Two weeks ago Asheboro's streets were fairly packed; a few days of rain gave us eight inches ot mud, with no decent street crossings; three days later the streets had dried but awfully rough. Asheboro needs to put rock on her streets in stead of dumping- more mud in the holes, and our sidewalks should be drained and cemented. D.epot street will dishearten any home seeker who is impressed by Ashe boro's handsome residences and hospitable citzeuship. Small Wreck. A small wreck occurred near Itan dleman Monday morning.

The past year has witnessed many imp-ovement8 in Asheboro's tele phone exchange, which is operated by local capital exclusively. The line was reconstructed dur ing the spring and a complete metallic system installed. The long distance lines were also over hauled and today our service is equal to the best in the State. At a recent meeting of the stock holders the report of manager Mor ris showed quite an increase in he cost of maintaining this seivice. due to the advauee in pr;ce of telephone supplies and electrical equipment, which necessitated a slight increase in the rate for the service as follows: Residence phones, per month, Al. .. Ollices, per month, 1.50. Factoiies and Business houses, per month, $2 00. The company announces that the exchange will be kept open ntil 9 o'clock, p. m., instead of eight o'clock as heretofore, and that the central ofiice will be opened from nine thirty to ten thirty a. m on Sundays, the latter service being intended more particularly for em ergency ami lung distauc calls. This will be a great convenience in that we have no train or tele graph service on Sunday. LEE'S BIRTHDAY. Kxerclses to be Held in the Academy Chapel January ifltli.
