THE EDIroRs AT WESTON. .

GulJOTh opBCk OI G7emDerVlltO, w III
kinson OF North Baltimore, and Blne
and wife of Perry sburg we're entertain
ed by Editor Saxby and wife Mt Wes-
ton last Monday. We were dined at
the Commercial House, in elegant style
and Saxby showed us the town and ex-
planned its many attractions. The ed
itors were taken into the City Council
| chambers where the august village
fathers went and played seven-up to
see who will stand treat. Next we were
shown the city bastile, where big head
ed men are allowed to lie down on a
slippery elm bench with scrub oak
knot for pillow, and Saxby says the
only fine imposed for a plain drunk is
that he must remain in the prison un-
til his head sufficiently decreases in
size to allow him to squeeze through
the hoop pole fence used for bars to the
prison. We were also shown the vii
lage school building which was larger
than the jail,-but not much so. There
are several departments to the school
some are indoors and some are outdoors
There is good site for school build
ing but the house is certainly not very
slightly for a town OF the size and
wealth OF Weston. We were informed
that some time ago vote for a new
school building carried by a majority
OF about II. but it was afterwards learn
ed that two voters had been out of town
and didn't get home in time and had
not an opportunity to make known
their preferences by means of the all
powerful ballot" therefore no further
action was taken toward new school
house, and now they use the wood shed
for one OF the departments. There
is only one more building on the school
grounds that is not used for class room.
but its size is such that it will hardly
be used unless the roof is taken as an
observatory. Too bad! Weston is too
nice town to be so deficient in public
buildings.
Saxby brought out mis- cut OF the
burnt district and together with the
city surveyor succeeded in showing
wherein the cut properly described the
locality of the fire, although it is be-
lieved that Speck don't see it vet.
After viewing the ruins made by the
fire, and the sorry looking public build
ings, it was a pleasant change to walk
down some of the principal streets and
see the many very handsome, and in
fact, elegant private residences of some
of Weston's citizens.
Weston is nice town. They have
Angels there. And Nudge, the drug.
gist, has one of the largest and neatest
drugstores to be found in Northwest
ern Ohio, and Nudge and his worthy
assistant Ed. Saxby, are that sort o.
people it is pleasure to meet.
They have several business houses
in town that are doing their share o.
business and are letting the people
know it in two and three column ads
in the Herald.
The grist mill and elevator are doing
immense business and are great bene
fits to the town.
After being highly entertained by
editor Saxby and wife, and the genia
DIR. Schooley and his estimable wife
the editors and large quantity o
poultry were loaded on the evening
train and took their departure. The
poultry went to Toledo, but it wasn'
our fault.
The next meeting of the association
will be held at Toledo in November, II
: the Boody house ~ and the manager
: of the Peoples Theatre will entertain
the association ut a matinee perform
ance at their Theatre-at SOC each.
