Of the mos. interesting cases sched-

the railway company for 10000

Last week Jas. w. Harrison ten
dered his resignation to the Walhalla
Board Of Commissioners OF Public
Works, the resignation to take effect
January 3lst. Mr.. Harrison's resig-
nation was reluctantly accepted, he
having made a most capable and etn-
cient overseer of the local lighting
plant. and having gotten everything
in good running order. 1t is not
known definitely what Mr.. Harrison
Intentions are, but he is considering
entering another branch of electrical
work. Chas. w. Pitchford was elect
ed to take the place OF Mr.. Harrison.
and he entered upon his duties Feb
ruary lst. He is an electrician of
ability and will doubtless give entire
satisfaction to the Commission and
patrons Of the local plant. He is
son Of MIR. and Mrs. S. y. Pitchford,
Of Walhalla. and has for some time
been associated with his father here
in business. Jesse w. Rankin was
recently chosen as the night opera
tor Of the lighting plant, and he has
entered on his duties.
