Electric Lights Turned On Wednesday Night

Talbotton has been dreaming of electric lights for many years but last night her
dreams came true, and the historic old square was illuminated.  Although the
weather was cold and disagreeable many of the citizens of the town turned out to
see the wonderful improvement.  The citizens have been in the dark for well nigh
a century but the city fathers of Talbotton have been determined that there
should be light in the old town and we have light.  While only the business
square is lighted at present, the city fathers expect to have lights practically
all over the town by the time Santa Claus comes.

We have heard that many many years ago Talbotton voted bonds for electric lights
but for some reason the validation of same was defective and nothing came of it.
 This is only hearsay with us because it happened before we were old enough to
sit up and take notice.  – Talbotton New Era
