For The ENTERPRISE.
"Reminiscences Of Early DAYS.

| came to Wellington IN 1886, when 10
years of age. Ny coming vas on this
wise: My father, the late Col. Matthew
Allyn, had three hundred acres OF land in
the northeast part OF tnwn, covered by the
primeval forest. The family, consisting
OF father, mother, grandmother and nine
children were living in Portage county.
In company with brother IA months
older, | left home Ms avaunt sauriers to
build house for the reception of the fam
lily. We selected place on the rising
ground where the house now stands, cut
and cleared away the trees and commenced
to build log house My brother returned
to help move" the family. Austen Finch
who had settled the year before on the
adjoining lot on the east, was employed to
help build the house. Together we
worked industriously. Some tall bass
wood were split, making two logs out of
one, but generally the logs were hewn ou
the inside so as 10 make a rustic finish.
The roof was covered with shakes held in
place with poles the length of the house,
with some projection at each end. There
was stack Of chimney in the middle
dividing the house into two rooms above
aud two below, with fire places in each
room below.
Whatever we may say OF these log
houses, they were always we'll ventilated
Air could escape through the roof, so that
stiffness was impossible. The reason
that was subjected to so hard a task In
early life was, that my father was disabled
by blindness and poor health.
My first Sunday in Wellington was on
the sad occasion oil the funeral of Homer
DeWoli, only son of Matthew De Wolf,
then prominent business man. The SER
vices were conducted by Joel Talcott,
minister Of the Congregational church,
which met in the brick town bouse. He
took for his text: "He being dead yet
speaketh." Heb. 11-4. The sermon was
an impressive reminder of the certainty OF
death, the uncertainty of life, and the I'M
portance of being prepared for the great
change. At length the house was finished
and occupied, land cleared, an orchard
planted and a scboolhouse built. A saw
mill was also built where the road crosses
Wellington Creek. A barn was also built,
covered with black walnut boards, where,
in the west gable, may he seen the figures
lSiO cut halfa century ago by the same
hand that writes these lines. Black walnut
then bad no commercial value as 1t was
not yet used for furniture nor were there
facilities TO get it to an eastern market.
Two brothers we're born on this farm.
The widow Of one lives in South Dakota;
the other resides in Ventura, California.
My father, mother, grandmothers and
three brothers have died on this farm
which Few years ago passed out Of this
family.

A Plain Statement.

We offer no back number prizes
to draw trade, neither do we use
any lottery or gift scheme to di-
vert attention from long profits
and short goods. Such question
able methods and zigzag antics in
trade may confuse and mislead
buyers occasionally, but you
"can't fool all the people all the
time"
Best goods at fair pri-
ces, straight bargains,
unobscured by prize RI
ders or other gambling
devices never corrupt
either buyer or seller.
We stand by the proposition
that eHorts spent IN obtaining the
best, healthiest and most desira-
BILE goods, such as will recommend
themselves and sell on their own
merits, is much more commenda-
BILE than either the "now you see
it, and now you don't" or big talk
in big type about astonishingly
low prices.
Hence, when you want delivered
just such provisions, vegetables,
ripe and evaporated fruits, confec-
tionery, pickles, canned goods
flour, crackers. fresh roasted cof-
fee, fancy tea, salt, lime, cement,
calcined plaster, glassware, crock
cry, etc., as recommend them
selves without big-lettered adver-
tisements, at just what they are
worth, go to

SKINS ON FIRE
With Itching, Burning, Bleeding
EcZemaS Instantly Relieved
by Cuticura Remedies.

Our little will be four years of age the 18th
inst. In May, 1881 he was attacked with very pain
fu breaking out Of the skin. We called in physi-
cian who treated him for about four weeks. The
child received little good from the treatment,
the breaking out, supposed by the physician TO
be hives in aggregated form, became larger in
blotches, and more and more distressing. We were
frequently obliged to get up in the night and rub
him with soda in water strong liniments, etc. Fin
ally called other physicians until no less than six
had attempted to cure him, all alike, failing, and
the child steadily getting worse and worse, until
about the 10Th of last July, when began to give
him CUTICURA REsoLvENT internally. and the
CCTICURA and CUTICURA SOAP externally, and
by the last of August he was so nearly well that we
gave him only dose of the RESoLvENT about
every second day for about ten days longer and he
has never been troubled since with the hoTTid NAL
ady. In all used less than half of bottle of
CUTICURA RESoLyENT, a little less than one box of
CUTICURA, and only cake of CUTICURA SOAP.

Commencing Sunday, July 131S90, the
Missouri Pacific railway will run through
sleeping cars from St. Louis via Pleasant
Hill, Rich Hill, Fort Scott and Wichita to
Geneseo and from thence to Pueblo. Colo
RADIO Springs and Denver. This change
was made on account of great many peo-
pie from the east going to Colorado being
DESTROYS of going via Wichita. The train
will stop here two hours, giving all a
chance to view the Peerless Princess and
still land passengers i'll Colorado same
time as if they had gone via Kansas City
1t also gives the citizens of Wichita sleep
ing car service from here to Colorado. Re
turning, it gives us through sleeping car
service Wichita tOSt. Louis, and gives the
Colorado people a chance to go east via
Wichita. This change will undoubtedly
be appreciated by the travelling public, and
especially by the citizens of Wichita. If
you are going east or west go via the pop
ular new through route. Through chair
and sleeping car service. New route just
completed between Fort Scott and Rich
Hill goes through the finest mineral and
agricultural country in the west. Don't
forget the new short line to ST. Louis or
Colorado.

pretty, if not quite SO daring. Nearly all
costumes nowadays belong to two classes
They are either daring or exceedingly
simple.
A very dainty dress of this style is
made of wash silk, in stripes of gray,
green and pale pink. The corsage is
made quite plain as to trimming, there
being no attempt at any kind except
such as is afforded by draping the fabric

never, or hardly ever, a supply without a

Gowns for full dress for young ladies
are now all cut in the ingenue style
square in the neck, with ruff1e of lace
or muslin all around. The fashion is be-
coming and pretty. With this manner
of dressing the hair is cut short all
around the face, and cOmbed down
straight and slightly curled at the ends.
In the back it is fastened in a Catogan
braid, and tied with ribbon to match

Some very pretty gowns for young

postiche, as there is no woven bordering
