Mrs. Ella Wadsworth has gone to visit
her aunts', Mrs. c. W. Chapman, of Lake
Breeze, and Miss II. Weston, of Lorain.
John welty, Wayne county farmer,
froze to death while in drunken stupor,
Thursday night. He leaves fine family.
Fred Brown, of wakeman, on Sunday
morning, pointed a shot gun and pulled
the trigger sin fun" fatally shooting VIM.
Parker, fourteen years old. Brown is six
teen. As usual, "he didn't know it was
loaded" and is sorry; but that kind of fun
ought to be so thoroughly punished that
no one would point any kind of gun at an
o,her in thousand years, unless he did it
in earnest and meant business.
About thirty of the friends of Mr.. and
Mrs. G. w. Crosier were delightfully."- en-
tertained at their residence on Taylor
Street, the evening of the 18th, but not a
hint was given them that it was the Thrift
eth anniversary of their wedding, though
few of the guests found it out as they
were leaving or on their way home. Most
of the guests had been present at their
silver wedding, with large party, five
years before.
The High School boys have formed a
gymnastic club of twenty members, and
are fitting up the upper room in the school
house for gymnasium. $50have already
been subscribed by private individuals 10
help purchase equipments Each member
pays 80 cents. d. Williams, is Pres Harry
Biggs, Vice Pres, and F. L. Wadsworth,
Sec'y. and Treas. The mechanical skill of
the latter has done good service in fitting
up the room.
The country people will be willing
perhaps, to see the sleighing go, if they
can drive through town without u follow
ing of young modocs catching on and pill
ing over their sleighs. regardless of what
ever freight they may have that is breaka-
BILE or liable to be injured by such treat
ment. There are a great many men who
are not especially stylish in their clothing
when driving to mill or to market, who are
nevertheless great deal too fine grained
in their mental makeup to enjoy having
to ride through town with raft Of rude.
i'll hammered, and noisy boys, every time
they come here. 1t is q disgrace to civili-
zation and boosted intelligence that such
liberty is not rebuked and made impossible
by proper home training.
Mrs. Chauncey Foote, mother of Mrs.
Titus, celebrated, Saturday afternoon, her
SD birthday, by inviting in few friends
and old people, who were royalty enter
tanned, and spent two or three hours very
pleasantly, several sprightly old ladies
proving that they had not lost the knack
of being able to contribute to agreeable So
ciability Notwithstanding their seventy-fve
or eighty years. Mr.. Geo. Foote and fam
ily, of Woodland avenue, Cleveland, ,chanc-
ed to visit his mother at that time, and
spent the Sabbath here. Mrs Foote, whose
maiden name was Bicknell, was born and
raised in Sharon, Schoharie County, N. Y :,
her father keeping the hotel in the val
lev known as "Schoharie Flats" but most
of her married life was spent on a farm in
Lafayette, Medina Co., and she has lived
in Wellington only about fourteen years,
her husband dying here several years ago.
She is still vigorous, regular attendant
at church, and seems in the quickness of
her step to be about 1S years old or there
about.
Would not Rev. DR.. Vincent have been
black with modification, and green with
envy, could he have known that when he
was discoursing, the other night, in lofty
flights of oratory, and aiming to lift others
thoughts 10 his own mental altitude among
the heights, two of his season ticket' au-
dience were groveling in the local col
umns of the last Wellington ENTERPRISE.
And when they had studiously read and
inwardly digested those nourishing per
sonals, and transformed into mental and
spiritual aliment the latest gossip "from
the Townships" did they not further
ignore, and igursiively wither the orator
on the stand by written communications
and by undissembled manifestations of
sleepy endurance of his periodss Europe
and England or California may pipe their
adulations to false prophet; Chautauqua
may be imposed upon, but you can't fool
a Wellington schoolgirl upon what is
good. She is not going to pay reverence
to or endorse anything that is not first
class, not if all the old fogies in the house
seem to like 1t.
