 People Want Gas.
 Tt is possible that gas mains will be laid to this city in the near future,' said  merchant today, "A majority of the people of this city were accustomed to the use of gas as a fuel before they cana to Ensley and it is a great inconvenience for them to do without it.
 "They have been making appeals to the gas company for the service and it is believed that mains will be laid and gas brought to this city in a very short time. Gas has advantages as fuel and for lighting purposes that cannot be secured in any other way and I am of the opinion that the extension of the service to this city would be of great benefit to the com pany as well as to the people,
