Anderson must have an electric light
plant. It is proposed to light the new
hotel with the electric light. The city
authorities might combine with theHotel
Company, and with little additional
cost plant large enough to light the
whole city could be secured. We hope
our city fathers will inquire into the mat
ter, and see II we can't have our city
lighted by the electric light. i

An exchange says new game, called
"Editor's Delight" Ia played in this wise:
stake sheet of ordinary writing paper
and fold it up carefully, inclosing bank
note sufficient to pay all arrears and a
year in advance. What adds immensely
to the pleasure of the game is to send
along the name Of new subscriber or
two accompanied by cash. Keep your
eye on the editor, and if smile adorns
his face the trick works like charm.
Just try it."

Next Monday night, in the Court
House. Rev. J. W. Wolling will deliver
lecture on Brazil for the benefit Of his
mission there, and we hope our people
will bear it in mind and go out to hear
him. A small admission fee of 25 cents
will be charged, and we venture the asser-
tion that every one who attends will get
the worth of his money. Mr.. Wolling
has resided In Brazil two years, and it
will be interesting to hear him tell OF the
customs and habits of the people Of that
country. Tickets may be purchased at
Hill Bros.' drug store and from several
young Ladies'.
