That picturesque tatterdemalion known at this end of hia route an the Oberlin mail carrier surprised him elf last week, and a good many oilier people as well, by "totin" Uncle Sum's mail pouch back to his home town in a semi-presentable buggy. Now, if some one would give him a "new" horse ; but that's another story. A week ago last Thursday Ashland celebrated the completion of the Wooster-Ashland electric line. Its a little too early for fireworks Just yet, but if anyone is looking ahead for an opportunity to let off pent up enthus iasm, the suggestion may not be out of place that the completion of the Well ington Oberlin electric line, providing such a happy consummation is ever brought about, will furnish the occasion and ample justification for all the oratory and fireworks that this town is able to get together. When Col. Wilder 8. Metcalf re turns to Wellington, as he will about the middle of next month, he should receive a welcome that would be one of the pleasanteit recollections of his life. The people of Kansas are proud of him. for next to General Fred Fun ston, he is the most destinguished citizen soldier that the grasshopper state has sent to the Philippines. Wellington should be prouder of him for this was his home long before he went to Kansas. Here it was that he received hil first commission and early training as a military man. As targeant, and later as lieutenant, of the old Wellington militia (long since defunct) he began to develop those traits of discipline and leadership that have served him so well in his Philip pine experiences. It was here, too, that he found his wife and spent the first years of married life. No town has stronger claim to him, unless it be the town of his birth, than Welling ton. What could be more appropri ate then, than that his home-coming should be made the occasion for a pub lic reception and banquet, in his hon or? His old comrades of Co. Q, of whom fifteen or sixteen still remain in Wellington, doubtless would be on ly too glad to join in welcoming him, and the people of Wellington will be equally as pleased to confer an honor so well earned and richly deserved. A Big Demand. The Elyria Business College is re ceiving more calls thnn they can fill. Drring September they had twelve ca!:s. Since Oct. 1, they have eiht calls. This demand is the best evidence of the work they are doing. Nineteen new students entered this month. New Shorthand division Nov. at. it REPUBLICAN RALLIES.

What is the matter with the Williams full cream factory over in Camden, with only 77 cents for an August divi dend? "Skipper hill" factory's divi dend is 82 cents. Will the Camden correspondant of The Enterprise please explain, so asks a subscriber to this paper. The Wellington Poultry club, which was organized lust winter, will hold a poultry exhibit in the Town hall here Dec. 8 and 9. It is expected that 1000 fowls, pigeons, cats, dogs, etc., will be exhibited. Chas. McClave of New London, who is an eminent authority on poultry, will act as judge. Postmaster-General Smith has noti fied the Wellington office that a large number of letters addressed to soldiers and sailors at Manila are undelivered through the failure of the sender to place on the envelope the name of the company or regiment, or other organ ization to which the addressee belongs. The second of the series of club dances will occur in the Town hall, Halloween night, October 31. It will be given as a ghost dance en costume. Probably the simplest and most popu lar form of attire will be made from pillow cases and sheets. The hall will be lighted with jack-lanterns. The ghosts will walk at 8:30; unmasking at 9:30. New Class in the Oberlin Uuelneee CnDf-fa. The Electric line now carries 19 pas sengers from Elyria to the Oberlin Business College each morning. Misses Minnie Zuver and Effie Hanes completed their course last week and have secured excellent permanent positions in Cleveland. A. R. Webber will deliver a lecture to the students in the near future. Another assistant teacher has been secured for the Shorthand Department, to begin work November 1st. The total enrollment to date is 121, nearly all being full course day stu dents. This college now is among the leaders in business education judged by equipment, thoroughness of courses, success of graduates, or any other criterion. The people of this county have in 0. B. C. an opportunity to se cure at home as good as there is in the country in the line of business educat ion. No wonder so many are going to Oberlin. The new class in shorthand to be formed November 1st bids fair to be large and enthusiastic. This short hand school is becoming mom jio.iulnr every day with the best clan of stu dents, and the success of its graduates even mure pronounced. Any student who enters this new class will have an exceptional opportunity, REPUBLICAN RALLY. Big Attractions Billed tot Wellington Next Wednesday Night. The most important Republican rally of this fall's campaign in southern Lorain county will be held at Welling ton, Wednesday evening, Nov. 1, when Hon. Harry M. Daugherty and Judge John M. Sheets will address the people of this city and vicinity. The meeting will be held in the Opera house, and, weather permitting, it promises to be the largest political gathering since the memorable campaign of 1896. Indeed, the rally next Wednesday night will not be unlike the campaign meetings of '96. The speeches will be preceded by a torch-light procession, bands and marching delegations from neighboring towns will be here, and it is expected that the evening will be further enlivened by a liberal display of fireworks. It is said that Penfield, Huntington, Brighton, PittBfield, and possibly La Grange, Oberlin, Rochester and other near-by towns will send delegations. Among the bands ex pected, besides the Wellington band, are the Brighton Marshall band, the Huntington Cornet band, one of the Oberlin bands and possibly ths La Uranue Uornet Dana. But the important part of the rally will be the speeches, however interest ing the preliminary demonstration may be. Ihe principal speaker, Hon H. M. Daugherty, is known as ono of the best cumnaiitn orators of the state, The other speaker, Judge Sheets, is candidate for attorney-general on the Republican ticket, and he is said to be very fluent and eloquent.
