The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1886-02-11
It has been said the greatest rascal al

below, don't get scared, it is only a way
he has of trying to make people imagine
he is somebody~-but he only fools him
self, everybody knows him.
Obed Dillman died at his residence in
Eaton on Saturday evening last of ty.
phoid pneumonia, aged 33 years. Mr..
Dillman was a quiet and honorable citi.
zen and well respected by all his neigh
bors. He leaves a wife AMI three young
children to grieye over the loss of a hus-
band and q father.
The effect of the discovery and devel.
opment Of gas wells has been to put up
the price of land in the region where
they are found, and to break down the
value of coal lands. Land in the neigh
borhood of Pittsburgh, known to contain
coal, can be had for thirty dollars an
acre, while gas privileges alone are
bringing five thousand dollars an acre.
The Low Prices that we published a
few days ago, crowded our store with
eager buyers. Look at the Boys Suits
for $3.50 and up, Mems Suits $500 and
$3.50, worth $40 and $12, Mems Over
coats $3.50 worth $500, at JOS. Woern-
er's, The Peoples Clother.
With first class natural facilities for
business, there are no good reasons why
Eaton should not grow considerably the
coming spring, and if our citizens will
only permit their spirit of enterprise to
wake them up to a united effort for indi-
vidual and public good, every one will
be benefited, and men of business and
capital from other localities be attracted
here to make investments.
The communication from Camden sign
ed TRUTHFUL" cannot appear. Reason
the author forgot to send his lame.
When will writer's for newspapers get it
beat into their heads that anonymous
communications are pitched into the
waste basket of a printing office? We
think, however, the matter that Truth
full" writes about had better be quietly
let alone. There is nothing to be gained
by discussion of it. t
