SYLACAUGAHA
 ELECTRIC PLANT

Sylacauga,. May 3.-(Special) )-Syla- cauga is now receiving electric current from her hydro-electric plant, located Is miles south of the city on Hatchett creek.
 The development is at the old Me Ewen mill site, where a large grist mill had been continuously operated for the last 50 years.
 The present plant consists of one pair of horizontal twin turbines developing 375 brake horsepower on 19-22-foot head under 1855 cubic feet of water per second. These wheels were made for the town by the Trump Manufacturing company of Springfield, O.
 This work was begun just year ago by Mayor Mcdonald and his administra- tion and completed by the present mayor, F. Prather, and the new board Of alder men. The successful termination is a matter of pride for all the citizens and especially of those who have had actual charge and responsibility for the work. It means much for the town and will aid materially in the location of small industries by reducing the cost of power.

Fred Floyd is presi- dent held a very interesting and en- joyable meeting at the church last Wednesday evening, at which the fol- lowing were invited guests: The Rev. J. l.
