The furry about cheese factories has
pretty much subsidized Some have
been induced to promise to give the fac
torymen another trial; others are fixing
to make up their own milk others
again are intending to make butter and
raise calves. Years ago steers were In
good demand for the eastern graziers,
but cheese making stopped the supply,
and of course the demand was trans
ferred to other regions. 1t is q question
with some as to whether the raising of
steers void not have been ON the whole
more profitable than the factory system
Of cheese making. Certain 1t is that
those farms that thirty years ago were
well fenced and in good repair, have
run down generally so who remembers
them then and sees them now, are very
forcibly struck with the difference.
There are some changes taking place
among us, some moving in spite Of the
muddy roads, which Of course are the
worst ever seen, as they always are in
the spring. Some repairs, alterations.
and some building going on and in pros
pect.
The court house seems to be the pre-
.vailing topic. The feeling seems TO be
that the thing has been sprung upon Us
suddenly, not giving US sufficient time
for investigating the matter, and the
best way is to vote "No," SO as to give
time for discussing the matter. I
should think it would be better to de-
eide ON Q location before deciding to
build, a. q more central place would ac-
commodate the people Of the county
better.
II your Sullivan correspondent would
tell what kind of sidewalks they have,
and what allied them, he might be told
how to improve them. n.

called the Southern States:"
''After q struggle of eighteen years
in war and politics the Confederacy has
at last captured the Capitol.-Wash-

"Yes, thank God, we have captured
the Capitol, and in 1880 our man will
walk up the White House steps and
take his seat in the Presidential chair.

plete then will we proceed to tear
your amendments from the constitution.

will we break the shackles you have
forged for the three sovereign and inde-

Capitol with pictures of Davis, Lee and

Mr.. John Murry is remodeling his old
church into dwelling house and store
room.
We understand that Mr.. Jimmy Orr
and Jet Murry will furnish MS our beef
steak this summer.
We are happy to welcome to our
town, Miss Ida Ream and Miss Dilla
Naylor, who have opened q millinery
and dress making shop opposite Mr..
Pomeroy's blacksmith shop. Miss Ream
has had some experience in this line Of
business, and We have no doubt they
will give satisfaction to their patrons.
We hope their stay with US will be both
pleasant and profitable.
The citizens have become thoroughly
awakened to the evils of the rum traffic
in this village. We are glad to see the
decided stand the churches, band boys,
and the community at large have taken
on the side of temperance. The lectur-
er, Mr. H. L. Simon, has done much. for
Spencer in his uncompromising advoca.
cy Of the temperance cause. The best
feature In his work, il the prominence
constantly given to Christianity. Nc
christian can make any reasonable OBJ.
lection to the gospel temperance.'
We will be glad to welcome the lecturer
back at any time. SrEB.

SULLIVAN.


Quite . merry party assembled in the
southeast corner of our township, on
Tuesday evening March 18th, to wit
ness the marriage of Mr.. Williams, Of
Camden, and Miss Nettie Cressinger, Of
this place The ceremony was per-
formed by the brides father. The Sui
livan Cornet Band enlivened the occa-
sion with some Of their best music, and
Band were made the happy recipients Of
five dollar bill.
W. F. Persons is on the sick list
again. DR.. Weedman, of Troy, called
on him to-day. 1t was the first time we
had seen the doctor since his accident
in the winter.
Just q few words to the friends of old
Solomon. Some fault has been found Of
late with certain things that have ap-
peared in the ENTKRPKIsK, for which
we are responsible. Now we must say
that 1t has never been our aim to wound
any ones feelings. We have always
studiously avoided anything personal,
but 1t Is our duty to send in . correct
report of all that happens in our little
town, and If we are denied that privil.
ege we must cork up our ink bottle. 30
hereafter please remember that what ap-
pears under this head is written with
''malice toward none and with charity
for all.
The ENTERPRISE made its regular
weekly visit to Us last week, and We
really think it deserves the support OF
all the reading men in this vicinity
We have several other weekly papers
on our table, but we always find the
ENTKRPRIsE spicy as any of them. II

