Electric Light Talk.



SIR:-I wish you to give publicity to
the statement that am not, and have
not been opposed to putting additional
electric lights on the Borough's electric
line in the East ward or any other
ward where the need of same is plainly
evident. [ am opposed however, to
putting in an entirely new addition to
our present line, an addition to run up
Portage to Plank Road Hollow and up
the Plank road to Spring street, requir-
ing in the neighborhood of one-fourth
mile of wire, every foot of which is to
be strung near the township line and
the current paid for by the borough to
be used to light the railroad yard
along the Portage and the farm lands
OF 5. 5. Hacket or any other man in
Shippen township.
am opposed to Councils authoriz-
ing any job of new work without
definite proposition in writing and a
binding contract.
If there were at this time an electric
lamp wired and ready for use in Plank
Road Hollow, I should oppose the
furnishing of power for such lamp by
the borough plant, at least until such
time as the Council had fulfilled their
moral obligations to the taxpayers by
getting the inside lighting to its point
of highest efficiency and making every
effort to produce an income from the
plant, which is the proposition on
which the people voted.
l shall oppose the extension of the
electric light plant in any direction
east, west, north or south until some
income is derived from commercial
lighting, and our original obligation is
fulfilled.
This years Council cannot legally
pledge next years revenues or any
part of them for any contract.
a lamp in Plank Road Hollow would
consume more current and be more
expensive to operate than any lamp
on the circuit and in my opinion we
are morally bound to make more of an
effort to to sell the current before we
furnish power for such locations.
AS to Mr.. Hacket's statement that II
seem to think that know more than
all the members of the Council COM
bined." l would hardly like to go as
far as that, but if l die not think
knew more on some subjects than
some of the Council, would go out
behind barn somewhere and shoot
myself.

DEATHS DOIN0S.
PELHAM.

MR.. LEMUEL PELHAM, of Glen Hazel,
Pa, son-in-law of Mr.. Edwin Close, of
West Creek, departed this life Satur-
day evening, Jan. 4th, 1902, after a
painful illness of several weeks, with
pnemonia.
He was in prime of life, being about
A years of age. He was converted and
joined the M. E. church about three
months since and walked daily with
God, rejoicing in the power of God to
save him from sin. His experience
seemed to grow brighter each day and
he carried with him the evidence that
he pleased God. AS a protection for
his family herecently took out policy
in the Maccabees and seemed to have
everything ready for his departure. He
leaves wife and three children two
brothers and other relatives and many
friends to mourn his loss, while he has
gone over to live in the "house not
made with hands eternal in the heav-
ens." Mr.. Pelham was man highly
respected, honorable in all his dealings
and the whole community will feel his
loss, which was evinced by the large
number that gathered at the service at
his home on Tuesday morning, where
they took the last farewell, prior to
the removal of his remains to How
ards Siding, where relatives and friends
gathered in appropriate service, after
which he was laid to rest in the beauti-
full little Cemetery at West Creek, to
await the resurrection morn.
miss the my Husband oh, when do | not,
Though know it was the wisdom of Heaven,
That the deepest shade fell on my suniest spot,
And such tie ofdevotion was riven.
For when thou was with me my sonl was below
was chained to the world | then trod,
My Affections My thoughts were all earth bound,
but now
They have followed thy spirit to God.

A Wholesale Grocery for Bis
marck, N. D.
l. Patterson Mercantile Co. Decides
to Start One There, With Robt.
Orr Manager.

The L. Patterson Mercantile Co.
will start another wholesale grocery
house, at Bismarck, N. D., in July.
Robt. Orr of Fairmont, who has
travelled for the company for the past
seven years, will have small interest
in the new house and will reside at
Bismarck and give the business his
personal supervision. Three or four
travelling men will be employed, and
the business will be conducted about
the same as it is in this city.
A three story double building has
been rented at Bismarck as location,
and it will be filled with goods. The
building is in the center of the city
and is well adapted for the business.
There is no wholeale grocery house
at Bismarck at the present time, nor
is there one within $50 miles of the
city. Bismarck is located in fertile
section of the state, and will soon
have three railroads. The location
is considered an excellent one for q
wholesale grocery house. The Messrs.
Patterson have looked the ground over
thoroughly and have decided that they
will occupy the field. The friends of
this enterprising firm will wish them
success in their new venture. st..
