lee From ELECTRICITY.

Ice from electricity was one of
several promises recently extended
by one of the electric companies in
the United States to number of
of specially invited guests. Elec-
trio heating and cooking, electric
forging and electric piano playing
were all down on the list Of attrac-
tons offered, but the making of ice
in an electrical way seemed likely
to be of eminent interest. True,
it was, after all, the regular matter
of fact process carried out with one
of the well known makes of am
monia compression machines, but
the latter, instead of being driven
by a steam engine in the usual way,
was connected with an electric mo
tor, which furnished the necessary
power. 1t simply afforded another
illustration of the rapidly extending
field of electric motor applications
and certainly demonstrated the
making of ice by electricity, though
perhaps somewhat differently from
what may have been expected by
those who attended the exhibition.

people to go down in their pockets
and contribute the ducats to make
the celebration a success. Get a

live steps to Secure Such Structure
for Putnam.
Winfield, June 5.-Agreeable to
nouneement, our County Com
fasteners met hero yesterday for
he purpose of taking some active
tops in the court house affair.
Iany representative citizens were
'resent and many more, knowing
"a sterling integrity of our honor
missioners, took it for
hat the court would act in
er in conformity with the
public welfare and there
d not attend the meeting.
in this they were not disap-
hted. Among many plans sub
ltted, the one handed in by Mr..
iilbourn, representing the court
house which is nov in course of
construction in Trigg county, KY,
received the favorable consideration
of the court. 1t is a neat, commo-
dious and modern building, the
cost OF which will be close to 3d.
600, but considering that several
thousand dollars worth of building
material can be utilized here from
our old court house, our county will
only have to go to the nominal ex-
Penditure of perhaps seven or eight
thousand dollars to give us fac
smile of the Trigg county struc-
ture.
Specifications will be published
at once and bids received and open
ed on July 1st, and then Putnam
county will enter into the ranks of
her progressive neighbors, who be-
lieve in commodious and comforta-
BILE public buildings.

The work of making convicts
construct good roads throughout
the great state of Texas is proceed
ing with commendable rapidity.
The arrangement is that the state
convicts shall prepare the material
for roadmaking, while the county
R.nviets shall do the work on the
ac.dbeds themselves. If this plan
auhoroughly carried out, it will be
afllions of money to Texas. I'm
