Wellsfan Notes.

The week compared with the two preceding ones
has been comparatively quiet one, whiskey having
gotten overits spree, temporarily. The council at
its meeting last week adopted stringent resolution
closing the saloons on Sunday can reasonably
look for quiet day in the week in future.
meeting was held at Squire Binghams Office on
Tuesday evening to consider the question of organ
izing Masonic Lodge. All that is needed now is a
goat for the order to start out in full blast. ''They
will meet upon the level and part upon the square,,
soon as they can procure lodge room and a goat.
The temperance people managed to organize a
Temperance Union on the same evening, the Ludlow
Assistant Democrats being temporarily sent to the
rear. Officers elected follows j. A. Calhoun,
Pres, j. NJ. Lively, Vice Pres, David Thomas, Sec
and David Woolam, Chaplain. The hall has been de-
clared unsafe for occupancy, and all public meetings
of all sorts for the present suspended The dis
ease seems to have been too much dancing. Prof.
Somebody gave magic lantern exhibition on
Wednesday evening, adam and Eve in Paradise"
etc. but the boys became noisy and dsorderly that
the exhibitor had to close before he got through.
Among the visitors to the Exposition from Welston
during the week hear of Mr.. Goddard, who returns
with large stock of goods for the fall trade Mr.
F. F. Swanson, the sewing machine man, and Consta-
BILE Hadker. All seem to return much pleased with
the big show.
Mr.. E. w. Wallace opened his new Restaurant on
Willard Avenue on Thursday, and stands ready to
supply all in want of bread cakes confectionery, ETC.
Success to him.
The school closed its first month Friday with 81
in Primary, 55 Intermediate, Grammar, and 16 High
School. Total 212 The teachers wish to extend a
general and most cordial invitation to everybody in
terested in the school to visit them and what they
are doing. "Come if 1t is payin' to keep 'em
whether it would be best to turn em out"
Rumor says that the Catholics propose to open a
school in their church it is ready for
occupancy. Should they do wish them success.
The Methodist community much pleased with
the return of Rev. Mr.. Hall for another year. Mr..
Davis, Contractor, is pushing the work the
church, and hopes to welcome the Rev. gentleman to
it in n short time.
Building is still being pushed forward. The En-
met Building on Willard Avenue is under roof. A
sMners' Supply Store' says the last reports. Mr..
Martin has the frame up for a house the Ber
lin road Fluharts shaft. Messrs. Fluhart Co.,
in addition to his mining operations, has three new
dwellings under way. Evans Bros. propose beginning
during the week addition to their store, as to
double its present capacity, and also to build new
slaughter house. Mr. Bennett has new residence in
contemplation near the parsonage.
The gauge road is at work ballasting their
track the branch welf pushing on the work
on bridges. The Springfield tracklayers are slowly
approaching town well pushing work on bridges
and culverts.
Senator Richards is expected to be here to address
the citizens of Wellston rFriday evening, and we
hope he may have a good audience. Come and hear
him, Republican and Democrat and especially Pro-
hibition- acknowledgements. And not only come
and hear him, but don't forget to go to the polls
Tuesday and vote for him. The old State of Chase
and Giddings of Wade and Garfield, cannot afford to
desert the Republican line The brave men who
in despite of shotguns and stuffed ballots oflocal
secution and federal distrus have kept the banner OF
Repubicanism flying in the South look to Ohio for
encouragement with the ardor that Israel longsd
| for the promised land in the desert wanderings
Bookwalter's election will be received with howl OF
triumph by every disunion sympathizer, ballot box
suffer, and shotgun patriot p from the Susquehanna
| to the Rio Grande. The old parry Of humanity and
| equal laws asks you to try it once more.
