Brookhaven Coming to the Front.

Brookhaven is coming to the front
about as fast as any town in the State.
Besides numerous manufacturing en-
terprises, a compress and ice factory,
that little town of thirty-five hundred
inhabitants, has electric lights and
water works. The beauty about the
whole thing is, the town owns its water
works and electric light plant, which
enables the town to furnish the service
at such nominal cost that nearly the
entire population can avail themselves
of these great conveniences. Brook
haven, with her population of about
one-fourth that of jackson, furnishes
to residences and business houses over
eleven hundred incandescent lights,
while Jackson, we are told, hasn't more
than three hundred in use. The Brook
haven lights are furnished at 36 cents
per month. Here's where the mu-
nicipal ownership comes in.-Jackson
