Scribbler Writes About
Telephone Companies.
King Route 2, Aug. 30. —We
are glad to see that Banbury is
making arrangements to have
a telephone system as it is so
badly needed. We understand
that city has been without ser
vice for some time with the ex
tion of one telephone on a
farmers line. Twelve years ago
there was no telephone system
iin this country except the Bell
! Telephone Co., and it only eon
' nected to a few towns and vil
! liages and the farmers who feed
j the world were left without ser
! vice. Now and then when there
was a farmer that was able to
pay $25 or S3O a year he was
alowed to connect on, but yet he
was not allowed any voice. All
they wanted was his money. The
farmers of this section decided
to build them a telephone system
jto suit their business and when
'they commenced it the Bell Co.
had a man to meet them and
suggest plans by which to cap
ture the company but their sug
gestions have proved to be a
failure. The farmers of this
I
section don't have much busi
ness at Raleigh and if they do
they don't mind paying their
way on a train or paying for j
' service ov£r the Bell system and j
if it be necessary they can go'
in a bull cart.
When Mr. M. F. Overby, who
passed away a few weeks ago,
started in life he was forced to
; work an ox the lirst year as he
didn't have proper means to buy
a horse and was not even able |
to feed him and had to tie him;
!on the grass in the heat of the j
day so that he might be able to
make a crop. Mr. Overby was
a successful farmer and no man j
ever enjoyed life any more than j
he did, and no man ever helped
his neighbors any more than he !
did, and when he departed this 1
life he left an estate worth
$20,(1011. This is enough to show,
to the reader that the bull cart j
is not either a failure or disgrace.!
The farmers here say they have 1
the kind of telephone system
that pleases them and they, by
( misfortune, were not born of
wealthy families like the Bell
; Telephone Company.

RAY-DUN LAP.
' Marriage of Stokes Couple
: Consummated In June Hasj
' Just Come to Light.
Mr. Car! Ray and Miss Bert-he !
I Dun lap, a popular Stokes coupD, i
were secretly married on June
14th last, and their marriage 1
was first made known here this;
week.
The ceremony was performed !
at Martinsville, Va., at the Cen
tral hotel in the presence of only j
a few witnesses, Rev. Hill, of j
Martinsville, olliciating.
Mr. Ray is well known as a
ball pitcher and is popular among
a large circle of friends, while
the bride is one of the county's ,
popular school teachers and re
sided at Dillard. The couple'
is at present residing with a
sister of the bride, Mrs. L. T.
Isom, near Walnut Cove. They '
will likely begin housekeeping as
soon as Mr. Ray finishes his
work for the season as pitcher
on the Greensboro league team.
Peculiar Work of Lightning.
I.rxlimtoli 1 Mspatcll.
Dr. J. W. Peacock, of Thomas
ville, was in town Monday and
told us that Sunday afternoon ,
about 4 o'clock he was called i
down to Mr. Dennis Black's on i
the old Trinity road from Thomas
ville to see his daughter, a Il- 1
year-old who was struck by (
lightning. She was sitting on |
the front porch when she was |
struck by a bolt of lightning I
which burned the hair off the '
side of her head, burned a J
streak all the way down her
body and split her foot open. |
and that where it left her foot |
it knocked a hole in the floor I
burning the house up. The '
young lady is living and doing J
well. Had it not been for a |
young man who ran in on the |
porch to get out of the rain, and |
who dragged the girl to safety, I
she would have been burned up '
with the house, as none of the J
family were at home. One of |
( the peculiar freaks the lightning |
i took was to knock the sole off |
of a shoe that was in the back
end of the house, quite a ways '
from where the young lady was. J
