CONTRACT CLOSED
FOR ELECTRIC LIGHTS IN MA.
RIETTA.

Turn on the electricity
Marietta has taken an important step in
her history, and prefers light to darkness.
She will relegate kerosene lamps to the
rear.
After visiting numerous places where
electricity is being used in lighting towns,
Mayor Glover and Aldermen Dobbs and
Austin, gave it as their judgment, that
electric lights would be the thing for
Marietta. Numerous gas companies have
sought to contract with our city, but gas
has taken second place, and is considered
good for manufacturing, heating and cook
ing purposes, but not the thing to light up
city with, consequently Marietta takes
the best thing that this progressive and
inventive age can give-electricity.
The city has contracted with the Thomp.
son-Houston electric company for twenty
three arc lights at $500 pc ryear. The citi-
zens have organized stock company ard
contracted with the above firm for COM
plete electric plant, furnishing both the
arc and incandescent lights.
At meeting of the stockholders last
Friday night the following directors were
elected; George F. Gober, T. W. Glover,
+. +. Dobbs, B. r Legg and D. w. Blair,
OF Marietta; H. E. W. Palmer and w. A.
Robinson, of Atlanta. These gentlemen
were authorized to prepare bylaws and
secure charter for "The Marietta Electric
Light Company" After the adjournment
of the stockholders the directors met and
elected the following officers President,
I. W. Glover; vice-Presideht, B. R. Legg,
secretary and treasurer, A. NJ. Dobbs.
The contract with Mr.. W. A. Robinson,
OF the Thompson-Houston company calls
for the erection of the plant on the grounds
and in the building of the Marietta Elec-
trio Light Company within three months.
The Thompson-Houston Company to run
the plant thirty days after completion and
then if it is satisfactory, the Marietta
stockholders accept the plant, but if not
they reject it.
The plant is to be first class and com.
plete in all its parts, an 80 or 80 horse
power boiler, 81 arc lights and Al thirty
two candle power incandescent lights. The
plant will cost about $l2 800 land will fur
nish Marietta all the necessary lights for
the streets, stores and business buildings
Hurrah for our progressive, thrifty and
plucky town. She takes no step back
ward but keeps moving Harvard at graf
flying pace.

HER NEIGHBORS,

The moon was shining bright,
And to the maiden 0 er and Ser
The youth had said Good night"
BIZ still, reluctant to depart,
Her tiny hand he pressed,
While all the love that filled his heart

He smiled, and as a manly arm
Around her waist he threw,

GOLD IN GEORGIA.

Since the recent discovery of
gold in Southern California, Geor-
gians have been reminded that there
are gold mines in their own state.
Gold has been found in Rabun,
Lumpkin, Barlow, Dawson, White,
Hall, Union, McDufie, Lincoln and
Wilkes counties. The mines were
worked for number of years, and
some of them are still worked. The
chief mining center is at Dahlone-
ga, in Lumpkin county. The mines
around Dahlonega have yielded
large quantities Of gold. An old
prospector, in speaking OF them the
other day, said that gold to the val
ne of 100000 was taken out of
the Findlay mine, which was work
ed before and after the war, and
that work had to be stopped
befoye the mine was exhausted, be-
cause the water came in so freely.
Another yielded nearly 100000.
The largest nugget that he remem-
bered to have been found in that
vicinity weighed seventy-two pen
nyweights, and was valued at $40.
Last summer, he said, two prospec-
tors went to an old mine, and pick
ing out the rich looking rocks,
pounded out of them in day $24O
worth of gold.
A United States branch mint was
established in Dahlonega in 1888,
and was kept in operation until
1861. Some years ago it was donat-
ed by congress to the trustees of the
Dahlonega college, but it was de-
stroyed by fire in 1863. Since then,
however, a handsome college has
been erected on the site. The SIS
gold pieces made in Georgia are
frequently found in circulation.
They have dull, yellow appearance,
and on one side, under the eagle,
is the letter 3D." The California
gold pieces have reddish tint.
In 1881, the production of gold in
Georgia was s125,OOO; in 1882, it
was s250,000 in 1888, $4,000; in
1884, 1000; in 1885, 10000; in
1886, 152,50O, and in 1887, $780,
900. Georgia ranks fourteen as a
gold-producing state.

EGGS FOR LENT,

For creamy omelet use two eggs and
four teaspoonfuls of milk beaten together
but not too light Then put into a hot
pan and throw it up towards the center
with fork until it sets. Add salt and
pepper and then told
A delicious dish is made by filling the
egg dish by the whites beaten; make
hollow in the center and put in the un-
beaten yolk scatter over the top a little
salt and pepper and lay small piece of
butter near the yolk. Bake about two
minutes.
For stuffed eggs cut six hard boiled eggs
in two Take out the yolks and mash
them fine. Add two teaspoonfuls of but
ter, one of cream two or three drops of
onion juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
Mix all thoroughly, fill the eggs from the
mixture and put them together. There
will be little of the filling left, to which
add we'll beaten egg. Cover the other
eggs with this, and roll in crumbs. Fry in
boiling lard till a light brown.
A plain omelet is one of the best WAYS
in which eggs can be served Two things
to be observed in the successful making of
an omelet are to be sure the pan in which
it is to be cooked is hot and not put too
much egg in at once. Beat four eggs and
add one teaspoonful of salt and two table
spoonfuls of milk. Have the pan very
hot and put in one tablespoonful of butter
and then pour in the beaten egg. Shake
vigorously on the hottest part of the stove
until the eggs begin to thicken, then let
stand a few seconds to brown. Run a
knife between the sides OF the omelet and
the pan, fold and turn on a hot dish. Serve
at once.
Spanish eggs are much liked by some.

two quarts of boiling water to which has
been added one tablespoonful of salt.
