It is now fashionable for women to
scent themselves with perfumery to in
dictate their condition in life. The maiden
is distinguished by violet, the bride by
roses, the widow by lavender, the be-
trothed girl by heilotrope. This is the
custom among pretentious Fifth Avenue
cliques.
We understand that the Eaton gas and
oil company have now fully organized
their corporation and made a cash as
sessment of 10 per cent. on their capital
stock, SO they are prepared to contract
and put down one or more wells as
soon as the weather will permit. Good
luck to the enterprise.

know all about the weather after the I'd
of February. He didn't see his shadow

ing and remained out all day. Farmers
can nov get ready to SOW oats, plow for
corn, cut hay and harvest generally, fer
spring is coming sure!

A little squib appeared in last weeks
DEMOCRAT in regard to the American
Apricot, saying that it could not be grown
in this climate, which is no doubt cor
rect, but the Russian Apricot is IN en-
tirely different fruit and from the testi-
monials given it of our acquaintance, we
are satisfied it is a hardy tree and can
be successfully cultivated in this climate.
We make this correction in justice to D.
L. Brewer, of West Alexandria, who is
selling the Russian Apricot.
Accounts are prevalent all over the
country of the terrible effects o. tricho-

pork than to eat it only half cooked. Of

The February Number of DEMoREsr's
MAGAZINE is before US; and on examine
ton We find it very readable. A "Quaint
Old City," which is profusely illustrated,
is quite interesting, and "a Year in Los
Angeles" and "Peter the Great are
good articles. Mrs. Harris serial HThat
Other Person." is continued, and the
shorter tales are unusually well told
From Pencil to Brush" is an admira-
Bile feature of this magazine. Jennie
June furnishes a paper on the origin OF
~"Sorosis," and the art department is
made attractive by a fine oil picture,
"Love's Postman," and a p~hotogravure
from a painting by ALBERT, and fifty other
illustrations.

Singular as it may seem, the fact is
that human nature has a fondness for
humbug. Even the child enjoys it, hence
the invention of Santa Claus and the
wonderful stories about him. Children
would not eEjoy Christmas without being
humbugged concerning this mysterious
parsonage. The same fondness for hum
bug exists with older people and they
take the medicine, costly as it sometimes
proves, with a relish. 1t is this peculiar
element in human nature that makes it
possible for quacks, Bohemian oats swim
oilers, and the thousand and one other
humbugs to prosper. The people pay
dearly for the qualification Of this singu-
lar human want, and they are ready for
another dose.
The Eaton & Hamilton R. R. Co. was

S. II. Hubbell and A. Denny. Of the
original officers Benz. Hubbard is the
only survivor. G. VanAusdal, deceased,
was President and B. Hubbard, Secreta-
ry. There were under the E. & H. Co.
proper, four Presidents, all of whom are
now dead, and yet forty years ago they
were all active business men and nearly
all the other officers and directors who
co-operated with them have passed to
their last account. E. w. Mcclure, now
at Richmond has been connected with
the road nearly forty years. When we
look back we begin to realize that we too
are getting on the down grade.
