Selma, January SpecaL)-Selma is considering the building of a municipal lighting plant, following the recommenda- ton of such a step to the city council by Mayor Louis Benish, at the first meet ing of the year. Mayor Benish is of the opinion that the city should own it's own electric lighting and gas plant,
 The present contract of the city with the lighting company expires in August and the matter of issuing bonds, or the calling of an election for the issuing of bonds, preparatory to the building of lighting plant, or the making of a favor able contract with the present company, is of great importance just now m the minds of citizens
 Because of the trouble with the light ing plant, when for weeks past the city was renderedfth the most unsatisfactory ser vice, due to the inability of the light ing company to secure proper coal, the situation has been made more acute, and interest centers at present in the light ing situation.

Montgomery, JanuarX H.-(Special) Important recommendations which are made in the message of Governor Hen derson to the legislature of 1919 will be printed in book form and given wide distribution instead of reading it to the house and senate. The bodies Tuesday afternoon decided to have extra copies printed. The house will get 800 and the senate 2oO0. Governor Henderson mes sage to the legislature contains Il pages. He reviews the work of the various de- partments during his administration of state affairs. Suggestions which he be- lieves will be of benefit to the state are made.
 .'The past four years have been truly an epoch-making period says the state ment Many glorious pages have been added to the history of our nation since the close of the deliberations of your predecessors. Never before have the peo- pie of our common country been more closely united with single purpose and possessed with such an earnest desire to be of service to their country and to their fellowman, as they were during the 20 months in which we were at war with European enemies. This unified CO., operation and wholesome spirit of self sacrifice will make up the brightest pages in the annals of democracy. The spirit displayed has shown that the nation prosperity had not made of it's citizenship a sordid people. but >has been, it seems, rather an inspiration to higher ideals and better fellowship
