There is a stocking factory in Elyria, recently started, with a capacity of 100 dozen a day. "Sherman's March to the Sea" was an interesting march, and Pepper can tell you all about it. S. P.

Mr. Lee Allis' residence on Maygar street is undergoing H transformation by the paint artist. Likewise the house of Mrs. Henry Chapman, on Elm street. Cleanliness is next to godliness.

We lrarn that E. G. Johnson has dip posed of his interest in the Elyria Re porter, and has retired from the editorship. A tombstone in a Texas cemetery bears this inscription: "He remained to the last a decided friend and sup porter of democratic principles and measures. Blessed pre the dead who die in the Lord." Our people (appreciate Wellington' made goods. The Wellington Milling Co. supply our local grocers with not less than 125 barrels of flour per month, while the farming community who trade here take more than 200 barrels per month. Mayor Reefy Is doing some spring "housecleaning" in ElyriU by putting tramps and beggars at work cleaning the paved streets. The health protect' ive associations ought to make a note of that, and urge the plan in other cities. The saloons also come in for tt share In this municipal reform, and cannot do business after 9:30 in the evening or Sundays In our capital city, Wellington hotels are trying to see which can give their guests the most for their money. We look forward to the day when even the poor editor can "take a meal out." The B. Y. P. TJ. social will be held at the home of Mrs. L. G. Smith, on Ptob pect street, instead of at the church as announced, on Friday evening of this week. An invitation is extended to all. One day last week fifteen farm wag ons from Pittsfield. loaded with 1898 wheat, stood around Shelly's Mill wait ing to unload. This was early in the day, and the weather was too cold to stand out land watch for more. There ought to be one or two extra policemen on duty on Saturdays irom the Taylor store around to the Good- tell corner, to keep people from being run over. This should apply to the sit uation until 9:00 p. m. each Saturday, as the crush from 7:00 to 9:00 p. m. is something tremendous. "Wellington (Bell(e)s," a new ide originating in the fertile brain of our friend, Lu Hopkins, is worth looking at in the show window of the Benedict hardware store. One thing we miss from the colleefion, however, and that is the homely old cow:bell we used to hear in our boyhood days. On Saturday last people drove into town for miles around. Pittsfield, La Grange, Penfleld, Litchfield, Spencer, Huntington, Sullivan, Rochester, Brighton, Cferksfield, New London and several other suburbs of Wellington were more or lees represented. Our merchants were busy and were obliged to draft considerable extra help. Among the recent indictments by the Lorain county grand jury were those of R. H. Baird and Von Bernlard for selling liquor to minors. Both these gentlemen appeared before Judge Nye last Thursday and entered a plea of "not guilty." All the criminal cases were set for June 1, except those who plead guilty, and they were sentenced on Monday. The suit of Mrs. Victoria Sheldon agninst li. n. vaaswonn, in wincu a safe was replevined by the plaintiff, was tried by a jury, before Justice Do land, on Friday and Saturday. The case went to the jury on Saturday, who returned ft verdict of disagree ment, the jury standing five to one in favor of plaintiff. A new trial of the cause is set for two weeks. Sunday dinners at the hotels in town are becoming popular, and are patron ized by many of the families of the town. A "square" mflal, of everything that heart can wish or stomach may crave, and that for a nominal price, affords the women an opportunity of which many are availing themselves, of mlaking Sunday practically a "day of rest." The Y. P. 8. C. E. of the Disciple church will give a sailor's social next Friday evening, May 20, at the home of Mrs. A. Spicer. The individual who tells the best sailor's yarn will be suit ably rewarded. Everyone is invited to come and enjoy the graphuphone which will assist in the entertainment of the evening. A man in Oakland, Me., has invented a tramp chair, the use and ifame of which has cleared that town entirely of the tramp nuisance. Two of these are now msed In Augusta, for while that city sheltered Und fed 275 tramps in January, '99, Oakland only had one, no tramp who had heard of the free rides in the tfsinpi chair of that town ever came that way aglain. In 1898 it cost the sixteen counties of Maine $64,5W for board oi tramps in jails, nearly one-third of all their county tax. The counties thai have no jails have no tramps. The tramp chlair is comfortable as long as one wishes not to change position. The door follows the lines of the chair, and is locked, and the Wandering Willie gets more rest than he wants after a couple of hours in it. " 0 m M WA 1 1 I MlJ I . "III .BRil.
