Lott's Light Plant Going In---Notes.
-----

       Lott, Texas, Aug. 28.--Work is progressing fast on the electric light plant.  Mr. Grisham, the promoter, hopes to turn on the lights about October 15.  The city council will have four arc lights on Main street.  This will then be the best lighted town of its size in Texas when the plant is in operation.
       The Farmers Union warehouse is now completed and has several bales of cotton stored in it.
       Merchants here are all getting in big stocks of fail godds in anticipation of the busy season.
       R. E. Threadgill has his big livery stable about completed.  It will be the finest in the county.
       The street commissioners have had all the main thoroughfares and several side streets nicely graded, which adds much to the looks of the town.
       Cotton picking will be in full blast in a few days.  Opening fast.
