The energetic projectors of the electric
light and water plant are vigorously pushing
forward their work and in Il few weeks our
streets and very many private residences will
be supplied with incandescent lights. Our
streets and many residences are already sup
piled with water and the question Of street
sprinkling is forever settled. When every
one can sprinkle before his own door the
radiance of dust is a matter of fact.
Although our town is sometimes said to be
Finished never year but one or two
new residences are added. One, now in
course OF erection. will, in every particular,
eclipse the town. 1t is being built by Mr..
James I. Lambert. who will occupy it upon
its completion in few months. 1t will he
thoroughly modern in style and architecture,
and will be furnished in every particular up
tO-dae. No time or expense will be spared
to make it a model home. Being located i'll
a commanding situation. with a most admira-
Bile elevation, the imposing structure will be a
literal ornament to the town. We congratu
late our neighbor for the taste displayed rs
for the thorough workmanship in which he is
having it built.
Mr.. Nathan H. Bale is building large ad
dltlon to his residence. which will add very
to his home comforts.
Negotiations are pending for the purchase
Of tract of land, adjacent to the town, for
Il permanent cemetery. This has long been
needed and ITS early consummatiOn is devOutly
wished.
