Display Of Agricultural Implements.

AT eight o'clock last Saturday, yelling
ton began to fill up with our sturdy farm.
ers, TO attend the annual delivery of Cham
pion Reapers, Mowers and Cord Binders,
Hay Rakes, Wheel Cultivators, etc. The
delivery of machines was commenced at
once, until 43 Champion Machines, TO-
gether with some 10 or 20 Rakes and
Cultivators were loaded into the farmers
wagons, and driven from the freight house
to the square in front of the American
House, at which place over eighty partoolI
of a sumptuous dinner, provided by our
genial landlord, Mr.. VIM. Jordan.
After dinner a procession was formed
under the marshalship Of Mr.. Percy
Townsend, headed by the Wellington
band, which furnished excellent music Tor
the occasion, which marched through our
principal streets, back to the square and
were disbanded.
The farmers felt that they were most
generously entertained by Mr.. G.. E
Townsend, the wide awake and energetic
agent ef the Champion Company for this
place.
Mr.. Townsend has for number of years
been located in Brighton, where he had
by attentive work and fair dealing, built
up a fair trade. But wanting better locn.
tion with increased facilities, one year ago
purchased property here and moved into
our town. He has come to stay, and at
his place of business can be found full
line of agricultural implements, built by
the most reliable manufacturers. The
Champion Works are located at Spring.
field Ohio, and are the largest of the kind
in the world. They have a capacity for
over 100000 machines per year, and EN-.
ploy more than 1000 men. The demand
for those justly celebrated machines Is
rapidly increasing. ..
Mr.. G. A. Allen, of Painesville, the com.
pany's agent, was present and assisted in
the delivery. He informs us that he has
several large deliveries of machines 10
make between now and the Goth of June.

The Recent Fire.

To the Editor OF the ESTERPRIsE
The fire which occurred week ago
Sunday night seems to offer some ground
for remarks Of sufficient importance to be
laid before the public. II Is alleged that
the building was fired by an incendiary,
that person residing near by heard some
one In the building few moments before
the fire originated, that when the fire lie.
gan II ran quickly over the floor and up
the sides Of the house in such manner as
TO indicate that oil had been poured over
The surfaces. The fact that the house was
not In an inhabitablc condition; that II
stood alone; that the fire occurred on
night when most people were at church,
and that there was some i'll feeling on nc
count Of the damage done to trees in NOV.
ing, are all so much circumstantial evi.
dence In favor Of incendiarism as the
origin Of the fire. If this be the case, a
very daring act has been perpetrated in
village which has always prided itself on
lis good order, and the high moral charac-
ter of its people. Such an example might
lead others TO set fire to other property,
when the danger would be serious 10
adjoining buildings. II the motive was
fun, or the desire 10 witness the excite.
ment Of q fire, or to get rid of what was
considered shell, discreditable to other
buildings in Its neighborhood or for
revenge, II was in either case crime
which should be punished to the utmost
extent Of the law.
There is apparently a disposition to take
matters Of this kind easily, when the build.
ing is old and comparatively worthless
doubtless forgetting that those engaged in
the preparation of this crime viii grow
bolder, by escaping detection. and will not
always discriminate between the old tum-
ble.down, painless, weather.blasted rock.

cluded TO have a ride, and hitched up the
strange steed, loaded the little folks in,
but were very soon all spilled out and
the horse was gong at a frightful pace
across the square and down South Main
street, when the congregations were dis
persing at noon, and people going to
Sunday School, The horse was caught
where he overturned the broken buggy at
s. W. corner of the Park.
1T has been suggested that the 4th of
July, is not far off, and that no public
and general celebration of the day has
been held here Tor many years. The
children are missing something, who have
never attended one Of these old-fashioned
expressions of patriotism, and perhaps
1t is due them 10 have an occasion where
the events commemorated, may be briefly
rehearsed, and they be taught to cherish
the ideas and sentiments necessary to
hearty and loyal love of country. If
anything is done it is time to begin
preparations, and we are not in favor of
celebration here unless there can be
sobriety and good order. A word to the
wise IS sufficient.
The band wagon was twice filled
with members of the Woman's Relief
Corps, in conveying them to and from
the cemetreies on Decoration Day, and
Others went in carriages. The streets
We're populous with interested spectators
from town and counry, and there was
abundant breeze to futter the flags and
drapery of national colors, that decorated
private and public buildings. Miniature
cyclones gathered up everything loose in
the street, and all day the dust was blind
ing, with an occasional sprinkle of rain in
the afternoon, which heightened the ex-
citement, and prevented some from going
to the cemeteries, but was insufficient to
materially interfere with the arrangements
for celebrating the day.
The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1884-06-04

