RIVERSIDE, o.
The Council OF the incorporated viii
lage OF Riverside, at SPECIAL session
last night, resolved to light the village
the whole extent, from Sedamsville
to. Anderson's Ferry. This will
require forty lamps. Good, SUBJ
stantial, turned cedar posts have
already been obtained, and the lamp
will be city pattern with gasoline burner.
This Is an Improvement long desired
by the farmers OF Riverside and their
friends, especially as the necessary
funds are in the hands of the Treasurer
