The Knterprise now has ruin dreds of rural siibscnoer throughout Randolph and .ml ford, and we are always pleased to have them call us over the long distance phone. We are also gratified to see within the past two years such a remarkable ex tension of telephone service into the homes of the farmers. The country 'phone is a boon to rural residents in banishing their isola tion and bringing them closer to gether, and it is a protection to life and property. I'ut the constant and universal value of the rural phone is in keeping every subscriber in close touch with the city, and in pro moting sociability and bringing the people into closer touch so cially. Many a weary mile and hours of time are saved bv means of the rural 'phone, and in a short time the country merchant will find it of great value also. Plione us the country news, we are al ways glad to hear from you. CLUB PARTY. The Bridge Club met yester day afternoon with Mrs. B. S. Cummings as the charming hos tess.
