The principal object of inter- M
' a i.l._ TT? (*j
est in town now is uie jhhici-iprise
Co's plant, which is now!,,
running day and night. It is t<
visited by many almost every
day and on Sunday afternotms
callers go in crowds. The unknown
is always attractive and
the manner in which this mill
reduces wood into the products
turned out is quite a mystery to
the uninitiated.

Messrs Stuckey & Flowers b
have purchased from Mr David j c
Coker the lot on Dansing street j 7
next to the Carter House and s
will remove their stables to this j e
lot. The work will begin right |
away?within a week or so. j t<
This lot, which is about a half
acre, will give them plenty of
room for their large and growing
business.
On the lot now occupied by
Messrs Stuckey & Flowers sta- j,
bles, the Smith-Williams Com- r
pany will erect quarters for .
theirjbusiness. The building, r
which will be of brick, wiU bej r
fifty feet wide and about one r
hundred ajid fifty feet long, j c
Ground will be broken within {
about thirty days and it is expec- j ^
ted to be completed about the j c
first of February or March. In: g
the meantime the company, j t
irrliii-li tttiII Korrin hucinpcc thf> l
first of January, will use the, ]
Kelley building on Main street f
which has been secured for the! }
purpose.
The town council has some *
street lamps which are being .
tested with the object of securing
the most useful and practi- 1
cal for general street purposes, j c
Where a lamp is found that
comes up to the requirements, it 4
will be selected for all the
treets. All the lamps unctef
est are the gasoline kind ailcf
hey require careful, intelligent
ttention to give satisfactory
esults. The subject of electric
i.i.. 1 ; A _
ignis is oeing seriously agita'
ed. One company is now prewiring
a proposition for lighting J
he town with these lights,
phich will be submitted soon.
?his sounds more like business,
ilectricity is the thing. Kersene
and gasoline may do for
mall, unambitious hamlets, but
or those towns that have a fuure
and are reaching out for
hat future, enterprises should
ake the course of solidity,
>rogreas and expansion. Elecric
lights are the real lights;
he lights of the twentieth cenury,
and we can have them and
ught to have them. Properly j
lanned and properly managed
hey are not costly luxuries, but
seful and economical necessies
of progressive communities.
Mr A 8 Johnson and Mrs Ve
i Mckenzie nave purchased a
tump puller which seems to be
success. It was worked in Mr
ohnson's field last week and
:s possibilities were seen by
lany. After being- put in poition
it raised stumps clear of
fie ground?tap root and all?
t the rhte of one to two hunred
a day. Rear Admiral Joe
foods says that it will pull
nything or even crooks out of
tie road, if a good anchorage
an be secured. Joking aside
he stump puller really pulls
tumps and does the work with
apidity. W. L. B.
