A Npleodld Proposal.
We iuvtte special attention to the
nnuouncement of Manager HuT, of
the Electric Street Railway, in tbi
issue. It will he found thit Mr.
Huff, on the part of the road, look
ii ? to the interest of our people, has
t rrauged to supply currents ior run
ning stationary motors, so that they
can enjoy the cooling effects of re
volving fans, Sec. Besides furnishing
the current, the company will supply
prrties with the necessary m- chinery
tiul fans: Patterns and designs of
machines and prices can be seen by
calling on Manager Huff at his office
over the old State National Bauk.
This is an important advance for our
people and we hope it will be most
widely taken advantage of. In fact
we think that Manager Huff is en
titled to tbe gratitnde of our citizens
for a movement so conducive to their
comfort.
