GOLDEN WEDDING,
MIR. and Mrs. George ii. Norton Cele'
brate Their Fiftieth Anniversary.

Mr.. and Mrs. George IL. Norton Cele-
brate Their Fiftieth Anniversary.
1t is rare occurrence that in one
family of brothers and sisters there
should be four golden weddings. Mrs.
George III. Norton of Penfield a sister
of f. w. Houghton of Wellington on
the sixth of May was the fourth of
her family to celebrate such an ami
versary. Mr.. and Mrs. Norton well
coined to their home on that beauti-
full day four brothers, two sisters, one
brother-in-law, three sisters-in-law, all
their children and grandchildren,
several nephews and neices, neighbors
and friends, their pastor and family
and altogether large company who
were royalty entertained and enjoyed
a rare treat in every way.
The literary or after-dinner pro-
gram was well conceived and carried
out and embrace reminiscence, low
ing appreciation, family loyalty and
affection and with enough of the
humorous to save it from being a
lowry day. The tribe was surprised
to find that they had so many poets
among them. Sense, delicacy and ten
derness embodied family history il
rhymes having no limping metres
and in the reading brought smiles
and tears.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cassius Wilson ant
Miss Laura Wilson have returned Il
their home at Shelby, Mich, but Mr.
and Mrs. Philo Penfield will remain
some weeks visiting friends, Mr.
Penfield being in poor health. Mis-
Christie, of Michigan and Miss Emma
Houghton of Ft. Scott, Kas., neices
were present.
Mr.. Norton's youth was in a perio,
in Penfield when "Man was famou
according as he lifted up axes upol
the thick trees" and his pleasan
home surroundings are the reward O
a lifetime of industry and prudence
in which he had the cooperation o
wife and children. But manual labo
did not absorb all the time and ene1
gies. Mr.. Norton has always been
reader, student and thinker, and hi
capability, integrity and modest
have commanded the confidence an
regard of neighbors, citizens an
friends, and he has, since his youn
manhood, filled with rare conscient
iousness many positions of trust.

GREATER WELLINGTON!
A Chance for More Prosperity-Does 1t
hit you?

The way to boom the town is to buy
what we need right here. Every dol
lar left in town makes it the dollar
richer, when taken away-that much
poorer. If you are substantial friend
to the growth and interests of the
town, patronize the business houses.
This makes business, and makes every
dollars worth of property you own
in town more valuable.
If you are dissatisfied or unfrend-
ly with some of our business houses,
that is no reason why you should not
buy from some of the others. When
you do not do this, you are in the
fault. and not the business houses or
the town.
Electric lights and water works
don't make business, but its business
that bring such improvements.
In certain paper published in
Lorain County an item frequently
appears under Wellington correspon-
dence that Mrs. X. and Mrs. Y. were
in- shopping. Now Mr.. Y. and
Mr.. Y. are property holders in Well
ington, paying taxes on real and per
sonal property. They are evidently
so near-sighted they can't see
that every dollar their wives spend
out of Wellington is so much less bus
mess for Wellington, and the less busi
ness, done in town, the less means o
pr rosperity.

with the city and remarked in decid-

STRIFE IN THE RANKS.
The Perturhed Condition of Affairs
Amoug MaryIand Republicans.

The appointment Of Capt. William IL.
Potter in the Inspector Generals Office D.
the War Department has cleared up TO
some extent the reason for TIE frequent
and mysterious visits of Congressman Sid
ney MUdd to that department.
Friends Of Capt. Gordon- OF hiadensfurg,
have asserted that Congressman Mudd was
interested in the charges against the army
officer, hut this is strenuoudy denied by
Mr.. Mudd, VINO claims that his visits were
solely I'm the interest OF Capt. Potter,
whose selection he points TO as a signal
triumph over tie antagonism Of Col. Aims
worth, who fought MFR. Potter's reinstate-
ment from the beginning.
Mr.. Mudd has been greatly in demand
at the Capitol. Among his recent callers
Were Washington Tuck, who expects ~
secure appointment as collector Of the
port at Baltimore, nd state Senator George
Day. A great effor, is being made 20
reconcile the badly broken ranks Of the
republican party in Maryland, and espe-
cially in Prince George county, where there
is a general scramble for office.
James Relt, son OF the late John Belt.
for years clerk Of the county court, is d
candidate for the office vacated by his
father. Mr.. Belt has the support OF Con
gresham Mudd and Senator Wellington
on the other hand, Mr.. Robert Hunter,
CLERK TO TTea surer r. p. Castle, is Mr..
Belts opponent, and he is Endorsed by the
anti-Madd faction, which is also support
ing Capt. Gordon for the State senato1ship.
1t has just been learned that in Forest
lille the other night Capt. Gordon secured
q victory ia the selection OF delegates to
the county convention. A meeting OF the
Republican Club of the district was called,
and Just before it was adjourned Horace
CroZier, who is leading the iIunter-Gordon
people, proposed the Endorsement of the
five deiegates which it is proposed to
send to the convention.
A vote was taken. and atits conclusion it
was discovered that the anti-Mudd people
had secured three out of the five persons
named. Friends of Mr.. Mudd and Mr.. Belt
say that they were totally unprepared for
any such Endorsement and that it was a
snap arrangement. Much interest centers
in the Prince George primaries, which are
to be heldon the cath of thismonth, between
8 and O'Clock in the afternoon.
