BLACKBIRD, Oct. 4.-The people of
this village are very much delighted
over the fact that our streets are soon
to be as bright as our larger neigh
boring town, owing to the homely in
vention of Mr.. J. H. Fortner. Near
the road commissioners Office is large
sycamore tree which makes walking
near it very dangerous. Mr.. Fortner
has arranged a cheap but powerful
light to overcome this darkness. II
merely consists of an yeast powder
bottle with a cotton wrapping wick
down to the oil. The neck of the bot
tie is wired and it is remarkable what
a bright light is given.
The stork visited Blackbird on Sun.
day and left very nice baby boy at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. George G.
Heinold. Both mother and son are
doing we'll.
The Epworth League held conse.
Grafton meeting on Sunday evening.

mOred that revival services are to com.
