. Good Time..Odd Fellowship.

"A "OOO 1hInesslD00 FeAAOV snip
The Eaton Lodge ofOdd Fellows had a gay
time at their regular meeting on Friday night
last. The Lodge entertained about one hun
bred and fifty of their Brethren from different
parts Of our county, who came here on "goat
equestrianism" business, to a splendid sup
per. We accidentally happened to be near to
the hall of this popular institution on the said
evening, and through the courtesy of Mrs.
Frank Jones, Mrs. John Rhea, Mrs. Thomas
Fulton, Mrs. Samuel Silver and Miss Laura
Denny-"daughters of Rebecca"-had the
pleasure of looking into the kitchen and upon
the tables, six in number, prepared with the
"good things" to feed the visitors. 1t is
enough to mention that the ladies named
above, with one or two others whom we do not
remember, "bossed' the culinary work! We
almost wished we were one of the initiated
We have heard the occasion spoken of as one
OF the grandest ever experienced in Eaton
Lodge, and it was whispered to US that the
~liveliest "goat rider" present on that evening,
was our old Israel Township friend, John NJ.
Ramsey, who is chasing 'three score years
and ten very closely! Well, we like to hear
of these "young boys" enjoying themselves
in such innocent amusements, and that the la
dies so theerfully assist to make them pleas
ant and happy events to talk over.
That Odd Fellowship is useful and desira-
BILE can not be doubted; for no one will have
the hardihood to contend that, to "diffuse hap
piness among our fellow mortals''i is a crime;
to relieve the distressed, to comfort the be-
reaved widow, and to succor the fatherless, is
not worthy the attention of civilized beings
Such, undoubtedly, are the objects of Odd
Fellowship, and if there are Odd Fellows who
do not practice these virtues, surely it can
not be attributed to the system. The foun-
ders of the Order laid Town rules how man
kind may be useful to each other-how they
may serve themselves by serving their fellow
beings. These truths have fully developed
themselves, and if some members of the Order
reject the good fruit placed before them, who
is to blame? Not Odd Fellowship, certainly;
for it is not pretended that the institution can
change human nature, or transform man into
an angel; but is an effort to establish the true
social law, if not in the heart, at least in the
organic structure of society. 1t tries to erect
a platform upon which the men of every ma
tion, party, sect and creed can stand and for
get, for the time being at least, their OWE Pc
culiarities, recognizing in each other the mem
bers of a common humanity, and the brethren
of the same great family. 1t places every
member in the true relation of a brother, bids
each hail the other by that endearing name,
and extend to him the hand of fraternal cour-
tesy.

How many women there are of whom these
words are true: "They feel languid and tired,
hardly able to bear their weight on their feet,
the bloom all gone from their cheeks, irratable
and cross without meaning to be, nerves all
upset, worried with the children, fretted over
little things, a burden to themselves, and yet
with no acute disease" What a pity it is
But a few bottles of Parker's Tonic will drive
all this away, and relieve the troubles peculiar
to their sex. [declI-lm

Society for Prevention of Cruelty to An
imals and Children. There are many
persons who do not know that there are
on the statute books of Ohio certain laws
to prevent cruelty, and who suppose that
because they own an animal they can do
what they please with it. A society has
! been formed in the State, with branch
societies in many of the counties, for the
purpose of giving the people instruction
: in this mater. One of those branches
t has been formed in Preble county, com
posed of good citizens, who do not wish
d to impose any hardships on any one, mol
s desire to see any prosecuted, but they
: intend to prevent all extreme cruelty, i
possible. What is cruelty to animals
ask many?" Driving a horse till he be
comes heated, then hitching him to
n rack and leaving him for hours withou
a blanket, is cruelty. Many horses hav,
been left hitched to a post most of tn,
= day, and part of the night, without shell
ter, food, or water. Those who driv,
horses will please remember, that thes,
servants of theirs need protection
r Blanket them on a cold day; protec
j. them from the cold winds; don'tlet then
stand all day in the storm, while you ar
comfortable by the fire don't kick them
So as we have often seen men do; use ha,
IS ness that fits the horse and works easy
Of if he is lame or has a sore shoulder, trea
k him with consideration, and the 5. P. G

The Hammond Family.

The Globe-Democrat of Thursday
morning contained the following spe-
cial from Galveston, which will he read
with interest by the citizens of Dallas:
"Belle Boyd, the confederate spy is
hero, having With her the three young
children who own Mr.. Hammond as q
father. She has been living sumptu-
ously at the fremont hot Ell
Sunday the ex-husband Mr..
Hammond, arrived in the city and
sought out his former wife, not for the
purpose of reconciliation, but to Oh
tain the mothers consent to place tho
children in convent. The Interview
was stormy one. Tho mother, with
flashing eyes, scorned the proposition.
The father of the little ones expostula-
ted, but in vain, and was told, in Ian
gu9ge more iorcible than eloquent, by
the irate mother that his laudable inten-
tons would never meet with her con-
sent. The father, however, seems bent
upon his purpose, and 1t is quite preba
BILE the majesty OF the law will be in
voked in the childrens behalf. In the
meantime the elder daughter, Grace,
who married worthless fellow in Dial.
las, and who, finding the marital ties
irksome, left him, has also drifted To
Galveston. Between the different
members of this family startling sen
sation is likely TO occur any day."

quence of these combined advantages we
have good reason to believe that its sales are

Can purchasers afford TO make series OF

is offered we respectfully suggest that you
investigate the responsibility Of the guaran-
teeors. While we disc aim any intention OF
monopoli2ing the barb wire business, our
