TO BUILD LIGHT PLANT
The Eufaula Council Considering the
 Matter.


 Eufaula, Feb. 15.-(speciaD-The City Council met in called session last night, the object of which was to consider a proposition from the Eufaula Electric Light anI Power Company to light the city. The Power Company wants an ad- vance of $464 over the price the city has been previously paying and the Council has refused to enter into the agreement. No action was taken last night, but there is a probability that the city will build and operate plant of its own. This matter, however. is the subject of some unfavOrable comment among the citizens many of whom do not think 1t would be a wise undertaking. It is known that the city waterworks is by no means a paying enterprise and it. is feared that light plant would not be. The waterworks question Is a puzziing one and is already being made an issue in the approaching municipal campaign.

NEW BEAT IN DALE.
Action of the Board of Commission
 CTS of the County.

CTS of the County.
 Ozark, Feb. 15-(Special.)--ThG Board of County Con missioners at its regular session. made a new beat, embracing the
 town of Pinckard on the Plant System.
 It was carved principally out of Newton
 beat. which was much too large4 This
 action of the Commissioners Is highly appreciated by the people of the entire county.
 D. NJ. Day of Newton. having rendered his resignation as County Surveyor. the Commissioners appointed Mir. Thomas Killebrew of the same town County Sur vcyor. He is a,young man who attended college at Auburn. He is well qualified for the position.
 At a regular meeting of the City Coun- cil 1t was decided to have an electric light plant put in, and also to have an artesan we'll bored, to increase the wa ter supply.
 There has been an urgent demand for the latter for some time, and the city Is delighted at the prospect of plenty of water and lights.
 Perhaps there is no city of its size in Alabama that has. a less bonded indebt- edness than Ozark. The city fathers have with marked financial ability avoid- cd involving the people in debt and have made good laws and they have been well enforced Ozark will own its electric
 ligfts, system of water works and will not be in. debt for them, as there is plen- ty of money in the treasury. Tho city'a income for all public purposes is between s11 900 and $l5.ooO year.

 Mrs. Simmons. who Is on visit from this place to Elba has been seriously sick for several weeks. but she is recover-
 ing slowly She is the wife of Judge
 John w. Simmons and is 80 years of age.
 The city is anxious over the Illness of
 Miss Stella Blackman. who is the head
 of the primary department of the city schools. She Is slowly recovering from an attack of pleurisy and will, in all probability, be at her post in few more months.
 Miss May Simmons has been employed by the school board to take her place as teacher.
 Dr. Scott. formerly of wetumpka. has moved to this city to engage in the prac- tice of medicine.
 There will not be large demand here for Western corn. The farmers, taking In the situation, saved an immense amount of hay and fattened their hogs on peanuts
 and thus saved much corn. They have
 planted, oats extensively and will plant
 much early Dent corn. Nearly all the sweet potatoes in the country have iotted, even seed potatoes will in some localities be hard to get. The finishing touches are being put on the court house.
