TO learn that its worthlcssness had been so
promptly recognized by the superintendent,
but We were not prepared 10 learn as We
have direct from Superintendent Miller, that
the company did not want an exchange al
this place. We have, however, been 50 in
formed by Mr.. Miller and unless he changes
his mind, which, from what all of his sub
scrbers know of him, be will not be expect
ed to do, the Mechanicstown exchange will
not be renewed.
Without a trunk wire connecting this
with other exchanges, even perfect work
ing switch board here would not give us the
private service desirable and with the old
and inferior switchboard the service was in
ferior to the present arrangement, whereby
we are enabled to talk tono one, without
our conversation being audible 10 seven 9th

equally d yidcd between the two exchanges,

best that can be done for US, but we regret
to see the budding promise off fair support

sphere. We are not without hope, however,
for while there are many reasons now, why
the eight subscribers within a mile of THE
CLARION OFFICE cannot expect better ser

on wire 231, save as to privacy and oppor-

weather excepted, and the Emmitsburg OK
change could not be more prompt or cour-

If a suggestion be in place here, it would
be this that the Superintendent do Change

immediate locality the benefit Of at least six
private wires to "number one" switch

there will be good grounds upon which to
