Show JOYS OF A COUNTRY PUBJJSHSR MANY Intermittent Light Service Adds "Kick" to Otherwise Prosaic Mundane Existence We wonder if we will over develop devel-op a light and power system in this country which will bo free from such annoying interruptions as we have experienced ex-perienced the past two days. It really re-ally appears that the electric light system in Cedar City has always had a special spite for Tho Record. It was so with tho old company and it appears to be so with tho Dixie company. com-pany. If there is trouble on the system, sys-tem, with tho lines or with the plant, it is much more likely to occur on Thursday or Friday than any other time. At least that is the way it appears ap-pears to us. Yesterday morning, wo were well ahead with our work, and apparently tho paper would issue early Friday morning. Then things began to happen. Three of tho merchants mer-chants held their ads. until nearly evening on Thursday before bringing in their copy. Both Banks brought in their quarterly reports; tho bond election elec-tion required special notice and at tention; anu tnen tno electric current deserted us and was black more than half of the day. Thursday evening we j l succceedcd in overecoming a part of I tho handicap, and went to bed with I visions of catching the mid-day mails with our issue. But Just as wo wero j getting started to work, puff off goes I the lights und it is 2 p. m. before we , can resume type-setting or mako oth- i or material headway on the edition. And hero wo are, Saturday morning I getting to press instead of Friday j morning as we had so confidently i planned. And such is the joy of a j country printing office. Verily it is j just "one continuous round of pleas- I ure," or in other words, "just one I damn thing after another." I Lino trouble is said to bo responsible responsib-le for Ijet interruptions in the service jof tho light company. The east side 'of tho complete circuit is just being l closed, which should put an end to 1 these lino trouble interruptions. We hope so, at least. |
