Reunion of s5th O. v

The sixth annual reunion of the Both o. V.
1. was celebrated in Eaton on Thursday of
last week. The day was pleasant and the af-
fair passed off very satisfactory to the old
veterans and our citizens. The business
houses and many private residences were pro-
fusely decorated for the occasion and a hearty
welcome extended by everybody. Those from
abroad were met at the depot in the morning
and marched to the public square by the mu-
sic of the Eldorado Band, where a meeting
was held which elected the following officers:
J. W. O'Neal, President; Jas. Fitton, Vice
President; Thomas Starry, Recording Secre-
tary; j. ID, Vinton, Corresponding Secretary;
G. w. Randall, Treasurer; F. W. Kiel, Histo-
rian.
Lebanon, Warren county, o., was chosen as
the next place for the reunion.
A splendid dinner was prepared by the
ladies of Eaton at the Opera House for the
soldiers, and all, and many of their friends,
were bounteously fed with everything the ap-
petite could desire, after which the crowd re-
paired to the Court House Park and were ad-
dressed by Mayor Marsh, Judge J. W. O'Neal,
of Lebanon; Gen. Vanderveer, of Hamilton,
and A. j. Stakeholder, of Winchester, Ind
The addresses of Judge O'Neal and Gen. Van
derveer were the sentiments of true soldiers
and patriots and were replete with sound and
wholesome doctrine, that ought to have been
heard by all of the northern 'bloody shirt"
seriekers around this "neck of woods" The
reunion was one that will be long remembered
by many of it's participants.
The following is a list of veterans present
at the reunion, as near as we could collect
their names:

DEATHS.

FOCHT-Miss Ina w. Focht, daughter of
Michael and Ellen Focht, died Sept. 10th, 1885,
at her home two miles east of Winchester,
aged Is years and l month. Funeral services
held in the A. NJ. E.. Church at Winchester by
Rev. Mason, of Farmersyille, after which the
body was inferred in the Fair View Cemetery
within sight of the town. She will long be
remembered by her many friends and ac-
quaintances, by whom she was SO highly es-
teemed. Many hearts throbbed with sad and
painful emotion as they looked at one so dear
ly loyed for the last time. But such is life, we
must all go sooner or later; for such is the
will of)our Master. There is no holier feeling
than a sisters love-no affection purer and
more enduring than hers; and, in retracing
the past, we find none around whom so many
pleasing and hallowed memories linger.
With a sisters name are associated all the
delights of childhood. In sickness, when the
hand of disease presses heavily upon us, where
can we find love so devoted, so self-sacrificing
as hers? Whose hand can so softly wipe
away the heavy pain drops, or fan with such
untlring assiduity the fevered brow? Whose
eye can meet our languid gaze with such
looks of love and tender sympathy; or whose
voice like hers can lull us to untroubled re-
pose? Those bright, but alas, departed days
are dimmed by sorrows tears. Like an an
gel she was ever by their side, the partaker
and swcetener of every youthful joy; for every
joy was dearer and every grief lighter, when
she in their early joys bore a part. 1t is then
hers, to call to our minds the lessons we learn
ed in childhood and waken the spirit inculca-
ted. Then in childhood she is the sharer of
its pure and interrupted joys-in youth, the
mild restrainer of passions headlong course,
the faithful watcher at the couch of pain-in
manhood, a counselor in whom We can contide
when all others fail, and through the whole
course of life our better angel J.E. G.

BURNED.
'TE,e Work CGa Fiend!

