| People coming to the Fair will
learn where to buy goods by re-
ferring to the advertising columns of
the ENTERPRISE. g. :

-Msjor A. C. Houghton's oration at
the recent reunion of the I'd o. C., is
thus referred to by the Cleveland Lead
err: "The grafton was replete with his
tory, deeds Of chivalry, Thrilling en-
counters, camp incidents, foraging ex.
petitions, etc., and was listened to::with
the deepest interest"
No need of going to the city for aid
to eyesight. J. w. Houghton keeps
just the same qualities of spectacles,
Eyeglasses and all kinds of optical
goods, fits as accurately, sells them for
less money, repairs frames, changes
the glasses to suit failing sight, and
warrants satisfaction in every case.
Prof. J. Kerstetter's lecture owing
to theatrical attractions and prepara-
tions for the Fair, was but thinly attend
ed. The exhibition was fine one and
he promises to come again in the Fall
with large variety Of apparatus and
give US another opportunity of witness
ing his scientific experiments and won-
ders. 1t is much more meritorious than
anything presented here for long
time.
Mr.. F. T. Smith, the new stove mer-
chant on West Liberty street, Is making
a very handsome store out of the old
bakery stand. A new 'Fhiladelphia
brick" front with q tasty triangular
sign, is we'll calculated to attract atten-
tion. Our acquaintance with Mr..
Smith is but slight, but we are ready to
predict for him success, for he seems to
have the elements that 60 to make up
solid, honorable, business man.
The Republican Club of Wellington
have put up two liberty poles and have
thrown out between them at q height of
some fifty feet, across Liberty street,
the banner of victory, announcing three
things to the world, the flesh and the
Democrats, to wit: Who shall be Gov
ernor? What Hickenlooper shall be,
and headquarters for Wellington Re
publicans, 4S0 strong. The portraits of
Foster and Hickenlooper upon the BAN
are the work of Adam Lehr of Cleve-
land, and are remarkably good for that
kind of work.
1.-The Wellington Band in competi-
rion with the Oberlin Band at North
Amherst last Friday, carried off the
first prize of $50. The Norwalk Hook
and Ladder Company also took a first
prize. Both these contests served to aid
in bringing together good audience to
listen to the speech of Gen. Ewing and
apparently make an enthusiastic day
for the Democracy. In this regard the
managers may be credited with shrewd-
ness, but whether it will result in the
manufacture of Democratic votes can
best be told after the Fall election. "
1.-The postoffice was moved into its
new quarters the first of this week.
The same is finely fiescoed and grained
and has as convenient and elegant an
arrangement as any Office in Northern
Ohio. From our very intimate ac-
quaintance we are able to say that We'll
lington may congratulate herself that
she has one so careful and efficient for
the management of her postoffice. Con-
sidering the endless details Of the busi-
ness and the multitude Of people to be
pleased he comes as near meeting the
requirements Of the place as would seem
possible.
WEDDING BELLs.-The residence Of
w. w. Harvey on Cortland Avenue,
was pretty well filled last Thursday
evening, with relatives and friends on
