1.-THE Pooler friends Of Frank Il. Furguson,
assistant superintendent of the public

well as pleased, at his having secured such

lighted at the rapid progress he has made

mail train. There are from eighty-five to
ninety Pooler passengers every morning for
the early train.
Manager Polk Of the telephone exchange
Is taking an interest in the Pooler telephone
and there is no doubt but the town will soon
have telephone. The plan which it is
thought will be adopted Is to put the tele-
phone in the waiting room at the station,
Enclosed In locked case, each subscriber
being furnished with key. When it is
desired key holder can unlock the case.
and when through can lock the case up
again. Once the system is adopted it will
surprise the folks to know how they existed
so long without such a convenience. The
cost to subscribe will be made as cheap as
IL Is possible, 80 as to get as many custom
ers as the company can.
The Methodists are having a very neat
railing placed round the altar In their
have the building ceiled inside. This work
completed, will make the church one of the
hnest in this section. The society of Chris
tian Endeavor, although only two months
old, rs doing good work, and as II has taken
the matter in hand, Poolerites expect to see
the work of ceiling the church overhead
commenced very soon. President Weber is
gradually turning the talents Of the young
Eudeavorers to good account, and expects
shortly to add the attraction of a good and
well~trained choir to the many other inter-
esting features OF the Young Peoples So
ciety OF Christian Endeavor meetings.
