Owing to the fact that there VIII be
no electric lights for the churches il
has been decided by the pastors t
hold union services in the opera hal
Sunday evenings until further notice
The services next Sunday evening viii
be conducted by Rev. w. R. Daven
port. Sunday evening, Dec. II, they
will be conducted by Rev. G. L.
Shaeffer at which time the service OF
song which was on for Nov. 18th will
begin.
The absence of electric power ant
lights is a great inconvenience here
especially to the merchants. A few
have been able to make arrangements
with Mr.. Doe, superintendent of thu
E. l.. Chandler company, who will fur
nish power for lighting the depot ant
the Whipple French and Company
store from the sounding board fac
tory, and the opera hall, A. D
Beede's store and the Valley nous,
from the Veneer mill. The reported
inconvenience is to last from three

may be the former.
