Prompt Action Neeeaaarv, The building of an electric railroad from Oberlin to Wellington has been the subject of several newspaper art icle! of late, all of which have been misleading and contain little truth as regards the real situation. The facts are that capitalists who furnish the means for the building of electric roads seek to place their money only in paying investments, and after look ing the line over from Oberlin to Well ington consider it a doubtful proposi tion, so much so that the only ground upon which ther will consider it, would be the donation of a private right-of- way, and a liberal franchise from the villages of both Oberlin and Welling ton. Enough is already known to war rant the statement that satisfactory franchises can be secured in both vil lages. Now the question is, what will the property owners along the route between the corporation lines be will ing to do, as they are the ones that will receive the greatest benefits. There ought not to be the least opposi tion. It is a well established fact those who own property along the line of an electrio railroad have been great ly benefitted in many ways, and would not have it taken from them for many times their donation. We believe that prompt action at this time will secure the building of this road at an early date. DR. IIUGGIN'S HEADACHE AND NEURALGIA TABLETS.

FIFTIETH ANNUAL SESSION Of the Lorain Count Baptiat Sunday- School Convention Held at French Creek, Tueeday. Yesterday proved an Ideal convention day and enthusiastic delegations of Bap tlst people gathered from different parts of the county at French Creek, where one of their most helpful and wide awake county Sunday-school meetings was held. Excepting the absence of one speaker, the program was carried out In full. Some imperative needs were consid ered under three heads: "More Work ere," "More Scholars" and "More Holy Ghost Power." Among other topics presented were, The Bible as a Light to Commentaries, Corkscrew Methods; Their Uses and Abuses," "Superintendent or Boss, Which?" "Sunday-school Pokers and Croakers," "The Giants and the Fruits. The question box was largely patron- Izedand was conducted by Rev. I. E. Bill, of Oberlin, who showed tact, quick wit and consecration. The evening session, as usual, was given to the B. Y. P. U.'s, Rev. E. O. Smith, of the Superior street Bap tist Church, Cleveland, giving the prin cipal address. The Farm Journal is 22 years old, prints 40 tons of paper a month, and is out of debt; it is cut to fit every pro gressive farmer and villager. Don t you want this fine little paper?

The Attnlace at the llanqunt I.ut Kri. day Night was the Largmt That It lae been for Several Year.. ToaatmaaUr Vlacher a Sucoeaa. Officer Elected. The first quarter century of the W. H. S. Alumni is history since Friday evening, June 23. Despite the firm determination of the president to call the meeting to order at 8 o'clock, sharp, it was near ly 9 when Dr. Carl R ast stamped his manly foot for order, and there was order. The new and old members were warmly welcomed among the mmortals, and admonished always to be present at these yearly gatherings. After the reading of the secretary's report by Miss Herrick and its approv al, the program of the evening began with an excellent violin solo by Franz jkogland. Arthur Sprague, the orator of the evening elicited most hearty applause as he finished his exercise. Mr. Sprague's subject "An Anglo-Saxon Alliance" was very ably handled. The poet's chair among the immort al, will never be vacant so long as we can count Alfred Horr among us. Whether his table be round or square he writes upon it rare verse and de lightful romances. The trials and dissappointments of love, more or less true, were most pathetically told in 'The Surgeon's Plastic Knife." None of the meaning was lost but rather the beauty enhanced by Miss Horr's ex cellent reading of this touching tale. Miss Naylor recited "A Sister's Scheme" with her own charming grace and brought such hearty appreciation forth from her audience that she must needs recite again. "Mr. Travis First Hunt" was her second subject which met with equal success. We are in deed fortunate to posses such varied and exceptional talent in the associa tion. Even a third time was Miss Nay lor called to delight her audience, with "Fishers of Men." Miss Mabel Benedict sang only once, all were sorry to find, but her music as always went to the hearts of her countrymen. President Rust announced this the close of the program and appointed the nominating committee 'of three, Miss Laundon, Miss Brink and W. Bently Vischer, who should report later. The large company of just 140 filed down stairs to the double feast of good things for palate and mind yet in store. The class of 1900 had made the tables attractive with flowers and their ready service. The "toasts" or after dinner speeches are generally looked forward to with great pleasure for much of wit and wisdom is expect ed. Toastmaster Bently Vischer call ed attention to the fact that this would be the last meeting in this century ; the century of the greatest and grand est achievements of time. Among our members were to be found those fol lowing vocations of every class and description and tonight we welcome through Mr. E. A. VanCleef, 23 more to our ranks. "Welcome to the Class of '99," E. A. Vancleef. "Youth with swift feet walks onward In the way; The land of Joy lies all before hlseyes. Age, stumbling, lingers slower day by day, Still looking back, for It behind him lies." Mr. VanCleef