to have the production lessened with

The enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 188?-1899, 1896-04-29

The sailing of Miss Minnie NaylOr last
Saturday for two months trip abroad,
to be spent in travel and study, calls to
mind others of our high school alumni,
who have thus been hOnOred for high at
tainments in scholarship.
Prof. Frank L. VanCleef, of the class
of 80, during his postgraduate course at
Harvard won scholarship, giving him
the privilege of year or two of study
in Germany. He entered the University
at Bonn and returned with a Doctors de-
gree from that renowned institution.
His success, since his return as professor
Of Greek, both at the University of Wis
consin and at Cornell University, shows
that he knew how to take advantage OF
the excellent opportunities of college and
university life.
We also recall to mind the honor con
ferred upon another one of our high
school boys, Rev. Will H. Eglin, Of the
class of '85. Having graduated with
honor from Delaware, he entered Drew
Theological Seminary, where, at the con,
clusiOn of three years course, he was
given, as a result of competitive exam
inatiOn in Greek, fellowship at ole
Oxford, England, where he spent q de-
lightful and profitable year in study, thC
better fitting him for his life work.
And now again is our high schoO
hOnored through a member of the clas,
of '92. Miss NaylOr is surely to be con
graduated on securing scholarship
granting to her the pleasure and profit o.
study and travel abroad. She has de
monstrated that our girls are keeping
pace with our boys in securing schOl
astic hOnOrs. May such honOrs, so worth
lily won, stimulate more of our boys an(
girls to higher aims and higher attain
ments.

1t is with deep regret that we an

way and family from Wellington to

New London nineteen years ago, bought
several acres Of land in the west part Of

which he erected dwellings to the
number of fifteen or sixteen altogether.
On portion Of it he opened brick
yard and has been one of the largest

The Council,

The council convened in an adjourned
session Monday evening. The session
was held in the interest of purchasing
additional land for cemetery purposes.
The cemetery south Of town is owned
jointly with Wellington township; there
fore it is under control of the agents for
the village and the trustees Of the town
ship. Sometime since, the trustees Of
the cemetery made request upon the
council for additional ground, as the lots
werO about all disposed of in the ground
purchased in 1862. The mayor then
authorized the clerk to notify the town
ship trustees to meet with the council
and trustees of the cemetery Monday
evening. The mayor, clerk, all the men,
bers Of the council, the township trustees
and A. G. Couch and Vim. Vischer Of
the cemetery trustees were present. The
mayor then stated the object Of the meet
ing. The land desired to be purchased
belongs to Mrs. Esther A. Horr and lies
adjacent to the north and west sides of
the cemetery. The trustees had held a
conference with Mrs. HOrr several days
ago, but it seems that the price could not
be agreed upon. Mrs. HOrr then sug-
gested that Mr.. E. F. Webster be selected
as sole referee. The chairman Of the
board reported this to the meeting Mon
day evening and the matter was dis
cussed for about two hours, when a vote
was taken and all voted in the affirma-
tive but E. M. Vincent and Z. H. Wait.
The mayor, A. &. Sheldon, G. Sage and
W. D. Hall were appointed as a com
mittee to visit the premises and see
where they desired to purchase and how
much land and report at the next meet
ing. The council then adjourned.
