LOCAL HAPPENINGS.

CITY council OF Elyrla, gives Ilat C0Wn
population Of 1878.
What will become Of we poor, married
men when we have to support four
millinery establishments in Wellington2
II you don't believe that some of the
sidewalks in town need repairing. just
mount your wheel, when the roads are
muddy, and ride over them. 1t would be
we'll, before starting, to take out a 81, 900
accident policy.
A young man named Hamler, living
in Wellington township, was quite ser
iously hurt last Thursday by horse
stepping on his left leg. The boy was
brought to DR.. Hathaway'S Office and the
wound sewed up, six stitches being used
in the operation.
A substantial stone pavement is being
laid on the north side Of what is called
Lovers lane" the last street running
east and west on the south side Of town.
The walk will only extend half the
length Of the street, however, and it
should 60 the full length, by all means.
Mrs. L. Stemple Of the American
House, has very handsome collection
Of plants and shrubs in her garden,
and among them, fine Gamma Lilly.
The seed from which the plant was
grown and brought from the famous
Killarney gardens, Ireland, by friend
and presented to Mrs. stemple.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roy Bennett returne d
home from Cleveland, last week. The
injury to Mr.. BENEFITS eye did not prove
as serious as was at first feared, and 1t
is expected that the eye will in time
recover its former vision. We con gratu
late Mr.. Bennett upon his fortunate
escape from a serious and permanent in
jury.
Mayor Couch has had force Of men at
work in the cemetery this week, laying
out additional lots, and making general
improvements. It is probable that a
sewer system will be placed in the ceme-
terry soon to carry off the water, which in
times Of rain, stands in the rOadways
and other low places. Wellington has
avery pretty cemetery, and it is well
cared for at all seasons Of the year.
II would be safer to pedestrians If
wheelmen who are PERMITTED the use Of
the walks during inclement weather,
would dismount and lead their machines
when coming into the business portion
Of town where the walks are apt to be
more crowded. Persons are liable to issue
from stores, Unexpectedly to the rider, and
step right in front Of the wheel, and in
such q case, an accident would be una
yoidable, A proper consideration for the
rights and feelings Of others should con-
strain wheel riders to observe this rule.
II advertising does not pay, why is it
that the Youths Companion gets over
$8O0a year for one-inch space each
issuep How is 1t that the Ladies' Home
journal gets $4,000 for page ADJ Why
do four advertisers pay 5000 each for a
quarter page ad Oh the back cover in
Munsey's Magazinep Are advertisers
throwing their money away like this, or
does it really pay them9 1t certainly
pays, and an advertisement in The En-
terprise would pay our local merchants
just as much as the larger journals in
proportion to the cost and circulation.
We notice the leaves are already be-
ginning turn on some Of the trees, and
this reminds us that ere long winter
SHOWS will be falling, and we shall need
another supply of coal to keep us warm.
The farmers are getting good prices for
their wheat nowadays, and little more
than one bushel will pay up the sub
scriptiOn to the Enterprise Send it
along sOOn--not the wheat but the
money and when sitting around a glow
CRATE during the cold weather, we will
recall your generosity with feelings Of
deep thankfulness, and when you die we
will write you column obituary and
not charge Jour sOrrowing widow cent
for the space.
Assistant Superintendent Cherry, Of
the Central Union Telephone Company
visited Wellington yesterday. Mr..
Cherry announces that that the yelling.
line will be entirely rebuilt; the work tC
commence at once. New poles will re-
place the old ones, which are In many
cases becoming unfit for service, and the
present circuit will be changed to com.
plete metallic ci.cuit. Single service
will be given on party lines, without
disturbing other subscribers, and in every
way the new service will be more com.
pIete and satisfactory to the patrons. The
cost Of rebuilding the line is estimated
at $1,000, which sum will be distributed
among our business men in the course Of
trade.
