TELEPHONE NOTES.

nv GO.
There are sixteen cities and towns
connected by Telephone with Louisville,
Kentucky.
Mr.. W. H. BoFF1NaER, General Man
ager of the Louisiana Telephone Com
pany, of New Orleans, was i'll the city on
Saturday. .y.
The telephone wires were kept hot
on Friday and Saturday. There must
have been seven or eight hundred calls
at the Exchange on Saturday. ~
The Natchez Democrat says that
the Telephone is convenience that is
known and appreciated only by those
who have used it," Correct, pass on
the inside.
An instrument, No. 90, has been
placed in operation at the Phoenix Drug
Store, aside from the Exchange, for the
accommodation of those who desire to
communicate with subscribers. 1t is
quite convenience and prevents much
hindrance and delay in operating the
Exchange.
A company Of Eastern Capitalists
have purchased the Pittsburgh Tele-
phone Exchange and its privileges and
franchises, and paid $64O, 900 for them.
They can have ours for 100000, pro.
vided all present subscribers shall be
considered charter members, and have
perpetual free rental. If they do not
accept this proposition we shall think
they made bad trade at Pittsburg.
There are some people who are so
ouerily constituted as to complain at
having to wait minute or two to be
placed in connection with the other fell
low. Now, of our own positive knowl-
edge, Master Julian Jamison, operator
at the exchange, is as prompt and atten-
tive as one can be, and takes as much
interest in "setting the pegs" as is ex-
perienced by those who do the talking.
However, the proper allowance should
always be made, for it takes all kinds OF
people to make world, and some OF
them would actually grumble if they
had to lick all the postage stamps in
America.
You can now order barrel OF flour
or jar OF pickles by telephone from 3.
G. Sims, Esq, or j. P. Benson Il Co..
or drugs and patent medicines from the
Phenix Drug Store or from Messrs.
Shell Il Tindall; or 500 extra copies of
the Examiner, cash in advance; or fine
turn out from Mr.. j. W. Towards Liv'
cry Stable; or mounted Deputy from
the Sheriff's Office; or will proba,ed at
the Chancery Clerks Office; Or request
fine to be RENTED at the Mayors
Office by paying all the costs; or an en-
tertainment in the way of delightful
music from several of the finest lady
musicians in the world who are in pos
session Of transmitters; or request
Messrs. Houston & Reynolds, Sykes q
Brstow, Davis, Mcfarland & Paine OF
@. o. Eckford, Esq, Attorneys, to put
you through the Circuit and Supreme
Courts for the sake of the experience
that your case will afford them before
those tribunals; in short, you can at
tend to nearly every kind OF business
without leaving your room.
The dry goods store Of Messrs
Stern Bros. was placed in connection
with the telephone exchange Oh
Tuesday. Call up No. 81, and thu
response will come from that house
Mr.. W. H. Boflinger, Genera
Manager of the Louisiana Telephone
: Company, while in the city last week
appointed our young friend, MIR. D
p. Terry, Superintendent and Man
ager of the Aberdeen Exchange, t,
fill the vacancy occasioned by th
, retirement of Mr.. j. g. Carter from
the service of the company. Will
yet in his teens, Mr. Terry has ex
} hibited excellent qualifications TO
, the duties that the position will i'm
pose upon him, and being brimful 0
vim and energy will serve the com
, pany and subscribers with satisfac
ton.
IT is only question of time whe
: telephone communication will b
established between this city an
Cotton Gin, Smithville, Quincy, an
; other towns and villages in Monro
county, and the sooner the bushes
men of those points appreciate th
fact and act accordingly, the NOR
. benefit and profit will they secure
Col H. B. Gillespie, of Cotton Cir
Messrs. H. C.Terrell & Co,of Quinc
+ and Messrs. Dalrymple & Go, S. {
Parham, and others, of Smithvill'
, purchase quite considerable quaint
q ties Of cotton and carry large stock
y of merchandise, and are withou
/ communication with the ruin
8 markets except by weekly or semi
weekly mails, while a telephone lin
. would enable them to keep thorough
ly posted every hour of the day. W
suggest that they investigate th
7 subject and try the experiment.
