WE MUST HAVE LIGHT.

The question of lighting of our
streets with electricity is being dis.
cussed by many of our leading citizens
The very unsatisfactory manner in
which the village is now being lighted
causes our people to desire IL change.
The method of lighting the lamps il
such that it is necessary to commence
lighting at about o'clock in the after
noon in order to get the work COM
pleted by dark. This is not the faul,
of the man who docs the wo:l, it il
the fault of the system employed,
which is II poor one.
Many of these lamps fail to burn as
they shoulG, ard when the late train
arrives at night, or the night is dark
and stormy it is frequently the case
that there is not Il street lamp burn
ing, and the pedestrian finds himself
without light and with mighty little
hope OF getting home without stepping
off the sidewalk into the mud.
Will the Council take the matter in
hand and give "a long suffering public
a change?

The matter of redistricting the State
by the present legislatures is one Of
great Importance. Already bills have
been prepared and their champions are
ready to make any and every effort to
pass them. There should be no diff
Guilty in passing bill that so divides
the State into Districts which give a
fairand impartial showing to both polit-
ical parties, and no bill that attempts
to steal votes should be given any
support. Every time the State has
been gerrymandered so as to defeat
the will OF the people, the party pass
ing such bill has been condemned by
the people. The Republicans should
have care and not make any Demo-
cratic mistakes.

The Paulding, Henry and Wood

The Paulding, Henry and Wood
county papers are advocating the
building of macadamized or gravel
roads. Putnam county, or at least the
entire eastern portion of the county.
made their gravel and macadalnized
roads wears ago, and would not go back
to mud roads for four times the cost of
gravel or macadamized roads. To
build these roads the township issued
bonds, payable in twenty years. y
levy Of four mills is annually made to
pay the interest of the bonds. and this
levy raises enough money, and more in
some of the townships. than is required
to pay the interest. No taxation is
more popular than that for such a
urpose, and any person who would
advocate going back to mud roads
would be mobbed by an indignant peo.
pie. While the proposition to gravel
and macadamize the roads was bitterly
opposed by class of people at the
time, these very same people are now
strong advocates of such roads and
would be the first to condemn those
who oppose such improvements

be as easy for one of the members of
the so-called aristocratic families to
get out OF prison as for poor man to
get into it. Is it any wonder the poorer
