Nearly SIG, GOO hat been raised toward the
extension OF the WayneSburg & Washington

is but 70 miles, and 1t Is thought 800, 900 will

The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1883-11-21

Our READERS have noticed, doubtless,
that all railroad companies in this section
and mostly in this country, have adopted a
uniform time on which to run their trains,
which went into effect the beginning of
this week As calculated for this division,
railroad time will be 30 minutes slow for
Wellington. This arrangement win lead
to endless misunderstanding and difficulty
unless we adopt railroad time for our stan
dard, and this would make the beginning
Of work,day, the school-day, the noon
hour, church-time, etc, a halfhour late.
1t could be obviated in a measure, how
ever, by making the work-day begin at 616
an; school at 81 a. m; noon at 111S a.
m; end of day at 81 p. m, and church at
10 g. m. This would be better than to at
tempt to carry two kinds of time. We do
not know who has authority to act in the
matter, but we feel inclined to make trial,
and would be glad to get an expression
from as many in the village as possible. II
a sufficient number favor it the town clock
can be changed, and in little time we
could adjust ourselves to the new arrange
ment with very little Inconvenience. We
hope TO receive by postal card the opinion
ofa hundred or more of our leading men
in time for our next issue, and we will give
our readers the result.
