The 127th anniversary of American independence was celebrated with ideal weather and a quiet, community affair in Troy.

A letter from Alexandria, Indiana praises Dr Kings New Discovery for coughs and lung troubles.

Troy to Have Day Service with Electric Fans
Troy citizens will gain a day service from the electric plant starting next week. Electrician Black reports pledged patronage sufficient to justify the program. Twenty fans will be installed in businesses and homes, with more to follow as hot weather increases demand. Rates: $2 per month for business, $1 per month for residences. Black expects about sixty fans this summer. Rumor says meter rates for lighting may revert to 10 cents per thousand watts, reinstating service for former users. A new street lighting material shipment arrives next week for West End additions.
