 The teIephonic advantages given to the patrons of the Stafford Springs ex- change are very great as compared with other places of much larger size. The managers strive in every way to oblige people here, apd to deserve their good will, but naturally fsek diaapp ppuinted that there IS mot greater growth of patronage.
