BUSINESS
 SHOWS INCREASE Receipts for July Very Encour-
 aging at EnSley
A 30 PER CENT INCREASE
The Citizens Desire Free City De- livery and Hope That This Quar- ter's Business will Warrant
 This Service.

Ensley, August 2..-(Special)-Th month just closed shows very large increase in the volume of business done bv the Ensley postoffice. It was the largest and is clear index of the prosperous con- ditions existing in the city.
 There is no better barometer of the bust. ness of a town or community than the postoffice. July and August are considered to be the dullest months of the year, and the increased volume of business passing through the office during the month of July is very encouraging not nly to Post master J. W. Clayton, but to every busl- ness man who likes to read the signs of the times.
 1 It is believed by Postmaster Clayton l that this will be the banner quarter 1n 1 the history of the office, and consideri g | the fact that it will include the two dull months of the year the fact is very grati- l flying.
 The last quarter showed 6 decided in- crease in business, and proposition tn enlarge the office and put on a city de- livery service was seriously considered by the department. The people of hnsley are desirous of this service and are hopeful that this quarters showing will warrant the establishment of city 'arrlcr sys- tenn and enlarged quarters.
 The receipts of the office show 90 Ter cent increase since March of this year.

Will Act on Proposition to
 Build Light Plant
IS A VERY LIVE ISSUE
Financial Committee Meets This After noon at 1:3o O'clock to Audit city's Accounts-street improve
 ments to be Considered.

Ensley August 2.-tspecial.) .)-The city council of Ensley will meeet in regular session at the city hall tomorrw night and 1t promises to be one of the most important and eventful meetings held oy that body in a long time. Several matters of considerable importance are coming up for discussion, the most im- portant perhaps being the final disposi- ton Of the plan to build an electric light ing plant for the city.
 It will be remembered that at the last | session of the council proposition to build a light plant was referred to the people in mass meeting for an express sion of opinion. This meeting was held last Thursday night at the city hall and the eighty citizens present voted unani- mously in favor of the proposed plant.
 It is now up to the council to act, and in the face of the united vote of the cit izens there is little doubt but that the council will act favorably on the matter.
 Petition Circulated.
 A petition to be presented to the coun- ell asking that the plant be built by the city was circulated among the people today and it Is claimed that practically all the citizens of the city will have signed it by tomorrow night when the council meets.
 The petition charges that the com pany now furnishing lights in the city and to individuals in the city have broken their original contracts in that the com pany contracted to furnish 200 candle power series arc lights in stores and other places of business and charge for only six days in the week, the number of days on which the lights are used. and that later the company replaced these with 1900 candle power lights and are charging for seven days each week, and at the same rate as for the lights first used and for which they contracted. The petition also recites other reasons for the erection of plant by the city.
 Officials Will Report.
 The various city officials will make their reports for the month of July at the meeting tomorrow night which will consume some time
 At l.O tomorrow afternoon the finance committee will hold a meeting to audit the accounts of the city and prepare a report to be made to the council tomor- row night.
 It is understood that an ordinance will pc introduced at the meeting calling for the paving and curbing of Avenue F from Fourteenth to Seventeenth streets.
 It is almost a certainty that some defi- nite action will be taken in the matter of building an electric lighting plant 1t is estimated that something like $25, 900 will be required to build the plant and start it to operating, and 1t is claimed by those who have made an investigation of such things that the city can be much better lighted at less cost than at pres ent and that more satisfactory service can be furnished the individual consumer

to which the blushing bride is led
by five of her friends. They are seated
at the table, but no one eats. When
the mother starts crying the maids
follow and the bride joins In the
chorus. The bridegroom now enters
with four friends. They pick up the
throne on which the bride sits and,
preceded by the bridegroom, form a
procession and walk around the room
or into an adjoining room, signify
ing that he is carrying her away 10

craftlnu chestnut snrouts

Andrew S. Fuller, writing on the
grating of chestnut sprouts, says: In
grating the vigorous sprouts that al
ways spring up from the stumps Of
old trees that have been recently cut
down. we may reasonably expect a
prodigious growth OF the scion the
first season. as well as in succeeding
ones. and If all goes well with them
we will secure large bearing trees in
very few years. But such stocks
are only available where old trees are
sacrificed for their timber or other pur-
poses. Having few such sprouts
on my place, they have been utilized
from time to time In testing some og
the newer varieties OF chestnuts. In
one instance | allowed the scion, set
on a sprout about one inch in diane.
ter. six feet 1rom the base, to grow
unchecked throughout the season, as
it was in protected position. In the
fall the entire length Of the main
stem and lateral branches was sixty
i've feet, and all from one scion on
a bud set early in the spring. The
third year this tree bore about a
peck of very large nuts.
