B The Town Council last htgranted
the privilege to the City Electric
Light Company to erect poles, string

brought up, and referred to the Mar

and report upon.
We return thanks to our genial and
enterprising friend ex-mayor Bloom,
of Hagerstown, for an invitation to
uOIShH " Oah4uCG given. ny hlhi AR0O
Thursday evening, at his elegant res
idence, to the members of the various
county advisory boards connected
with the Hagerstown Fair. We were
unable to be present, but feel sure
it was very enjoyable affair.
The Electric Light plant is nearly
an assured fact, and we are glad to
note that the town will very probably
in the next two months have all the
benefits of the advantages afforded
by this modern system of lighting.
The Company will close the bids to-
day (TuesdaY), and if the party Of
fering the most satisfactory bid can
give proper guarantee and proof, the
contract will at once be signed and
work begin in setting poles and other
wise preparing for the plant and ne
cessary fixtures for operating the
same. Charles-Town can't afford to
kbe backward in any progressive spirit
of the age, and she is going to keep
right along TO the 'front.'
