Extended the Time. “Owing to the change being made in the gas line from the old to the new field all the consumers may expect a light shortage o? gas for at least two weeks, which time it will take to make the change and to connect up the new well' to the line now being laid. As soon as the new line is liidj'and the wells Connected we expect to give better service, by far than that given during the past two years. The company now has meters on hands it is urgently requested that all persons who expect to use gas this winter will leave their order for a meter at once so that the company may be able to make orders in advance to the manufacturers for what meters we may need for other consumers. We are paying a bonus to the manufacturers in order to get all meters to supply our patrons at once and it is very hard to get an order, for the demand on the manufacturers is so great that their capacity is almost exhausted. All the gas companies located in the gas belt have been driven to the meter system in order to supply their customers. We being some 42 miles from the gas field are driven to force the gas such a long distance, requiring the best class of pumping machinery and from 800 to 1000 horse power steam to drive the great air pressure to supply our customers with gas that it entails an enormous expense. J. S. Bowers. Owing to the scarcity of meters and the slowness of the manufacturers to supply our orders we have extended the time for consumers to supply themselves with meters until November Ist. After that date gas will be sold only to those people who have the meters. This matter refers to consumers in Decatur. Monroe, Berne and all others along our line J. S. Bowers.

PALMERS MAGNIFICENT SCENIC PRODUCTION 0F.... UNCLE TOM’S CABIN "Uncle Tom’s Cabin” never grows old. There runs through It a vela of pathos neeu'liarly touching and sweet. It speaks the universal language ot the heart. It reflects, like a iprism, the Innermost pauses ot human emotion. Vt is more than a play; It Is a moral classic. It argues for two of the greatest themes that can engage the mind — bumaa Hourly, and immortality of the soul. It in so pure that Its touch alone Is chastening. Like the kiss of a child, it conquers by the vary innocence ot its breath. In the character of Eva, it Is unique. Who does not cherish In memory some sweet, angelic child who seemed to touch this earth ’only as a transient visitor who passed away with the dew of childhood s morning — too good, too pure, for us’ •• Was there ever a child like Eva?