spoke as from his heart the welcome to this class and especially did it give him joy as he welcomed his own son. Another mem ber of his class, of '75, Mrs. Haskins, offered her daughter as a member of our association. Mr. VanCleef recall ed his own graduation in the old white church, what a great day it had been and how proudly he had reached it In conclusion he admonished the class of '99 never to do anything to forfeit the support of their first alma mater. Be ambitious, loyal, honest and above all, 'to thine own self be true.' " Response, Frank VanCleef, in a few well coosen and dignified sentences, he pledged the support and faithfulness of '99. The absent members and those who had gone forever from us were remembered in a silent toast. The Bachelor Brothers. "Never wedding, ever wooing, Still a love lorn heart pursulig. Read you not the wrong you're doing Iu my cheeks pale hue? All my life with sorrow strewing, Wed or cease to woo." Miss Mae Clark said in part that women were interested in mankind, in expansion and all questions as relat ing to the disposition of our bachelor brothers. Wars and climate had tak en many, but more remained and the time for action was now at hand, a time to take up the responsibilities and opportunities that the Klondyke and other countries offer. Miss Clark was eloquent and touching in her appeal. Mr. ToaBtmaster introduced next, one whom he said was the wont of of fenders among those bachelor brothers, Harley Horr, who spoke for "Our Spinster Sisters. "Why, whilst we struggle In this vale beneath With want and sorrow, with disease and duath, Do they more blessed perpetual life employ In songs of pleasure and lu scenes of Joy?" In out- Alumni Association there are 81 sensible, self reliant young women who are a credit to this distinguished body. Husbands after all were apt io be the blank lottery tickets one draws in life. Harley knew his subject il ever man did and with deep emotion concluded with the remark that he was "acquainted with every feeling, me despair" Greater America. ' "One world sufficed uot Alexander's mind, Cooped up, he seemed In harth and Seas con fined." ' Was most deftly handled in Mr. R, L. Walden's response. The map of the world had been changed within one short year, and promised as much in the next If the great eastern question was not settled soon. A comparison of the United States and Spanish pos sessions of years gone and today, where Spain held sway, now the stars and strips floated, the sun never set ting upon Uncle Sam's dominion. Memories. "How dear to my heart are the scenes of my childhood. As fund recollection presents them to view. The orchard, the meadow, the deep tangled wildwood -And every loved spot which my Infancy knew." Not only of Miss Bennett, but of many of present and absent, told as tin narrator knows so well how to tell such stories, brought repeated ap plause. Miss Bennett said she would claim the privilege of the aged to be tiresome and wandering, but her recol lections from the time she went to the old South school and was welcomed by a sweet faced woman, whom she knew as Mary Laundon, until she passed through the grades to graduate with the kindly wishes of teachers and later to teach in these schools. All were followed with interest. Uncle Sam's Postmistress. So unaffected, so composed a mind, So firm, so soft, so strong, yet so refined, She swings the mail with ever steady nerve, Hur country and her Uncle Sam to serve." Miss Herrick said she knew only one other distinguished woman who had held that position , Benjamin Franklin's sister-in-law and owing to obvious reasons could not speak for her so must talk about herself, which she proceeded to do, denying that "com posed mind, so firm" be frequently in presence of the lord of creation "man" Miss Herrick said she could not tell the secrets of her business, for the being a woman resembled, as some one had said the deity, in that her 'ways were past finding out," but in the poetic phrase of a man gave some post office pointers. She concluded by say ing she would rather work for Uncle Sam than any other man on the foot stool. Mr. Toastmaster, rising, said he hoped she would soon find a male not tied up in a bag. Applause. Bessie Hall in response to "The School Teacher" "Ob, ye who teach the Ingenious youth of nations Holland, France, England, Germany or Spain I pray thee flog them upon all occasions; It mends their morals, never mind the pain." Gave some very interesting exper iences. The days when "licking and laming" went hand in hand was past. She gave some good thoughts upon teaching generally. "Alma Mater" The stars shall fade away. But thou shalt flourish In Immortal youth." In the hands of Hattie Mason met artistic treatment. It is not the ex tremes of men that tell for a people, but the dead levels In common folk that goes for the best that in them lies. Dare to dream and dare to do. The company now returned for a social meeting to the upper hall. The following officers and program for next year was announced by the nom inating committee:. President, Alden R. Palmer ; vice president, Mrs. S. K. Warner; secretary, Katherine Gott; toastmaster, E. F. Webster, Jr. ; treas urer, E. C. Cushion j.poet, R. L. Wal- den ; historian, Ethel Herrick ; reciter, Nell Horr j orator, Frank VanCleef; music committee, George Rust. All declared this to have been a great success as a reunion, no small amount of the pleasure being attribut ed to our ideal toastmaster, who seem ed bubbling over with wit and wiBdom too.
