In recent years it has become the fixed rule with all owners of good stock to careiu'.ly blankot th ir horses, not only when out of doors, but also in the stable.'1 E. R. Smitli is thiuking quite seriously oí putting in an electric light plant at Ma Bridgwater miU property and suppiylng Clinton and Manchester with electric lights. THe project seems entirely ïcasiule. He has an excellent waterpower located about hall way between the two towois and tlie only question is, wiU the people support such an enterprise. Steps are now belng taken' to ïind out about how many incandescent ügUts can b3 secured in this vülage. Mr. Smitlv will probably put in the plant Ü he can secure pledges for 200 16-candii power incandescent lights in Clinton and 300 in Manchester. It would seem as il this number might easlly be obtained. The Corporation woul'd ueed about liali that number to light the streets proply. It would cei-tainly be a niee Uiing to have etectric lights and we hope to see the project meet with success.1- Tecumseh News.
