LIqhts fer Orchard.

Orchard News: Orchard Is soon to
take her place In the front rank Of the
well lighted towns. as within the next
six months the enterprlsing firm Of
Mahood Bros. will install an adequate
plant to furnish lights for the entire
village, both the business and resi-.
dence sections. Some weeks ago. as
an experiment this firm secured a
small dynamo for their own use and
have extended the wiring to several OF
the business houses. This has proven
so satisfactory and the demand for
further extension has been so great
that they decided to I'LL the wants of
all. Accordingly permission was asked
OF the village board to wire the
town. and this was granted at the
meeting on Monday, as may be seen by
the ordinance published in another col.
umD. This calls for the completion OF
the plant within six months, and in all
probability IL will be in working order
soon after the advent OF warmer
weather.
