Petersburg is going to come to the front and have street lighting, but just what kind remains to be seen. The business men in general favor the electric system and will to some extent take lights in their business rooms. Now the question conies up can a company be organized, or some foreign company be prevailed on to accept a contract from the city and an agreement from the business men to take lights. The city Cornell is willing at any time to make a contract for street lighting. Organize an electric .compauy or do the next best tiling. The W. C. T. U. at their meeting on Friday decided to have an all day “Sabbath Observance’' meeting on the 3rd Sunday in December previous to an attempt to secure the much needed rest and church privileges for ail our business men as well as people of private life.

Emmet Smith, president of the Munuie national bank, came home Wednesday and will remain for several days attending to business matters. He is well pleased with his uow surroundings. The grand jury has been in session continuously siuce the first day of the term and may possibly extend over next week. It is expected that several indictments will be returned; hut of what nature remaius to be seen. Remember the farmer’s institute.

These institutes have, a great influence and much useful knowledge may be gained by attending them.

Over in Crawford county they have just struck an immense flow of oil. This gives encouragement to those Bitizens of Petersburg who are anxious to drill a well here.
