The Eaton Democrat. (Eaton, Ohio) 1875-1903, 1886-03-18

enough to do to keep all busy during their
entire working season.
We understand that DR.. John K. Miller
will be out for Corporation Treasurer
As Tom Noe refuses to be a candidate, it
strikes US that DR.. John Miller is just the
person. He is a square young man and
has business about him. Vote for him
If he comes out.
Ham and eggs, bacon and eggs, or a
beefsteak or underdone chop, with boil
ed eggs to follow, and then a cup of tea.
is a sensible breakfast for a man who is
going away out into the fresh air to walk,
or ride or work till noon, but not for a
person who has to sit all day in the same
position at mental labor.
Three weeks drumming dug out only
nineteen men willing to risk 500 each
to prospect for gas and oil in Eaton. The
country had to furnish the twentieth
man-Perry Wysong! Well bet a big
red apple that West Alexandria or Cam
den either, can beat it! Bring on your
Bohemian oats" traders!
If farmers would take down the signs,
"No hunting allowed on these premises"
and put up instead, "No agents allowed
on these premises to transact business"
the farmer would be able to keep his
hard earned money in his pocket, and
then the honest sportsman would enjoy
going out with his dog and gun for a lit
tie hunt.
1t is not often that a Council will in
crease the salary of its Corporate officials,
without 4 demand from those who foot
the bill. The present salary of the Mar
shall of Eaton amounts to between $500
and 81, 1000! Isn't that enough? There
are a number of good and competent
men who say they will be satisfied with
it. Why increase it?
Four in hand, the latest style neck-tie

A small paragraph got into our paper
last week and was overlooked, stating
that the assessors chosen this year will
|appraise real estate" OF course it was a
"mistake of the printer" but not less
than 1000 persons have reminded us OF
it! 1t shows how many read the locals of
the DEMOCRAT who are not yet subscrib-
ers.
John w. Reed, agent for Russell & Co.,
of Massillon, o., manufacturers of En-
gines, Separators and Saw Mills, will
have on exhibition at Eaton, O., mt Of the
companies complete thrashing outfits,
including their new style Road Engine,
being entirely new and unlike anything
else in the market. A practical exhibit
ton of their new engine will take place
at Eaton on SATURDAY goth inst.
Charley Pearce has been appointed P.
NJ. for the village of Fair Ha-en, Preble
county. 1t hung fire a long time, but f.
nally went off with a boom. The selec-
ton is q good one, and clears the platter
in Preble county, with the exception of
the Lewisburg post Office, in which the
P. NJ. General declines to make a change
now for the reason that SO Democrats
have petitioned for the retention of the
present incumbent. We make this state
ment in justice to Congressman Camp:
bell, who ought not to be censured be-
cause there has not been a change. 1t
shows, however, the liberality of the
Democrats of Lewisburg and vicinity.

dried or unlaundried, for sale only at Jos.

An exchange truly says, for it applies
to this as we'll as other towns. Every
day almost newspaper lei are called up
on to notice this or that thing which is of
no interest to the public, but which would
be an advertisement for him who asks
the newspaper favor. The columrS q
newspaper are the publishers Stock in
trade, worth SO much an inch, and which
he is willing to sell to make a Ewing
Hence when a publisher is asked for so
much space to s'puff" some one free, he
who makes the request is acting precise
ly as if he should ask a jeweler for a ring
or a tailor for a coat. There are people
who think it is a favor conferred upon a
newspaper to ask a puff. The favor is
all the other way. Every puff is worth
ten cents a line, and when a newspaper
gives this away it is just SO much out OF
pocket.
Peterson's Magazine for April opens
with a very beautiful steel-engraving,
viz: "The Little Pilferer," after a pic
ture by the celebrated German artist
Meyer Won Bremen. Then comes a dou.
ble-size colored fashion-plate which all
the ladies will rave over; two colored
patterns; and some fifty wood cuts Of
fashions, embroideries, etc. The stories,
all original, are even better than usual
son the Roxbury Sands is one of great
power. "Sister Dorothy" by Edgar
Fawcett, is a society %novelet of very high
merit. "The Burglar-Alarm," by Frank
Lee Benedict, is intensely funny. "The
M~illionaire's Daughter" by Mrs. Ann S
Stephens, grows in interest and force
with every number. Altogether, we de-
not see how any lady can do withou
