To the Public and My Friends.
I havo oponod a rostaurant togothor
with cigars, tojmccos and confection
ery and will glvo you tho vory best
treatment when you call at Sodor
borg's Inn.
The Bond Election.
Next Tuesday will docldo whothor
or not Kod Cloud is to Imvoauolnotrio
light plant. Should tho bonds fail to
carry wo will remain in darkness, for
it is a certainty that tho present coun
cil will not grunt a frauchiNo to a
privato individual or corporation, aud
it is almost equally cortaln that no
succeeding council could bo wheedled
into taking such a backward stop.
Thoro sooms to bo an Idea in tho
minds of somo of tho voters that tho
bonds to bo voted aro In aid of somo
privato firm or corporation, and that
thoro Is dangor of tho mouoy being
misappropriated. Nothing could bo
farther from tho truth. If tho bonds
carry, and wo hope thoy will, tho
money will bo kept, under tho control
of tho city administration and no 0110
will have a clianco to stoal it. Tho
electric light plant will bo under tho
absolute ownorship atid control of tho
city.
Somo of tho oppononts of tho bonds
havo boon vory busy the last fow days
trying to croato tho improasioh that
tho bonds would make a big inoroaso
In tho taxes. Tho increase in taxes
for tho llrst year, or possibly two
years, would bo itibignillcant, and after
that tho plant would bo solf-sustalu-Ing
besides paying tho Intorost on tho
bonds and building up a sinking fund
to pay tho bonds when due.
Whon Hod Cloud had an oloctrio
plant under privato ownership tho
owners of It mudo it pay, and it is u
slur on tho ability of our citizens and
tho city administration to oven insin
uate that, with tho improved methods
and tho backing of tho poople, thoy
could not do as well or bottor than a
privato individual or corporation.
Another urgumont advanced by tho
opposition touds to appeal to tho
pooror classes. Thoy say: "Why,
oven if tho city should put in a light
ing plant, you would havo to pay out u
lot of money to havo your houso wired
bofqro you oau havo lights.' Well,
that is true to a cortaln extent. But
supposo tho city should undortako to
wiro all tho residences at its own ex
pense, what would bo tho result? It
would morply moan that tho price of
tho electric current would have to bo
increased to moot tho cost of wiring,
so you would pay more in tho end.
It would bo still worse under privato
ownership.
If you want to see tho city grow,
vote and work for tho bonds next
Tuesday.
Hilled a Fox.
Quito a little excitement was stirred
up in the vicinity of-Amboy Thursday
foronoon by a genuine fox ohaso, a
form of sport that is exceedingly raro
In this part of tho world. In fact, this
is tho first instauco of tho kind wo
ever heard of In this section. A dog
belonging o Sam Miller, living just
north of Amboy, started tho quarry.
Word was passed among tho neigh
bors aud quito a numbor turned out
and gave chaso. The fox was .finally
cornorod noar tho rivor south from
the Starke, place, and Will Rassor put
an end to its troubles by shooting it.
Tho animal was u flno largo specimen
of redfox, and whore it camo from
is a mystery, as no ono around horo
sooms to havo ovor heard of foxes
boing soon in this country.
