LIGHTS WILL
YET SHINE FORTH
Philadelphian Now Propos-
es to Put in an Elec-
trical Plant
ENTHUSIASTIC OVER MOBRIGE
Anxious that No Franchise be
Voted Until Capitalist
Can Get Here

Electric lights will yet illumine
the streets of Mobridge, for the
people of this city believe in the
maxim: If ct first you don't sue
ceed, try, try again" This is the
third time they have tried-and
the third time is the charm.
w. W. Seymour, a wealthy
capitalist of Philadelphia, is the
last man to have his eye on this
thriving city as an admirable loca-
ton for an electric light plant and
he writes President Nelson of the
city council asking him to if pcs
sible hold the franchise for plant
in this city open for a few weeks
unCil he can reach Mobridge. He
wrote that he would come right
away were it not for family mat
ters which will defer him until the
middle or latter part of the month.
Mr.. Nelson replied that he feels
confident that no franchise will be
granted within the month and that
it will be Mr.. Seymour's practi-
eally for the asking.
Mobridge was brought to the
attention of Mr.. Seymour by Geo.
NJ. Bailey, president of the North