A great many of our wants are

A great many Of our wants are fcti-
tious, and people have learned con-
tentment by looping of their desires.
II is the easiest way to solve many
problems. The shallow mind sees no
comfort, dignity or worth. in the style
of living justified by . small income,
and everything that is not modern and
ostentatious and stylish, amounts to
about the same with them a. squslid
poverty. Pretense and sham ID usually
transparent, and deceives very few. If
the family Of limited and small income
attempt to compass the luxuries Of the
rich, the latter only despise the motive,
aud ridicule the failure. II there ID NO
common ground Of equality in personal
worth, neighborlys esteem, or mental
congeniality, there 10 no excuse what
ever for such intimacy. Many . fool.

to be led into extravagance and finan-
ciL ruin, because some chum who
could perhaps afford it, indulsed in
sumptuous living.

help in the household everywhere. If
the false pride concerning housework
could be rooted out, and its true dignity
be implanted, there might dawn better
day for all classes. Let the muscular
Bohemian drudge at the sewing ma
chine, there is growing need of girls
and women who can sew something be-
sides plain seams, s,-who can finish gar
ment in the neat old-fashioned pains
taking way, in vogue before machines
were invented; who can mend and darn
respectfully, wash and iron with q view
to having fine things whole after being
laundried; who are willing to learn how,
and will then take the necessary pains to
make the food wholesome and appeti-
zlng; who will sweep and dust conscien-
tiously; who can be trusted and taught
to handle and use household utensils
from the silver and china to the tin and
wooden ware with some regard to theil
| preservation; who, In a word, think il
worth while to learn the details of good
housekeeping. There is wide open
door, good homes, certain employment
and ready pay for any number of these
To be skilled and prudent and honest
is capital on which there is always pre-
MUM. The transient character OF
American help, is because it is almost
universally incompetent.

The Courthouse Question.

ED. ENTKRPRIsE:-In your last issue
we saw an article from the pen of q
Mr.. g., from Huntington, in which he
INDUCES in some slang which we thick
might Just as well have been omitted
We have only time to say q few words,
as we read his article only few mo-
ments since and the typo is waiting for
US. We acknowledge our amszement
and wonder at the cogency of his reas-
oning for the court house at Elyris.
He says (hear him) "Oberlin is not the
center Of gravity" (Gracious, Peter is
that SOY Again, ''It is not the hub on
which we turn" (Query) Did he
mean the axle! Can the English lang
uage albany one seeking to overthrow
such reasoning as thisr Again he says,
''In the first place the means of access to
Elyria are much better than to Ober-
lin," in proof of which he says, "Ask
Amherst, Ridgeville, Avon, etc., ("
towns Immediately bordering on Elyria.
And then he speaks of the be autiful
sandy ridges which nature has thrown
up, to favor Elyria as q county seat,
and to enable the citizens of these
towns to get to Elyria dry-shod. Verify
the labor Of Providence for thousands
of years in the special interests of Ely.
ria as county seat, as our friend g., init.
mates, should not be overlooked or ig-
nored by the people of Southern Lorain,
who are less favored by being near thirty
miles from the "hub."
Again, he speaks Of the impropriety
of disturbing Oberlin in her educational
enterprises, by the hustle Of business
which a court house would naturally
create. If the people of Oberlin are
willing to donate thirty five thousand dol.
lars for the court house at that place, we
must conclude that they don't favor the
opinion of friend 8. Then he speaks of
the beautiful park in Elyris. Has Ober-
lin any parkr Bayard Taylor thought
so when he said the park in Oberlin
was the handsomest one he ever saw in
a country town. Our friend g., exhib-
its bis immense charity. He says he
has the charity to believe that
the very idea of removing the court
house to Oberlin must have originated
in the mind of one who ought to reside
In Newburgh. We have often heard it
said that thief cries thief first, that
every one was drunk in the eyes or the
drunkard, and q crazy man is always
speaking Of how crazy his neighbors
are. Is it possible that our friend s., 10
laboring under the first symptoms Of
alteration of mindf 1t looks like it.
We hope his neighbors will keep an eye
on him. Now in regard to the court
house matter, all we ask, or ever did
ask, expect or wish, is that the people of
Lorain shall decide as to where the
court house shall be. and we shall be
satisfied, and it will meet our hearty ap-
proval. VULCAN.
