sad sight was the funeral of Mrs. Kelle

FRIDAY.-A fierce storm of wind and
rain to-day. ....... The electric light fix
lures are still being put up rapidly in
business houses. Our people must not
expect too much of these small inside
lights. That they will be great conven-
fence and perfectly safe, is undoubted.
But therein will lie their chief advantage |
They will give a beautiful light, but the |
power of the small lights will of course
u.
course prefer them to other modes of |
lighting because of convenience. They |
will be used generally throughout the |
town. 1t is claimed that the Jackson |
nail mill will make sixteen hundred kegs |
OF nails per day. ...... Jack Williams is |

of q WpIlS+an man uhoY, vuo m of to-dou
A few nights ago this gentleman and his
wife were going along the street when
they discovered small spark where the
electric lamp should be, and knew some
thing was wrong. Beside the glimmer-
ing spark was a bright blaze, evidently
from a lantern. Next day the gentleman
asked young man if it was him work
ing at the wire, and what he needed with
4 lantern. why" said he, 81 couldn't
ind the electric light without taking the
lantern alongp But we will not joke
W ellston until we see whether Jackson
ioes any better. Lowenstein has
traded for property at Diamond, and
among other changes will place his
slaughter above high water mark. $50.

Mine. The town is growing westward

building is being put up rapidly, and it
will not be long now until the blaze will
De turned on. The Centennial Com {
mission is busy at work, and Jackson {
County will doubtless have a creditable
showing at the Centennial. -. "A gentle I
nan with smooth-shayen face came in i

He was a stranger! Upon ask
ng his name we discovered that it was
William Marsh, whom we had known

niged him. Mr.. Marsh will hereafter 7
make his home at Efforts, instead of Oak
Hill. ss
