JEsuP TO HAVE {
LIGHTS,

E.r . a- - E.-A 81 e b
"A piece of news was tipped off to
the editor of The Citizens Herald
this afternoon Thursday that means
much to the welfare and enterprise
Of our little city, the tip being that
Jesup was to have an electric light
plant.
The gentlemen behind the project
are. two of our enterprising and lead
ing citizens, M. O.. Young and Chas.
Frush: They have been working
quietly and giving the matter careful
consideration for some time and have
visited several neighboring towns hav
Ing electric light plants and have
reached the, conclusion that plant
can be maintained in Jesup whereby
our citizens can secure a good relia-
bic light at a reasonable figure, while
they will be able to realize small,
but satisfactory margin, from public
enterprise standpoint, on their invest
ment.
It Messrs. Young and Frush are
successful in securing the necessary
franchise, they expect to expend
about $4,000 in the system, but are
unable to give out any details OF
where it will be housed. - (Jesup)

@ Emphatic Comment.
It was held by the duke OF yelling.
ton that the true story of the battle
Of Waterloo had never been written.
a contemporary relates how he once
sat in carriage with the duke and
watched him read ponderous quar-.
to recital Of the battle of Waterloo.
Against paragraph after paragraph he
traced the letters L. or d. L. with
great blunt ended pencil. I ventured
to ask what these mystic letters
meant. The pithy reply was: Lie"

Before Houses Were Numbered.
Four hundred years ago the idea OF
numbering houses originated in Paris,
though it was not until 1889 that the
system became general. The first
known instance Of London street in
which houses were numbered is Pres
colt street, but the practice did not
spread far until 1864.
