OUT
When the editor dies, the private citi-
zen says: ''Now that darn liar will get
his DESERTS"
Attention is called to the advertise
ment of the Mutual Life Insurance
Company" OF New York, which appears
in another column, and of which Messrs.
Watson & Kelly are Agents. 1t is with
out a doubt the largest Company in the
world and the oldest Company in Amer
lea, facts that will commend the Compa-
ny to the public. H. A. Lyman, Dis
trict Agent, OF w. B. Hastings, Special
Agent fer tie Company, will spend a
week or two in the county and will be
pleased to make the necessary explana-
tons to those who do not thoroughly I'M
derstand the principles of the best class
OF Life Insurance, together with the best
investment on the market.
We are sorry to hear that Anthony
.Tone) Yost met with a serious accident
on Tuesday evening of last week. He
had been to Eaton, and when within
half a mile of home the bolt holding the
shafts in place came out. The shafts
fell upon the horses heels, causing him
to run away. Mr.. Yost was thrown from
the buggy, al;ghting on his right Shout
der, breaking the arm bone near the
shoulder joint and spraining his back Sc
verely. DR.. Ferguson, assisted by DR..
Chas. Jones, set and bandaged the broken
arm, and the patient is as comfortable
as possible under the circumstances, but
many weary weeks will elapse before he
can use the injured arm. Judge James
A. Gilmore rode home with Mr.. Yost,
getting out at his home near Barnet's
mill. The accident occurred within fifty
yards from where he got out.
We made a flying visit last week to
the pleasant little village of Fair Haven,
located about twelve miles southwest OF
Eaton. 1t is a neat, clean and handsome
town, and its inhabitants an industrious
and sober set of people, who seem to at
tend strictly to their business affairs. 1t is
surrounded by many handsome and well
cultivated farms, among which is that OF
our old friend and patron Abraham
Thompson, about n and a hall mile
west of the village, where we ''pulled
in" and were kindly entertained by the
old gentleman and his literary and &C
complished daughter. Mr.. Thompson
is an old hickory Democrat, having voted
twice for Jackson for President. He
moved from Butler county into Israe
Township, Preble county, about forty
years ago, and has resided there eve
since. A Democrat in Israel TOWNSHIP
is almost a curiosity, but if our Presiden
would wake up to the interests of thos'
who put him into the White House,
Democratic PM. would distribute tn,
, mail for the people around Fair Haven
and we think the initials of his nam,
would be Charles Pearce! Selah!
