ELECTRIC FLAG HERE.
Flag Donated by Hon. L. NJ. Shaw
Arrives and Will Be Placed
on the Court House,

The electric flag presented to the
city Of Denison by Hon. Leslie NJ.
Shaw, arrived last week and will be
installed in the near future on the court
house. 1t had first been planned to
put the flag on the dome of the court
house, but on account of it's large di-
mensions it was feared that it might
be damaged in wind storms, so it has
been decided to place it Just above the
entrance on the south side of the
building, where it can be seen from
the Northwestern station. The flag is
made of metal and painted in colors
and at night will be lighted with cleo
tricity and in such manner that it
will appear to be waving in the breeze.
1t is indeed a beautiful gift and one
that will long be appreciated by the
residents of Denison.
