Evidently the guilty parties are home talent, and their nerve failed them, fearing that they might be caught with the stolen property in their possession. Now, Mr. Root would like to know "who Is who." Little Folks Entertained.

There was a bright flash of light, a deafening detonation, a rat tling of shot amid the distant cotton woods, followed almost Instantly by a dull thud the fall of a heavy body.

THE LIGHT HATTER AGAIN Will the City C:r.;';l Accept the Proposi tion of tts Gleavscd Man? IT SEEMS TO BE QUITE LOW ENOUGH And Some People are Wondering Why the Home Company Wants More. Citizens, property owners and busi ness men should agitate a little more earnestly the proposition to put arc lights upon the streets. It you want them as badly as they are really needed go right straight to the mem ber of the council from your ward and tell him so. Tell him the city cannot afford to do without lights any longer and thus endanger the life of citlens who have business down town after nightfall. To remain without lights longer Is outrageous, when the council have a proposition to put them In so cheaply. We have a lighting company here at home, and It would seem to a man up a tree that It a stranger can come here and put in so many arc lights at a stated price, the company established in the city could do the work for the same price, or, in fact, much less. It looks very reasonable that It can. But let this be as it may give us lighted streets. Here we bave a city of 6,000 or 7,000 people that once toasted of an excel lent lighting system, that made Main street as light as day the darkest night that ever was, and the stranger who then entered our gates spoke of our enterprise and "get up and git." But a few years ago a shade of black ness gathered over the town and It has remained there for about six years or more because the city authorities thought the lighting company was robbing them. But now we have an opportunity to get lights at a very reasonable rate and every citizen between now and the meeting of the council next Mon day night should agitate the matter and give expression to their opinion before that date, and let the members of the council be goverened accord ingly in their actions regarding the matter. Let's stop this monkey business. The people demand light, and the sooner they get It the better it will please them. If our home lighting company will not be as reasonable In Installing these lights, we say glre the contract to the Glenwood man. "Home first the world afterward," has always been the Journal's motto, bub in this case the home lighting company does not seem to hew to this line as enthusiastically as we believe it should. But by all means, let us have more light In riattsmoutli. Ma.ple Grove Piwclal Correspondence. Jake Hlld made a business trip to Nehawka last Thursday.
