I Notary Public. Another Light .Meeting. Those interested in the new light ing plant for Murray held another meeting Tuesday evening for the pur pose of making some advancement to ward the future success of landing an electric light plant in Murray, but from what we can learn they are just about at the same old point they have been for the past few weeks. While the promoters of the proposition are and have been for some time assured that Murray will have a light plant, up to the present time they have not secured sufficient support or not enough consumers who will come across with the required initiation fee to install us large a plant as they would like. There wiil be another meeting held Friday evening of this week, and it is the duty of all interest ed to be present and assist in install ing as large a plant as possible. M. W. A. Meeting. There wiil be a special meeting of the M. W. A. lodge on next Saturday evening. December 18th. All members are requested to turn out, as there are some matters of business to be looked after. Don't be Vfraid. Don't be afraid of a little fun at home, good people. Don't shut up your houses lest the sun fade your carpets, and your heart lest a laugh should shake down some of the musty cobwebs there. If you want to ruin your sons, let them think that all fun and social enjoyment must be left on the threshold when they come at night When once home is regarded as only a place to eat, to drink and to sleep, the work is begun that leads to gamb ling house and degraduation. Young people must have fun and relaxation somewhere. If thev do not find it at their hearthstone it will be sought in other places. Therefore, let the fire burn brightly at home ever delightful with all these little arts that parents so artfully understand. Don t repress the buoyant spirits of merriment around the lamp and firelight of home that blot out their remembrance of many a care and annoyance during the daw and the best safeguard they can take with them into the world is the unseen influence of a bright and cheerful domestic sanctum.
