lamps. The arc lights are furnished
at 81. per month and the incandes-
cents at SO cents. Those who use a
number of incandescents have put on
meters, thus only paying for the
electricity used; this reduces the ex-
pense to the minimum. We also
inspected the new and handsome
school house which our progressive
neighbors have just completed at
cost of about $4,000. It lisa fine
brick structure, and would bea credit
