Beginnirg the fir&t of this month, last Sunday night, the Scotland Neck electric light plant put on an all night current. This is only for the residences, the street lights being turned off at midnight, as usual. The paople of the town greatly ap preicate this movement on the part of the town commissioners, and feel gratified that the success of the en terprise is such as to enable the town to keep up the all-night current. The service is as gsaad as can be found any where in the country and it is well for all people in town to patronize it who can. Of course electric lights cost a lit more than kerosene lamp light, but when one takes into consideration the convenince and the readiness of the service there is not so much dif ference.
