RURAL TELErHONES.
The telephone is one of the most
prcfitable business agcncies that the
f;irnier can employ, it affords him
facilities for keeping in constant com
munication with the markets, pro-
the booths and around him bolts of vides a sitting room for the comtnun-
ginghams, dress goods, suitings,
cheviots and shirting, the production
of tha mill. 'I*he covering of the floor
was a carpet from Elmira and from
the center to outer edgos was draped
in solid blue cloth from Lakeside.
This- goods being made chiefly for ex-
pon.
Miss Mary Freeman had charge of
the exhibits ot the HoU-Granite Man
ufacturing Co,, ^which consisted of
suitings, dress goods, -.cheviots, denim
a.«S outing, and was tho most extens
ive line of the show.
Mrs. F. L. Williatuson was in
charge of the exhibits of Saxapahaw
and the booth was designed as a liv

Without the inconvenience of travel

501,000 to 1,000,000 bales of cotton to

Cnurch he mails a request for such

patch. The rector decided that is
could be quite easily ficcf^niplished and
would speak to the Baptist 'minister
about it.
The Baptist minister, on hearing
thii was quite delighti.n and readily
agreed to baptize and t»ke the young
man into the church the fcjlowing
Sunday morning, but said the rector:
“He just wants j’ou to baptize him
and he wants to join iny church.”
