The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1899-1900, 1899-05-31


memorial day is fast becoming one Of
the fixtures OF our body polite. The
beautiful custom Of having all the peo-
pie of locality meet together on that
day in some church and listen to an
address by one Of the pastors in honor
of the G. A. R., both living and dead, /,
has now become general in this
country. The people Of Wellington al
ways live up to their privileges and
fulfil their full quota Of duty in this
respect.
Last Sunday was no exception to the
general rule. Hamlin Post had ac-
cepted an invitation to attend Il union
service at the Congregational church,
to be addressed by the pastor, Rev. H.
D. Sheldon. Promptly at the hour for
morning service the church was well
filled, seats being reserved for the
guests Of honor, the G. A. R. and the
W. R. G.
The interior of the church was neat
ly and suitably decorated with flowers,
flags and bunting. The pastors Of all
the churches were present except Mr..
Waggoner of the Methodist church,
who had been suddenly called to Pen
field to deliver the sermon at that
place.
Following was the program:
Doxology.
Invocation.
Anthem-"To Thee, o Country"
Responsive Reading No. 81.
Gloria.

Prayer Rev. A. g. Wall

Benediction.
Organ Postlude.
As to the accessory ceremonies we
have no word of criticism.
Concerning the address of the day,
we will say that it departed from the
usual order of such addresses in very
radical manner, which was singularly
refreshing. Instead Of being regular
sermon founded on a scripture text,
it was straight forward talk consist
ing of deductions from historical data
which were calculated to instruct and
at the same time, entertain. This
relieved the effort Of all the objection
able features incident to sermonizing,
ana -especfniiy the strain usualiy re-
quired to make a sermon and popu-
lar address both count for one thing.
1t shows, also, in hopeful way,
what may be done by young man Of
culture and education, when he cuts
himself aloof, for a time from his theo-
logical moorings and ventures out into
untried waters of modern history and
common sense. Now we do not mean
to insinuate that the &. A. r. do not
like sermons, or that they do not need
them as much as other of their fellows,
but we do mean to say that at least
once a year, they enjoy an address like
the one Of Sunday, without the theo-
logical adjuncts.
The masses care not fig for theo-
logy as such, but they do care for
something easy to comprehend and
practical in its tendencies and appli-
cation. The people are not to blame
for this either, and the long sandy
stretches of their life desert are well
and timely relieved by an occasional
oasis of pure practical freshness like
the spot upon which they rested and
slaked their thirst on Sunday.

by using the stroking movement. An
astringent wash made by beating up the
white of an egg in four ounces Of rose
water is also excellent.
It is really astonishing how much can
be done in the way of improving the
mouth by means of massage. The 1rst
finger remains stationary just under the
nOstrils, while the thumb and second nm
ger commence at either end Of the upper
lip, and move energetically and rapidly
up toward the first finger.
The beauty student who wishes to drape
her neck in little festOOns of fat should
combine the kneading movement and the
strOkiug motion. The curves and contour
of the neck can he entirely restored by
constant and careful massage. 1t is quite
impossible TO give the strOking movement
correctly ones self. so you will have to
get someone to help you out on this part
of the massage. The pinChing movement
together with the kneading and strOkng
will help the good work along
Any woman who carefully follows these
directions should be able to give herself
fairly satisfactory massage treatment.
Every day is not too often for this treat
ment- But. a thorough massage treat
ment consumes from three-quarteTs of an
hour to an hour when given by a skilled
masseuse, one is apt to find the self treat
ment extremely fauguing. So l would
suggest that you treat but one or perhaps
two features a a sitting.

At Monterey and SOnOma the na-
tional cOlOrs first fioated from a staff
which had previously borne aloft the
red and green banner of the Republic
of Mexico. The enduring old Flagstaff
at Smiths ranch was the first planted
to fly the victorious Stars and Stripes of
the Union in all tie Golden West.
For more than forty years after its
erection, the homestead staff stood idle
and neglected. while its history was not
thought Of in the rush and progress of
settlement which followed the discov-
cry Of CalifOrnia's resources.
But when Fern Grove ParlOr of Ma
tive Sons was instituted in Bodega.
about ten years ago, some Of the old
residents revived the history of the dis
tinguished old pole. As a result the
pole was dug up, trimmed at the ends,
fitted once more with halyards, also
with a cast iron bear and again planted
and braced.
On our national holidays tho flag once
more waved from this historic staff
But the observance Of this custom has
not been kept up since the lapsing of
Fern Grove PaTlOr several years ago,
and once again the time-hOnOred relic
stands neglected. dismantled of hal
yards, and growing cracked and messy.
BOdega is still a substantial little
place, with thirty ng dairies all round
it. The pOstOffiCe there still is called
as 1t has been for the past fifty years,
Smiths Ranch. And in the COmfOrta Bile
homes scattered ever the Bodega coun-
try there still lives a white haired old
man or womi who recalls the good
days agone when the family of the
homestead was the quality Of the coun-
try side and the aged old Flagstaff on
