history as three successive open winters.
The tramp fraternity find 1t very un-
pleasant 10 indulge In their ANNALS as
the people have decided that If any one is
needy, the community In which he
resides will care for him, hence the pro-
priety Of tramping around is all nonsense.
Miss Eva Brown, instructor in the Pri-
mary department Of the Union Schools,
has been granted leave of absence for
an indefinite time on account Of III health.
Miss Brown expects to leave for the
South in few days. Miss Nellie Horr
has been selected to I'll the vacancy.
The name Of W. b. Follansbee is an-
nounced for the position Of Food and
Dairy Commissioner. Mr.. Follansbee
has given an unusual amount of attention
to such matters, and has had many years
Of experience; therefore Governor-elect
Campbell could make no mistake in con-
ferring the honor upon him.
An unusual number of old and dear
friends called upon us within the past
week and aside from leaving their CON-
pliments for the season, one dollar and
fifty cents was left on our table. The
days have been very dark and cloudy but
still the printers sanctum was very bril-
liantly lighted. All come again.
An old fashioned "deestrick Skule"
will be held In the opera house sometime
early in February under the auspices Of
the G. A. r. and w. r. @. with w. r.
Wean as teacher and many Of our leading
citizens as scholars. The "skule" has
beed presented in Elyria and other places
with great success. Further notice here
after.
Please remember your friends by send
Ing them copy of your home paper. In
conferring this favor Il sayes writing a
host OF letters and at the same time II
your friends ever visit you II will relieve
you the unpleasant duty Of answering
numberless questions, as they will be
well versed on matters in this vicinity as
they have read II in THE ENTERrRrsE
before they came. Our clerk can stand
an unusual amount Of pressure in receiv-
ing subscriptions, In fact he can not be
over-worked,
There appears to be quite contrast In
the kind Of presents purchased at
the jewelry store now than In former
years. AT present something is pur-
chased for friend or relative that will be
Of some service through life, while In
former times the barbarous practice was
indulged in Of pelrcing the ears by both
sexes TO bear the burden Of some orna-
ment Of jewelry. Many other things Of
like nature was purchased. We are glad
to say the barbarous practice referred to
IS gradually being abandoned as the
more progressive minds appear to be
content to permit the laws Of nature TO
remain intact.
The warden Of the penitentiarY has de-
clded that unless A. d. Garrett takes his
child into custody he will enter complaint
to the infrmary directors Of Medina
county for Its removal. If this is done
who will the warden delegate to perform
the solemn duty Of taking the little one
from Its mother. As II Is a case without
precedent we think Mrs. Garrett should
be allowed the privilege OF retaining her
child, as that Is the only comfort now lefl
her. In view OF all the circumstances
connected with the case at the home OF
Garrett In Spencer, we are inclined tc
think that executive clemency should
interfere with MIRA CARROTS sentence
af,er a reasonable service has expired, and
set her at liberty. There Is no doubt bul
the charges against her are true, but still
there are many things connected with the
affair on the part Of others that has no
been shown up clear 70 the public.
Eight individuals from here were
called TO Ashland last week TO testify or
the part OF the State against the partie'
who sold Laundon, Windecker q Co. q
quantity ofcloser seed from that vicinity
a short time since. On their arrival, one
OF the accused had decided TO reveal the
whole affair on promise Of freedom
He explained to the jury how the
different lots Of the clover seed wa'
looked up and carried away in the might
season and secreted until the full amount
was secured that was subsequently
brought to Wellington and sold tc
Laundon, Windecker q Go. The witness
revealed the name Of another young mar
In the vicinity who was helper in steal
ing and secretlng the seed, who was Inn
medIately placed under arrest, and two O
the trio will doubtless get a free ride Il
Columbus. The clover seed still remain
In the possession Of Laundon, Windeckei
