LET THERE Be LIGHT
Lyanville Citizens May Get Power
and Light from 0skaloosa.

Lynnyille Star: Do the citizens of
Lynnville want electric lights?. That
is the question before us now. A
movement is on foot looking to this
end and the Oskaloosa Light & Power
company is behind the deal and if
sufficient support is Forthcoming our
city can have electric lights with day
and night service.
The above mentioned company was
recently taken over by the Mckinley
interests, of Chicago, the firm which
some time ago absorbed the Des
Moines street railway Co., and which
has now extended its plant to New
Sharon. where it Is furnishing that
city with day and night service.
The day of the tallow dip and the
smoky oil lamp has had its time, and
our citizens are as justly entitled to
good lights as any other town and
can have them if we will only take
advantage of what is offered, us, and
without doubt we have all had our
trouble with gasoline lights, which are
more or less trouble and expense a
greater part of the time.
III the proposition is shown up to the
company in the proper light and sui
ficient lights guaranteed they will ex-
tend their lines from New Sharon,
possibly through SearsbOro to here
and on to Sully if that city wants the
lights. 1t would appear TO the writer
that this is a good opening for Lynn.

all reasonable effort should be made

Death came as surprise and a
shock to friends and relatives, both in
this city and Knoxville. 1t was both
sudden and unlocked for, the result
of heart depression, following an oper.
alton Of simple character, performed
Saturday afternoon at the Oskaloosa
hospital. The patient rallied from
the anaesthetic in satisfactory and
normal way. She was bright, cheer
fll and seemed strong, She had
chatted and laughed with relatives
and with the nurses in attendance up
on her, and her condition was all that
could be desired. No one anticipat-
ed anything approaching serious ma
ture.
Deceased was the second daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. George Fl. Ramsay
and hers is the first death in family
of ten children, four boys and six
girls. She lived the greater part of
her life in oskaloosa, where she was
well and favorably known. The resi-
dence in Knoxville was of compare
lively recent date. She is survived
by husband, a little son, George, Jr.,
father and mother, brothers, William
c., Robert and Roy, of Knoxville, and
John, a resident of Dies Monies, and
sisters, Anna, wife of Frank Ewing,
Clara. wife of John Novels, and Dora,
wife of Carl Mayer, all of Oskaloosa,
Miss Stella and Mrs. Maggie Beal, of
Knoxville.
Following death at the hospital the
deceased was taken to the home of
the sister, Mrs. John Novels, No 437
North Tenth street, to remain until
time for departure for Knoxville. De-
ceased was one of the best known
young ladies' of Oskaloosa during the
extended residence of the family here
She grew from childhood and a school
girl here in Oskaloosa and was a So
cial favorite during the years of her
residence. Her untimely taking off is
deeply regretted by all who knew her
and were associated with her in the
old days here. The immediate fam
lily and the relatives of the deceased
have the sympathy of friends both
here and at Knoxville.

Another week with much sunshine
and no rain until Friday night has ad.
vanced farm work rapidly. A large
acreage of ground is ready for the
planter, and in many localities. in the
southern counties, corn planting has
begun. The first few days of the week
were too cool for normal growth of
vegetation and the heavy frost on the
18th endangered the prospects of a
ruit crop, but late reports do not
show any damage done. After the
2Sth the DAYS We're warm enough
to bring the average temperature for
the week to about eight degrees above
the normal. CopiOus to heavy showers
occurred Friday night, Saturday or
Sunday In all parts of the state. The
needed moisture will be highly bene-
fetal to all vegetation and especially
to small grains, grasses and early po-
tatOes.