About l o'clock on Monday morning
drug establishment in Commercial block,
were aroused from their slumbers by a
dense and sitting smoke that was filling
their sleeping room and the entire second
story departments of the building. While
dressing Mrs. Ziliox positively assures us
she distinctly heard footsteps in the room
below and ran to the front window over
the entrance to the drug store and en-
quired, "who is there?" No answer
came. By this TING the crumbling sound
of burning shelving and falling jars warm
ed them that a fire was raging below and
they gave the alarm. Assistance WAS
soon on hand and the room kept tightly
closed until the engine arrived and was
ready to throw water, and then hut q
short time elapsed until the fire was sub
dued and ex%tinguished, not however, un-
til it had almost entirely destroyed the
drug contents of the establishment. The
devil who committed the deed and en-
dangered the lives OF Mr.. and Mrs. ZilioX,
forced an entrance to the room through L
window in the rear of the building, by
cutting a slat from the shutter so as to un-
fasten it and raise the window. Pine box
material WAS saturated with coal-oil and
placed under the counter, near the money
drawer that had been robbed OF a few
dollars, ami fired. The object of the
fend in firing the building is unfathon-
able.
Mr.. Schlenker owns the building. His
damage will amount to about s | 900, fully
covered with insurance in the Niagara
and Metropolitan, Peters & Unger,
agents. He will repair it Immediately.
On the stock of drugs and books Ziliox &
Co, had 81, 800 insurance in the Miami
Valley, Henry Farr, agent; 1000 in the
, Cincinnati Underwriters, Watson &
Kelly, agents, and $500 on the fountain
in the Fireman's, Of Dayton. The loss
will reach about $1,000. Mr.. Ziliox has
the sympathy of our entire community ii

Our Stone Quarries and Water
Power.

There are but few localities in. the west so
richly developed in limestone for building pur-
poses as Eaton, and the surprise of strangers
is that they have not been long ago utilized,
but when informed that for the past forty
years they have been controlled by persons
who would not and legally could not develop
the lodges, it is a satisfactory explanation of
our apparent want of energy. Now, however,
these valuable quarries and the splendid water
power so near them, have passed into new
hands with a good prospect for an early and
active improvement of this valuable property.
This will be good news to all our citizens, as
there is no undertaking that will so generally
add to all branches of our material interests
as the improvement of the "Bruce Mill and
Quarries" Our young and energetic citizen,
Elam Fisher, Esq, is now one ofthe owners of
this property, and we understand will GO for
ward with his partners, or form a joint stock
company, to fully bring out the best natural
sources of wealth so long lying dormant in the
above site. The untiring energy and push OF
Mr.. Fisher is a guarantee that the near future
will behold that valuable waste a source Of
wealth to himself and partners, and thereby
furnish employment to all our laborers. Let
all oar citizens lend a helping hand in aid o.
this much needed enterprise.

We do not want the good people of Preble
and surrounding counties to get it into
their heads that this man Monroe is de-

in our community that are kept by the
government, and have nothing to do but
to don their white overalls and strap a
government blanket over their shoulders,
stand on the street corners, hatch up
stuff to SANDER their neighbors, and the
Eaton REGISTER correspondent from this
place, seems to be one Of that stripe. As
to the dance referred to in his last letter

hibition meeting held here Monday eve
Sept. 9TH, and the party in general, we
consider as nothing coming from such an
Insignificant source, as the prohibition
shoulders are growing broader and broad
er every day which makes them still
able to press forward, and every insult
from such a source shows that they are
gaining ground and the old band still
holds reputation enough to furnish them,
and all others with plenty of good music,
better known by President Monroe's
great-grand-daddy as "wind JAM" and
no at%onetnent necessary. If Ignorance is
bliss, some of our FL Dorado people are
not as ignorant as they were thought to
be. as was fully demonstrated few days
ago and as some people have learned
very recently that wrongs must be right

custom is to let goods do their own talking

that Justice will be done us now as in the past,

w hat the Shakers Believe about
Disease.

They nave learned from many years expe-
rience, that nine-tenths of all the diseases of
mankind arise from imperfect digestion of
food; for this reason they have spent years of
labor in preparing the Shaker Extract of
Roots (Siegers Syrup and it operates like a
charm in all cases of digestion.
1t is not what we eat that makes us strong,
but that which we digest. This is the doc
trine of the Mount Lebanon Shakers. People
who are weak and languid, tired and feeble of
ten wonder. The reason is that the food eaten
does not give strength because it is not digest
ed. The Shaker Extract of Roots (SiegePs
Syrup will restore the digestion TO a healthy
condition and drive away the headache, the
pains in the side and back, and distress after
eating and make the sleep afford rest.
