 News of Jonesboro.
 The city council of Jonesboro will meet in regular semi-monthly session at the city hall next Tuesday night and will have number of important matters to attend to, among which will be the ques- tion of installing street lights for the town and the announcement by the Mayor of the managers and returning officers that will serve in the forthcoming cleo ton.
 The matter of furnishing the town with electric street lights Is interesting the cit- izens, as the installation of such sys- tenn would mark a two-fold step in the progress of the town, not only doing away with the danger harboring darkness, but paving the way for free postal delivery to Jonesboro. It would be an easy mat ter to number the houses While it would be a considerable expense to the town to maintain the arc lights. the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company al- ready has its service lines extending to Jonesboro and 1t would take only short time to make connections. The prevailing opinion Is that the time has come Tor such an innovation for Jonesboro, and 1t is believed that the council will act fa- vorably on the measure at the meeting Tuesday night