cries that have become an eysore, and an
offence to every lover Of beauty and thrift,
andi those more valuable and In closer
proximity to other buildings that may be
involved in common ruin. If this kind
OF slackness prevails, we may expect a
continuance Of the incendiary fires of
which we have already had five or six, and
no one can feel that his property is safe, If
by any means he may have incurred the
displeasure of this cowardly and criminal
class of society. Such crimes should
receive the prompt and energetic con-
demnation of the whole community, and
no effort spared to bring their perpetrators
to punishment.
There is another matter in connection
with the fire in question that deserves at
tention. AT one time the hose was ordered
to be turned upon the crowd assembled,
because the men when ordered refused to
work at the pump, but the order or the act
can hardly be justified or excused. The
fire men had no time 10 spare from the
burning building 10 drench promiscu-
Gus crowd Of men,, women and children
with water needed on the fire. Had the
building been valuable one and the
fire obviously dangerous, there would have
been no lack of men at the pumps. 1t
was piece of fun all around, and it is to
be hoped 1t will never be repeated.
And this suggests a reflection for the
authorities of this town. 1t is well known
that working at these hand pumps is the
most exhausting and injurious kind of
labor in the world Many persons in
weak health are entirely unable TO take
any part in such work. There is scarce
q fire OF much magnitude at which one or
more persons do not suffer siege of sick
ness from exhaustion, in laboring too long
and hard at the pumps. Al every fire
there is danger Of a complete collapse OF
the efficiency of the Fire Department, from
lack of men willing to work at these bar
barous machines. II Is amazing that
town of the size, enterprise, and wealth of
Wellington, in these days of steam en-
gines, should be numbering along with
these old fashioned hand pumps, and
upon occasion driving her patrician citi-
zens, like convicts at the end of the lash
TO such exhausting labor. A town hall is
sadly needed, but before it comes, had
there better not be some adequate kind of
machinery for putting out fire in it
should one ever occur, without killing, by
over-work every ablebodied man in the
village. r ....t.
One thing more, the throng had an
opportunity in going to and coming from
the fire to test for themselves the charact-
er of some of The sidewalks on Taylor and
Barker streets. They are no worse than
some of the walks on both north aud
south main. To say that they are execrable
is so mild putting it that from very des.
pair at its ineficiency, there is tempta.
tion TO curse the mother tongue. Whose
BUSINESS is it to see to such things? Why
do they not attend to 1t? A tight rope
performer, runs no such risk Of falling and
breaking limbs, as do citizens in walking,
especially in company, over these imper.
feet sidewalks.
Yours for improvement, every time.

considerations of expense. OF still
greater Importance is the cost in

The feeling of bitterness against st
John is expressing itself in various
localities through the process Of burning
him in effigy. This is process which
people sometimes adopt to show theil
extreme contempt for an individual. In
the case OF Mr.. st. John the attention be
is receiving is fully deserved. He v vent
into the national contest, not with any
hope that he might win the presidency,
but with the deliberate purpose
Of defeating she only party
which ever extended any encour.
agement to the prohibition move
ment. He consorted with the
national brewers association and with
the party which openly aud avowedIy
opposed every proposition within the
platform upon which his canvass was
made. II Mr.. Cleveland is elected
president, the tanatlcal followers of St.
John are responsible for the result. The
reasonable element in the prohibition
patty-the men and women intellect
ually broad enough to look upon the
question as one in which the country at
large is interested-do not disguise thei,
feelings of indignation over tn. deplcra.
bic work of this self installed apostle oi
reform. They know full we'll that they
can expect no aid and no sympathy from
democratic party in power and that al
their past efforts IN behalf OF their cause
are likely to be neutralized through the
funatical acts of an alleged leader. Tht
few who rejoice at Mr.. St. John'
destructive success profess to imagin,
that by the defeat Of the republican
party they can secure its future co
operation. No graver error could posi-
bly, exist. Republicans will not b
coerced Or humiliated into an acceptapc
of the st. John doctrine, but will aban
don their previous attitude of friendli-
ness and declare war against the imprac
ticables who prefer to ruin if they car
not rule. Prohibition, as a politics
| question, was buried under its $500
votes in New York on the 4th inst.
