An Enlargement of the Organl xafton Effected. Tli :a pleasant annual event occurred th j ear at the residence of Dr. J. W. Hoiii hton. Tin re were present from Oberlin, George Houghton, Seth Houghton and wife and Cyrus Houghton ; from Pen del I, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Norton and (laughter Ella; from Columbus, Maj. C. Houghton with his son Charles and daughter Grace; from Boston, Mass., Mrs. Buell; from Fremont, Prof. W. W. Ross and wife ; Mrs. Ly- dia Hawes from Blissfleld, Mich., and Mrs. Ella Purdy from New London. Fro n Wellington there were Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Houghton, Mr. and Mrs. L. Clifford, Paul Clifford, wife and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. A. E. Pratl, and Mrs. Elinor Houghton. From Huntington, Mn, Alta Pratt, Mrs. VY. Dirlam and family, and Mrs. J. B. Pratt and sons. At noon the company moved in ir regular groups to the American House where they were granted the exclusive use of the dining room. The hum of voices during the hour passed there ndicated that a "feast of reason" was being enjoyed with the excellent din ner served. The after dinner exer cises which had been planned for the occasion were introduced by the sing ing of the hymn "Blest be the Tie thai Binds," and this was sung with such fervor as to give evidence of a fellow- hip and clanship that exists in this family to an unusual degree. Maj. A. C. Houghton presided In such a manner as to remove the chilli ness and formality which a program usually possesses. In a few witty re marks he expressed regret that the one whose name appeared first should have been called away on business. and implied that since he was one ol the grafted members, modesty forbade his speaking on the subject assigned him, "The Courage and Good Taste ol the Annexed Huuglitons." Prof. W. W. Ross gave a graphic de scription of school life in spencer more than a quarter century ago, He spoke impressively of the charmof a certain maiden who gave him an invi tation to a spelling school, and whose beauty so attracted him that a purpose of annexation took possession of him Mr. George Norton expressed his ap preciation of the conquering power of the Houghtons and acknowledged the ilory of his own conquest. Mr. E. W. Houghton took the floor declaring the impossibility of a speech from him. He gracefully paid an ad ditional tribute to the grafted mem tiers, with congratulatory remarks up on the Houghton shrewdness in their selection of companions. He then nave a brief account of the burdens borne in the days of pioneer life, elos ing his remarks with an earnest exhor mtion to the younger members to live eunsistent christian lives. Major Houghton said that he could tint endorse his father's statement that lie could not make a speech, as the most impressive speeches to which lie ' i ad ever liftened had been spoken by us father, and that the gestures hich occasionally accompanied them .ere particularly effective. Mrs. Ross recited a poem expressing genial comradeship for the brother ii need. Those who know her can .adily understand why the poem so ;ipealed to her. Dr. Houghton in his introduction emed gratified that on this occasion lie Houghtons need not blow theii tn trumpets, as the brothers-in-law id conscientiously attended to that .ity. After a few remarks upon fam y characteristics gave an exhaustive ud Interesting history of the English i loughtons and their dependents. His losing sentences gave evidence thnt Tie spirit of reform which inspired hit ncestors did not die with them. The chairman proposed that sonn effort be made to enlarge the fumilj reunion until it shall embrace repre sentatives from every branch in thl- country. The place suggested for sue! a meeting was Chautaqua. These propositions were adopted by motion as was also the committe select to bring to pass such a meeting. Tlie following are the nanvs of those ap pointed : Maj. A. C. Houghton, Colum bus, 0.;R. C. Houghton, Fort Scott Kitn. ; Charles Houghton, Worcester Mass. ; Prof. W. W. Ross, Fremont, 0 J. B.

Depends Upon Free Right-of-way. Clt- liens Want the Line Built. It is now only a question of getting right-of-way, when we can have an electrio railroad between here and Oberlin. If the right of way is secur ed in the next three months the road will be in operation by July 1st 1900. Every citizen and property owner be tween Wellington and Oberlin ought to Interest themselves in this enter prise, and give such assistance as they can. Mayor Couch and Judge -teelei of Oberlin are authorized to speak for the company, who will build the road in case the proper fanchiBes and right- of-way can be secured. There are some who say that if some company want to build a road from here to Oberlin let them come and buy their right-of-way, etc. Such is not this case, there is no company that is anxious to build this section of road, they have not asked for the right-of-way, etc, but on the contrary have iieen asked to build it, by citizens) ol iotli Oberlin and Wellington and Pitts lield, and now they agree to on the conditions named. If the road is not built now we fear that it will be another Ave years be fore another attempt will be made as t is nearly that time since the last. Tnx custom! receipts at Manila dur ing tne nrst nve month! of this year have been $248,000 more than during the corresponding months of 1897. Munlcale by Ml.t May Hankell. A very pleasing entertainment was iven 'ast Friday evening at the M. E. hurch by Miss May Clark Haskell as sisted by Mr. Franz Skoeland. and Miss Burr, of Oberlin. (treat credit is i ne Miss Haskell in selecting so com plete a program. Wellington should he proud of her musi, ians, io longer eed she seek foreign aid in this line. it would be difllcult indeed to select any one number on the program as the best, as each selection was rendered in sympathy with the author. All we can in y for these young people is, that a very successful and prosperous future is before them. I'ROURAM. Alia Zlngarcica Agnes TwhetAChulln Mr. Skoglulid. Muuuot Scharwenka MlHri llHhk.'ll.

Some of the county papers are malt ing fools of themselves by publishing sensational articles in regard to the arrest of the street fakers at the time of the Wellington Fair. They purpose ly and maliciously continue to misre present and magnify the whole affair, and seek to drag the fuir association into the matter well knowing that it was in no way responsible for any part of it. They claim that the mayor gave them license to gam ble on the streets, which if they had horse sense they would know better. They say that the mayor refused to give the oflleer a warrant and that the cases were tried before Justice Bowen, in all of which there is not a work of truth. Mayor Couch sat up until two o clock in the morning n.aking out pa pers and issued the warrants upon hich they were held and tried. The cases were heard before Mayor Couch mid with one exception each was fin ed $10 and costs amounting in each case to (19.75. We would suggest that those sainted editors take up the sub ject of their officials allowing the sell ing of pools at the late Elyria races where the association received (tiOO for allowing the worst form of gambling and against which there was no kick made. Deputy Sheriff Salisbury was not sent for, or sent here on any such business, and no citizen made com plaint. He happened here on other imsiness and undoubtedly thought it was a good way to make a little ex pense money. While we do not espec i illy blame Charlie we think it would have been much better to have left such matters to the village authorities, ,ir at least waited until some injured p irty made com plaint.
