Now is the time that the citizens of
Pennington are receiving full benefit
from the recent oiling of the streets,
which are in perfect condition, inso-
far as dust conditions are concerned.
The total absence of dust in this COM
munity, whether or not the weather
is windy, is indeed pleasing and vivi-
flying, and is calculated to prove, ev-
en- to those who may have opposed
such action, that oiling the streets
really pays. The present complete
absence of dust is also strong ar
gument in favor of two oilings in
stead of but one.
Just received a new Buick-six, s.
passenger touring car, could have sold
this car twice over the last two weeks

as it will not be here long.-Norwine

DE-. Esi,C. Mccormick on Sunday re-
ceived a message stating that his som
in-law, II. L. Nichols, of Albert Lea,
Mimi, was dead. Fortunately, how
ever this information later proved to
be mistake, the error apparently oc-
curing at DeLassus, where the tele-
gram was transmitted to telephone
wires. The latest information from
the bedside of Mr.. Nichols, who has
been critically i'll, is that he is con-
siderably improved. Miss McCor-
mick, who is a trained nurse, left i'm
mediately for Albert Lea to render
any assistance in her power to her sis
ter and husband.

The City Council has recently hat
an expert employed in Pennington
examining into the cost to the city OF
| producing electricity. Liz HSuiSo VI
the expert will unquestionably show
that the cost is too great to permit
the city to furnish the electric current
at the present prices. 1t costs biz
money to produce the electric current
that is constantly at hand for all con
sumers, day and night, and such cost
has been constantly mounting upward
owing to the rapidly increasing price
of everything required for its manu-
| facture. The city rates for electricity
must be increased if the city is to re-
ceive even a margin Of profit there
from.
