The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1884-01-02
THE "ENTERPRISE."

We make our best vow to our readers
at the beginning Of this year, glad ia
announce that we have not only turned
over new leaf, but two of them, max.
ing Cur paper an eight'page instead Of
four, and adding a large amount Of
desirable reading matter. We make a
variety Of departments to meet the tastes
and necessities of all classes, to which
we invite careful attention.
We mention the following, which will
be regular feature Of each issue: Po-
litical, General News, Miscellany, Agri.
cultural, Religious, Youths Department,
Fiction, and the usual Editorial matter,
Local and County News. We shall at
tempt TO classify our local matter more
than hitherto, especially that relating to
Marriages, Deaths, Obituaries, Amuse.
ments, Society Meetings. Church and
Sunday School, etc.
BY reference 10. the headings, It will be
seen that few things that have been
published free, will hereafter be charged
for at the rate Of oue.half to one cent a
word. For this we make no apology, as
they are such items as are usually paid
for in other places, and belong legiti-
mately among those things that are
everywhere expected to yield a revenue
to a publisher. With the large increase
we are making in the size Of the paper
and amount of reading matter, It will be
impossible for US TO continue to donate
that for which we could always have
properly charged. We have made our
price for local and transient notices by
the word, as being the more iutelligible
and easily calculated by the advertiser,
while 1t is at the same time conces-
sion In his favor, since II makes reduc.
tion in price, Of from two to four cents
line. Each advertiser can calculate
the cost In advance, and can make his
notice long or short, according to his
taste AID the amount Of money he wishes
to pay.
1t is our purpose TO give increased at.
tention to correspondence from neigh
boring townships, as well as to the local
news Of our own, and will make ar.
rangements with one person from each,
to send us a short lstter every week.
On our first page will be found new
feature in Time Tables for arrival and
departure Of trains; County, Township,
and Corporation Officers; Church and
Society Directory, partially complete
this week, but we hope soon to be able
to give, as regular feature, the names
Of officers, times Of meetings, etc., Of
every fraternity and society in the vii.
lage.
Our Business Cards appear in a new
and more attractive dress, 10 which at.
tention is called. We hope to see most,
II not all our business houses repre-
sented In our columns by cards or dis
played advertisements, and to this end,
we expect very soon to make a personal
presentation Of this matter to each Of
our business men. Everything else in
Wellington is growing and improving.
Our town has the reputation OF being
one Of the most ambitious, enterprising,
wide-awake towns in Northern Ohio,
and we believe the time has come when
the village and country surrounding, can
support home paper slightly more pre-.
tentious at least, than we have been
making. and we show our faith in the
intelligence and llberality Of the people,
and their disposition to build up and
sustain home enterprise, risking con.
siderable increase Of labor and capital
for what, IL 1t proves a success, will be
