The city is amply supplied with water, pumped from the river into a reservoir higher than any of the houses, while the water from the old “Poplar Spring” is also used. The city owns and operates Electric and Gas Plants, and there is also an Incandescent Light Plant, owned by a private corporation, for lighting houses.
The town offers inducements to enterprising capitalists, and to those who are seeking homes in the genial climate of the South.
