with reference to' charges made for

state some of the causes, although it
should be apparent that charges jfor

St. Pauls,Jan. 13 The prevalence
offlu seems ,to continue. It is every
where nearly again. We have lots of
it in our little town. I heard some talk
of closing the schools, etc., again, but
I heard the jingle of bells this morning
so guess they had the usual exercisse J
today.

Miss Lavinia Johnson was called

Mr. Albert Nutting is home from

p possible 855 sunlight - hours there
were in reality in this vicinity, about
105; the remainder of 250 being
cloudy. "
The sunset hour December 15th is
4:56 and June 15th is 7:09, a differ
ence of 2 hours and 13 minutes each
day, or 66 hours an d30 minutes dur
ing the month. To this add 250 cloudy
hours, making a total of 313 hours and
30 minutes.
Of course, it may not have been
necessary for every one to burn lights
during each and every cloudy hour,
nevertheless it necessitated more con
sumption during the month.
With largerr consumption necessary
(and the advance of 2c per K. W. one
can appreciate tne iact tnat uecemoer,
1918, was not an average month in the
cuncumption of current for lighting;
as is also bojne out by the fact that
the charge of the Yadkin Power com
pany to the town for December is a
bout $200 more than it was for Novem
