amusing and well rendered.
In the song, "Three Maids of Lee"
Mrs. 8. j. Post fully sustained her en-.
viable reputation as an accomplished

The Flag Drill was performed by
twenty-four young ladies. in costumes
of red, white and blue, with an accura
cy and precision that would have done
credit to a company of veterans. This

In several of the cities the minimum is
the same as ours; but we are the lowest to
the general public, giving all the benefit of
the low price. Should our consumption
increase. shall keep apace with the times

In regard to the electric light, will say
we have placed in the hands af the lighting
committee a schedule of prices at which
they can light the streets for the next five
years at an average of $71 per year per
lamp. on an all night (10-hour) moon
schedule, and no extra charge or comper-
saton for lights on cloudy nights; or we
will furnish lights at 500 per year on same
schedule, and 3 cents per hour per lamp for
cloudy nights, the present price being S72
per year per lamp. \ comparison of these
prices with those paid at Akron, Youngs-
town, Alliance, Mansfield, East Liverpool,
Massillon, Fremont, FoStoria, and Marion,
will show that Ravenna will be lighted for
less money than is paid i'll any of these cit
