Cursing the Book Agents.

Don't curse the book agents, unless they
bring you trash. Some people think any
one who has book is pest, without stop
ping to see whether he is a gentleman or a
rowdy, and whether he has a good book or
bad one. Some ofthe finest and best men
and women in the country are selling books,
and when such persons present a book so
useful and interesting as Parsons Hand
Book of Social and Business Forms" or
'The Women of Mormonism," both pub
lished by G. G.. G. Paine, Detroit, Mich,
people of culture and refinement feel that
such agents are doing good in the commu-
nifty and gladly give their own orders and
assist them in getting others.
Parsons Hand Book is proving a wonder
full success; about 80 orders have already
been obtained in Wellington from those
who know how to appreciate good book.
Some are leaving orders with friends who
have bought the book or sending word by
them to have the agent call. No young
man should fail to secure it, and it ought
to be in every home.
A few more young men of ability can gel
good chance for business by calling upon
NJ. Paine at the Bennett House or address
ing him here or at Detroit.

Wellingtonians Abroad.

We clip the following from The North
ern Pacific Farmer, published at Waudena,
Mimi:
Mr.. and Mrs. r. A. HorT, with their son
Charlie and little daughter Nellie, of Wei
lingtOn, Ohio, arrived in town Wednesday
afternoon. MIR. Horr is a member OF the
Ohio Senate and twin brother of Congress
man Horr of Michigan. They came to
spend a week or two with the family of
their son-in-law, II. b. Hamlin, and in the
mean time to look up its resources and ad-
vantages. We understand Mr.. Horr is
well pleased with the outlook. On Satur-
day morning a neighbor of Mr.. Horr, Mr..
A. G. Couch, the leading undertaken of
Wellington, o., arrived in our village, and
these men from the Buckeye State went
out on Saturday to view the beauties of
Leaf River township, going out by the
way of the old Peach mill and returning
by the shorter route from Mr.. Hamlin's
land on No. 10. AS this party returned
through our village the Ohio undertaken
was bearing aloft in one hand q mammoth
boquet given to him we suppose by some
fair daughter of the Leaf River woods
We wonder if he is gay LothariO at home
J We are sorry he made so short stay among

Fair Matters.

The prospect for a Fair of unusual inter
est to exhibitors from our own town and
those adjoining was never more favorable
than the coming 2sth Annual Exhibition of
this Society, Aug. %, 90 and so, 1888. The
affairs of this society have been managed
in such amauner during the past few years
as to insure confidence and success. All
premiums, purses and expenses have been
paid in full and TO the entire satisfaction
of exhibitors and others so far as has come
to the knowledge of the officers of this
Society.
Every farmer, every stock breeder, every
manufacturer and every public spirited
citizen of Wellington and the adjoining
towns should become a member of this
Society. Remember the oDening day is
this 2Sth of August Chat being next Tues
day. Let no one stay away, but all come
and bring your uncles, aunts and cousins.
Prof Oscar Hunt, the great Balloonist,
will make two grand and daring balloon
ascensions during the Fair. For further
particulars see large posters, bills aud an
other column in this paper.
On the second day of the Fair there will
be Bicycle contest, open to wheelmen of
Lorain County only. The distance to be
one turn of the track; start fIom stand still

Horribly Mangled.

Last Thursday night about O'Clock, a
breakman, Jay Fa.ley, of Cleveland, as he
was climbing nom the caboose TO freight
car, on a train coming in from Cleveland,
slipped and fell. His feet caught on the
drawbar, and another brakeman and the
conductor tried TO pull him up, but, failing
in this they uncoupled the caboose and
stopped it, His head was smashed fiat as
a board, no trace of his face being left
Death must have been instantaneous. Tie
engineer, missing his caboose when he
reached the station, backed down and
brought it in. Mr.. Blee was telegraped
and orders were TO send the body to Cleyc
land by next tain. The BODY was placed
in the hands of uDdertske- Couch P1d SEN

A Timely Book.

There Is no subject so promine ntly before
the American people at the present time as
that Of Mormonism. 1t Is the topic of the
hour. The newspapers and magazines are
filled with II, the ministers preach about it
and it is the topic Of private conversation.
The last article of the late DIR. Bacon was
''The Utah Problem" and was left unfinished
with the question "What are you going to do
about It." Most people think they know all
about 1t, but even the best informed after
perusing the pages OF the new book, ''The
Women of Mormonism" have to confess to
feelings of astonishment at the iniquities
there portrayed, and to admit that the half
had not been told.
Miss Frances E, Willard, in the introduc-
ton to the book, says: 81 haye read its pages
with thoughts too deep for tears. Some sui
phur shrouded planet may have vocabulary
fendish enough to fitly characterize what
they reveal, but mere English is only the yo-
cabulary Of a prating parrot in presence OF
such pathos and such woe."
1.-THE Women of Mormonism or the Story
Of PolygamY as Told by the Victims Them
selves" is an authentic work. 1t is edited
by lady In Salt Lake City, Utah, who has
long been one OF the leaders in the Anti-Po-
lygamy cause. She relates the stories of the
"victims" almost in their own words. The
persons who made the statements, many of
whom are still in the Mormon church and see
no way out, were willing to make private
afldavits to the truthfulness of their ac-
count.
ReY. Moses Smith, pastor of the Second
Congregational Church, Detroit, Mich,
writes: "I read the manuscript pages with
an interest which at times rose to astonish-
ment and indignation. This book am sure
will be found to be the right thing, in the
right place, at the right time and from the
right source. Every pastor in the land may
recommend the volume before he sees 1t, and
a million copies ought to be sold in one year."
This work is to make q great stir in the
country; every one who hears Of 1t wants to
read It. 1t Is sold only by subscription so as
to have 1t circulated as widely as possible
To places where no agent can be secured the
work will be sent by mail on receipt OF the
price 50.
The enterprising agent who secures choice
territory will be fortunate. We understand
the publisher desires good agents in this
county. Full particulars can be obtained by

gan. 1928

A correspondent asks us If one is justi-
fed in believing all the snake stories that
are set afloat each summer. We unhesi.
tatingly answer, Yes. A man or woman
without faith is barren desert, and there
is no good in them. The snake stories are
all founded upon the personal experiences
of "-eliable citizens" most of whom are
deacons or elders in the church. All con
scientious editors exercise great care over
their snake departments, and the Voice has
