With nothing, waf the
more favorably impresseo

and service these people
Just one example: He st(
at Dr. Moir's store and a
the doctor to phone some pai
he was to meet at Asbury, \
he was on his way and would
there in one hour. In a f
minutes the doctor returned ah
said the message had been d«
livered and that they would bv
there. This message was sent
so quickly and quietly thai it
was feared that the parties,
might not understand and might
not be present. But not so;
upon his arrival, two of the men
were present and said they had
received a message to meet us
there at 6 o'clock p. m. By the
time we had finished our work,
the other parties had come and j
not a minute was lost. j:
The writer was called to the ;
phone several times and noted j
the ease and satisfaction in talk
ing with parties miles away.
He saw no broken poles, lines.:
in the mud or hung upon a snag
or brush pile and heard no one i
whooping and hollowing as if
the parties were trying to talk
through the air rather then over
an electrified wire, a* is the
in this section. Almoet every
heme has its phone. ■ r
The people are enjoying'this
splendid service becauag ' they'
