The matter Of electric-lights was
talked at the last meeting of the Im,
! provement Association. The fact was
brought out that there is a possible
ty of the pulp mill plant being enlarg.
ed by the company now controlling,
and additional work done here to
employ.a much larger force of hands,
providing they may also furnish pow
er and outfit for notwithstanding here
1t should not be understood, that
anyone wishes to antagOnize Mr. Dow
In his effort, but if we are to have the
electrlc-lights, will 1T not be wise to
wait and see what additional enter
prise may come with them? A letter
received from the officers of the La
noble Manufacturing Co., states that
they are investigating the matter
and a committee from the company
will come here the middle of April.
The adjourned meeting of the Nor

reported fifty-four members at the
start; it should be understood that
a cordial invitation is extended to
all who would help in the good work
by joining the association. The pro.
posed house warming at the new
hotel was brought up, and owing to
the incomplete condition OF the house,
the bad walks ami roads to be imme-
diately with us, it was thought best
to defer it for short time, announce
ment to be made later. The associa-
ton which has thus come to a per-
maneGt organization and standing,
will hold regular meetings each month
and hopes are entertained that it
may be the means of accomplishing
much gOod-although much should
not be expected at the start

Luciers' Consolidated Minstrels do
not have one of the largest organiza-
tons on the road in point ofnumbers,
but this amounts to but little when
the amount and quality of talent |
which they possess is taken into con-
every performer being an
artist in the fullest sense of the word. |
The first part is new and novel and |
full of spicy and we'll chosen Jokes, |
witty sayings and popular songs,
and specialties that follow in part |
second are of themselves excellent,
and every feature of the program
from the opening chorus to the clos
ng act is refined and thoroughly en-
ioyabe. At Town Hall, Morrisville |
Monday. April 4th. The Free Press
says of the troupe:-
One of the largest audiences seen at the
opera house this season was the one attracted |
bv the performance of the Luciers' Minstrel |
Saturday evening. Some of the |
okes were not only laughable but possessed
the additional quality of being original. The
singing was good, the clog dancing excellent |
and the work of the contortionist, perhaps |
the best ever seen on the opera house stage.
