TELEPHONE NOTES.
Monroe and Trenton, Louisiar

more than ever appreciate the tele-
phone.
The State Senate Of New York
has recently passed bill requiring
all telephone wires in Brooklyn and
New York to be run underground.
They may have all the elevated"
privileges necessary in Aberdeen, and
nothing will ever be said about re-
quiring connections to be made by
means of underground wires.

EDITORS EXAMINER
Private parties here are thinking of
establishing telephone exchange.
Can you put me in communication
with the proper parties with whom to
correspond in reference to rights,
cost Of instruments, etc?
Yours, w. b. LEEDY.
We refer our correspondent to Mr.
D. P. Terry, Superintendent Of the
Aberdeen exchange, or to w, H..
Bofinger, Esq, President of the
Louisiana Telephone Company, New
Orleans, either of whom will take
pleasure in giving any information
on the subject.

telephoned him the other day that she
wished she could skim along the vine
like sound and 60 to him. His reply
was an earnest one--''l wish to God
you could"-Paris North Team.
An old darky at Aberdeen threat
ems to sue the Telephone Company
for interfering with his business.
Before the telephone came he carried
all the notes of the town. Now mes
sages, tender and otherwise, are trans
mitted by telephone, hence the old
mans complaints.-Jachson STATE

The Aberdeen, Miss, Examiner
says: "Paris, Tex, has 70 telephone
subscribers. Paris, France, has D.
1892. The returns are not in from
Paris, Tennessee, and the other little
Parises." Songs Of Solomon ! The
idea of chasing our city with other
little Parises.-Pais North Texan.
THE TELEPHONE EXCHANGE.
Mr.. Edward Leloup, Manager of
the Telephone Exchange, obtained
from the Police Board, at the last
meeting Of that body, the right to
erect telephone poles varying from
forty to fifty feet in height, on the
streets of Mobile. This grant was
asked for by Mr.. Leloup in order that
the present Telephone Exchange sys-
tenn may by furthur perfected. At
present many Of the wires run over
housetops, and some are attached to
telegraph poles. This arrangement
makes it very difficult to locate the
breaks. When Mr.. Leloup's present
scheme is completed, it will be per
fectly easy to keep the entire line in
working order.
The Exchange is now in more
1ourishing condition than it has ever
been previous to this time. 1t has ll9
subscribers,and if a message traverses
every wire going into the central sta
ton, it will have travelled 80 miles
The average number Of calls during
the day is over thousand,-NoJjIe
Register.
SHE RANG HIM OFF.
A young lady who is a particular
friend Of our popular Deputy Circuit
Clerk and his family, rang up the tel.
ephono to inquire about the baby, a
very great favorito with her. 1t hap
pened, however, that Ike was not il
the Office, but the Deputy Chancery
Clerk, VIM. Foster, a very bashfuI
young bachelor, Glanced to be in the
Circuit Clerks room, and answered
the call.
"Who is it ?" said he through the
telephone.
dts me-" came a soft voice ;"don't
you recognize my voice"
81 can't say that do"
"Matilda; Matilda Jones, then"
Foster didn't know who Matilda
shut he thought it would never dc
to tell her so, as it might hurt hel
feelings, and then he was too timiC
to plead further ignorance Of the
owner of the sweet voice at the Other
end of the wire.
"Well," said he, after pause
"what is it, Miss Matilda ?"
ooh nothing just wanted to ask
you how was your baby :"
"Thunder and lightning !" he ex
claimed, 81 did not know had any
when did it happen"-and then ht
blushed and was about to stamme
out something else, but Miss Matilda
had rang off the exchange ickS-
