DARKNESS NO MORE.
The dream of some of our lead
men is beginning to be realized.
St Johns has for a long time
been dreaming of a time when it
could have the convenience of
electric lights and power, and this
dream was to some extent realized
last Sunday night when the Nebo
Electric Light and Power Com-
i pany released the wheel and set
jin motion the big Dynamo at their
j power house on the banks of the
, Little Colorado river,
The electric current was turned
I on and a number of the business
houses are now using the juice.
Sunday night the movie show of
A. E. Johnson used the new sys
tem and the show went through
without a hitch.
Tom Carraway who has had the
supervision of the work of install
ing, etc. has proved marked abi
lity along this line to the entire
satisfaction of all.
There is at present about fifty
lights installed and others will
soon be using the electric lights
and as the line is extended it will
not be long before the entire city
will be illuminated with electric
ity. Several globes have been attach
ed at intervals along the main
streets and although they are
small and were only placed for
tests they flight up the streets
fine.
The men of Nebo Company
are to be congratulated and com
mended for the success they have
had in installing this good and
worthy enterprise in our city.
May it always prove to be a suc
cess and a profitable business to
those interested is the wish of the
citizens of Apache County,
Constipation and Indigestion.
These are twin evils. . Persons
suffering from indigestion are
often troubled with constipation.
Mrs. Robert Allison, Mattoon, 111.
writes that when she first moved
to Mattoon she was a great suf
ferer from indigestion and consti
pation Food distressed her and
there was a feeling like a heavy
weight pressing on her stomach
and chest. She did not rest well
at night, and felt worn out a good
part of the time. One bottle of
Chamberlain's Tablets corrected
this trouble so that she has since
felt like a different person. Adv.
Miss Ruth Wallace the popular
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Frank
Wallace of Holbrook is in the
city and is at work in the St.
Johns State Bank. We have not
as yet learned whether Miss
Wallace will remain with us or
whether her stay is just tempo-
rarary, but we hope that she will
decide to remain in our city.

time resident of Apache County

Nature Cures, The Doctor Takes the Fee
There is an old saying that
"Nature cures, the docter takes
the fee", but as everyoue knows
you can help Nature very much
and thereby enable it to effect a
cure in much less time than is
usually required. This is parti
cularly true of colds. Chamber
Iain's Cough Remedy relieves the
lungs, liquifies the tongue mucus j
and aids in its expectoration, j
allays the cough and aids Nature
in restoring the system to a;
healthv condition. Adv. 1
