The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1880-08-26

John Bell, of Brighton, has been trying
the experiment of raising potatoes from tn,
seed, and after three years has succeeded IN
producing the largest and finest ones we have
ever seen. From 81 rods Of ground-a little
over one-half acre-he raised this year l3s
bushels. Specimens are on exhibition q,
several of the stores and groceries. He has
christened them "Bell's Choice"

her visit to Chicago and the West, and Miss
Clark being daily expected, she will be pre-

"A Cure for Burns.-A lady who was
badly burned, face and hands, and supposed
| to be disfgured for life, had the fire taken out
| without a scar and went to picnic the very
next day after the accident. The beaten
whites OF two or three eggs mixed with a
table spoonful Of sweet oil, in which cloths
were wet and applied to the burns, was the
remedy. The cloths were wet 80 often and
thoroughly that two and one half dozen eggs
were used, but IL was q perfect success; so
says a writer to the Cleveland Herald.
additional proof was furuished, on Mon
day, that the fool killer has been remiss in
duty by the number who were taken in by
peddlers who were selling prize packages
containing money In various sums, inclosed
in the presence Of the purchaser, and he al
lowed to pick out the one, II he could, con-
tanning the larger sum. It Is needless to say
that nine times out of ten they were success
full In selecting the one that contained the
81 instead Of the one containing the SIS. Go
slow, young man Those fellows have
worked at that game lsnger than you have,
and IL they did not know how to beat you
would give up the business. None made
any money in the game but the sharper, as is
always the case. But the fools are plenty

Two machines that have been tried Just
enough to know that they do good work and
are not In any way defective. One Is "The

machines the company has sent out. The
other is q new Wilson Machine, drawers,
drop-leaf, walnut case, and has some advan-

We were not able to attend Welsh &
Sands Circus and Managerie, but from what
We hear, should say that the entertainment
was fully equal to the average, though we
have been visited by some that were superior.
The performances Of some of the trained
animals, uoticeably the horses, dogs. monkey,
etc, were especially interesting, as were also
the athletic exercises. There was an unu-
sually large number Of sharpers and black
legs following in their wake, though we are
not disposed to charge It to the fault Of the
company, since they find their way to any
place where there are likely to be large
crowds of people, without reference to the
occasion that calls them together. Besides,
there was no reason for being troubled by
them IL We had not chosen to do SO, since
our authorities had the legal right to pro-
hibit their appearance on our streets, and to
arrest them IL they failed to obey.
Monday was black-letter day for Well
lington. Never, In a period Of twenty years,
has there been so much pocket picking, bur.
glary and various gambling devices as on
that day. Three card monte and gambling
| boards upon which dice were thrown foi
money. were in full blast on our streets, as
well as other swindling operations, such as
We have noticed elsewhere in our local col.
umns, equally disreputable. By what right
| they Piled their ncfarious vocation we do
not know, though we were told they had the
permission OF our authorities. 1t was q
burning shame and disgrace to our town,
and one that we hope we shall not soon have
the misfortune to sec. The connection OF
these fellows with the circus was probably
only incidental, and they ought not to bear
the blame, but those who administer our
laws ought not to have allowed them on our
streets
The soap man was in town, Monday,
selling cakes Of wohdrous properties for SO
cents each. After receiving his money he
would inquire Of his customer what he
should do with the money-whether he
should give it to the poor, or return it to the
purchaser, or put 1t in his pocket,-the an
swer very naturally came, "put 1t in your
pocket" With singular appreciation oul
soap man would thank him and say, "for the
generosity you have exhibited viii return
the money to you with 10 cents additional, a.
| q token of esteem" Then he would inquire
| for another who would give him IS cents fol-
another cake; then one for 81; for g.; &5i
SO; each one receiving back all he had given
| together with handsome donation, regular
ly increasing In amount in proportion to the
price given for the soap. When the enthus-
iasm Of the crowd had increased to such 6
degree that the buyers handed In their mon

keep up with his purchasers, and he had got
in his hands various sums amounting alto
gether to about $50, he was suddenly remind

lit out, leaving his expectant customers min
