When the taxpayers of this Corpora
ton adhere to the advice of the little
gang OF Republican officc-seekers, who
command that party lines shall be drawn
for every Office, even to constables, super
visors and School Board, her they can
get ready to pay again 50 % on the 800
local taxes.
When you fail in every other vocation.
start a newspaper. Any fool can run one
successfully without a knowledge of the
business, other than simply knowing
how to do nothing else. You don't have
to learn it like shoemaking, tailoring,
blacksmithing, w~agoumaking, carpenter
ing, etc. "Conceit" is all that is neces-
sary. Try it!
Taxpayers of Eaton Ifyou want your
Corporation taxes back to 50 % on the
500, go for a clean partisan ticket to
please Risinger, Chairman of the Repub-
lican County Central Committee, who
resides several miles in the country, and
Prosecuting Attorney Crisler, Secretary
of the Committee, whose interest in the
town is his Office only! Cheeky, isn'tit?
There is a little gang of of6ce-seek-
ing Republicans organized in Eaton, who
are endeavoring to run Corporation and
County political matters SO as to lane
them into some one of the county offices4
They pay no taxes and don'tcare wheth-
er they are high or low. They want party
lines drawn at every election, because it
is to their interest. They are too lazy to
work. coffee" is their only object.
Watch them taxpayers.
Voters of this Corporation should moi
allow themselves to be misled about the
poverty of the pay of the Marshal. The
perquisites of the Office runs the salary
from $500 to 81, 600 per year! And what
great labor is attached to it, pray tell US?
How many mechanics labor hard through
cold and heat the year around, and earn
but little over half the amount? What
village in Ohio OF the population of Eaton
pays its Marshal any better?
The exhibition of one of Russell &
Co.'s new road engines on our streets
last Saturday, drew a large crowd. Its
working qualities cannot be surpassed,
was the general expression. Ed. Wyatt
is the purchaser of the entire outfit at
81 500, and intends doing some thresh-
ing in this county during the coming sea-
son. Our knowledge of the correct run
ming and easy management of a n Engine,
satisfies US that it is a splendid machine.
J. w. Reed, OF Eaton, il the agent for
its sale.
Harry Jordan, q young and prosperous
farmer living over in Twin Township,
had his cattle poisoned on Sunday the
FT4th inst. During his absence at church
paris green was mixed with salt and fed
to them, six of which died. The mother
OF young Jordan was arrested for the
crime and outrage and had a preliminary
hearing before Esq. Campbell at West
Alexandria. The evidence was so strong
that she was bound over in the sum of
$500, her husband going on the bond
What prompted the mother to commit
the crime is a mystery.
An aggravated and very reprehensible
case of "hazing'' occurred at Buchtel
College, Ohio, a few weeks 90, the vic
tim being a young student from Chicago,
by the name of Norris. The father OF
the young man proposes to make it hot
for the parties concerned in it. His son
has been in ill health ever since the &C.
currence. Prosecution has been COM
tmenced and several arrests made, am ng
whom is DR.. E. Z. Welsh, son of DIR.
Welsh, of Eaton. Mr.. Morris says he
will spend 5000 to punish the men who
bounced" his son. The President OF
the Collegs ought to summarily "bounce''
every student who engaged in the affair.
There is nothing manly in such fun.
We invite our readers to the new dry
goods and notion advertisement of Chas.

this class of our citizens drop in and ex
anime the stock, even if they make nc
purchases.
