Two street lamps are badly need
ed ou Decatur street. Oue should
be placed in front of Mayor Tuck¬
er s borne end the other in tho folk
of the streets in front of Dr. W, H.
Lee’s residence. These lamps are
absolutely needed at these poiult,
and we believe it is tho duty of the
town to put up a few each year Until
the ci'y is well lighted. Think' of
this suggestion a moment, ye city
fathers, and give us more lights on
these bad nights.
