Yhe electric lights were turned
on last Thursday night and Cam.
den was made to realize that she
has as good lights as any of the
neighbor towns and much better
than anything she ever had in the
past. We congratulate Messrs,
Wade Lowry and John D. Rice,
the promoters Of the enterprise,
and right here we want to bespeak
for them liberal patronage by the
citizens of Camden. They have,
at considerable expense, filled a
long felt want, and we believe the
citizenship of the town can show
their appreciation in no better way
than to subscribe literally when
they are having the lights placed
in their homes and business houses.
