alton Last Evening.

by the city were in operation for the first
time last evening. The contract begins
the first Of next year, but the Whining
ton City Electric Company will furnish
light to that time gratis. Twenty one
lamps, all those south Of Tenth street,
were in operation. The lamps, one Of
each being at each corner, kept up a
steady brilliancy making dark shadows
darker and bright spots brighter. A
number of persons, speaking of the
lights. said that they thought there
should be two lights to each square, as
the lights on the corner leave the middle
stores in comparative darkness. The
lamps from Tenth to Eighteenth. streets
will probably be connected to-day.

with their presence. This, think,
is the sum total ofthe active inter-

to such an extent that in your issue

EDITOR Bro SANDY NEws:--
l see no reason why our thriving
little villa" should not be repre-
senied in the columns of your very
Interestingly journal. Simply because
we are a quiet, inoffensive people,
who believe in attending strictly to
our own business, is certainly not
sufficient reason. Therefore, with
your permission, l will try to pave
the way to complete exhibition of
our superior natural resources.
That we have a favorable locality
for transportation facilities, cannot
be successfully contradicted; as we
are about midway between the Le-
visa and Tug forks Of the Big Sandy
River; and TO augment these great
natural facilities, we have the only
Railroad in North Eastern Ken
lucky, running square through the
heart of ouribusy little village.
We can boast of minerals in end
less varieties, from common land
stone to the most valuable found in
Eastern Kentucky.
Among the most valuable is found
the famous b,ackband, and it is sup
posed by the most skil.ful geolo-
gists that great reservoirs of peho-
leum and natcral gas lie hidden in
the great suhterraneous caverns
over which our little village is stu.
ated.
Those who are looking about for
a favorable locality for boring for
the hidden treasure can not do bet.
ter than to invest in this vicinity
We sincerely hope the day is not fal
distant when capitalists shall learn
of these great resources, and come
and give them q thorough test
Our latch strings are hung out t.
any who may come into our neigh
borhood for this purpose, and prov,
to the good citizens that they NEAR
business.
Now is the time to strike, as tn,
iron is hot and very hot. r. b.
