The gray-haired veterans with their
ever interesting stories Of army life,
their loyal wives and patriotic sons and
daughters, together with the rompine
grandchildren composed one Of the
jolliest and liveliest companies old
Lake Erie has ever seen. Among the
stirring speeches at the campfire was
an amusing and one much applauded

ELECTRIC ROAD
Between Oberlin and Wellington Depends
Upon Property Owners. n

Whether an electric line will be
built between Wellington and 0berlin
depends entirely upon the property
owners between the two towns. The
company state the line will not pay if
right of way has to be purchased.
The following letter from F. I. Pom
eroy, general manger of the G. B. E.
q 0. Ry. Co. addressed to Mayor
Couch was received yesterday.
Cleveland, Ohio, August 2S. 1899
Dear Sir:-In reply to your inquiry
as to the possibilities of our building
an electric road between 0berlin and
Wellington, would say that we have
been considering this matter carefully,
and it is our judgement that such a
road would b close proposition, and
il we should take up the matter, the
franchise in Wellington village must
be liberal, and with no burdensome
conditions. We also insist upon pri-
vate right Of way between Oberlin and
Wellington being secured for us with
out cost. If such Il franchise and pri-
vate right Of way can be secured, and
secured without delay, we are prepar-
ed to build the rond.
If your people are anxions for the
road, what is done ought to be done
without delay, as you are no doubt
aware that railway material is in great
demand, and it is impossible to secure
certain lines of material for some
months to come, and if we are to take
up this proposition the sooner we know
it the better, so we can place our Or
ders for the material.
Very truly yours,
F. T. Pomeroy, General Manager.

FLOWERS SPOILED A DINNER.

The master of the house, haunted by the
