call Of the president in company B, of

recently organized in the city of Lorain.
James Jones has sold his coal, wood,
draying and livery business to B. H. Dur
ling and Geo. Bly,, both of this place, and
who took possession Monday. The firm
will be known as Durling & BLY, here
after.
The Epworth League Of the Methodist
Church will hold a social in the Sunday
school room this evening. Delegates to
the convention recently held in Medina
will give their report. A very interest
ing program has been prepared.
"Uncle" John Long informed US yes
terday when he renewed his subscription
t thie paper that he was the first person
to subscribe for the Enterprise, when it
first started. Mr.. Long is one of the old
est as well as the most highly respected
citizens of this town.
Mr.. r. C. Cushion and family, who
have been making their home in Berea,
o., for the past year, have moved back 10
Wellington their former home, and will
reside in their former residence on Bar
ker street. Their many friends welcome
them back. Mr.. Cushion is now with
j. NJ. 0tterbacher.
The killing of tramp, recently,
named Murphy in Medina, by an incOm-
petpnt deputy-marshal and the failure Of
a jury to make an Indictment against
him, is likely yet to result seriously for
the deputy. A brother and some of the
murdered mans friends are lurking
around in that vicinity, evidently wait
ing for chance to do him bOdi y harm.
We learn from an exchange that Rev.
DR.. John Mitchell, at one time presid-
ing elder in the Methodist Church. and
who is well known in this town, in an
interview with Leader reporter has an
nounced his intention of going to the
front in case of war. Rev. Mitchell pro-
poses TO 60 as chaplain of the fifth regi-
ment. He has, already an enviabIe war
record, having been in the late war.
George Southerly, a professional "hO-
bo" was arrested by Marshal Williams
Monday morning for threatening to kill
Mr.. Galloway, farmer living ~ miles
east of town. 1t seems that Southerly
stopped at the Galloway farm to get
something to eat, and on being refused
made the above threat. He was bound
over to the next term of court, and in de-
fault of 5000 bail was committed to the
county Jail.
The formal reception rendered the choir
and orchestra and ex-members OF both,
together with the young people of the
congregation Saturday evening, by the
Ladies' BenevOlence society of the Con-
gregatiOnal Church, was success.
Good music was furnished and thorough
ly enjoyed, light refreshments served and
fully appreciated, judging by the way
they disappeared, afterwhich games and
social chat completed very delightful
evening.
Those who attended last Sunday even
ing service at the Congregational church
enjoyed treat in both the stereOpticOn
pictures shown, as well as the brief ad-
dress that accompanied them by Pastor
Irvine of the Friendly Inn OF Cleveland,
The short talk on the different phases Of
the life of the friendless and helpless OF
both sexes was intensely interesting,
partly because it touched on topic on
which the general reading public is but
little posted, and partly because the
speaker is resident and labOrer in q
city an hours ride away.
Work on the new Jail is progressing
finely, and in a very short time will be
ready for occupancy" Some delay in
the work was caused by the necessity Of
ordering some special iron work. Ober'
lin Owl.
Would that Wellington could say as
much, for we are sorely in need Of a new
jail. In its present condition, real
smart crook could not be kept within Its
walls over night, unless guarded by an
armed posse. Should the weary won
dering Willies" cOntinur to swarm In
our little burg as in the past, the hOtel
Accommodations will prove entirely made
quate for their accommodation.
