Telephone Extension.

The telephone company states that
preparations are being made for the
extension of their line to Lowell and
Beverly. Such an extension will be a
valuable and, we believe, profitable en-

would be continuous throughout the
Muskingum Valley.

That there is at least one

the two youngest inmates; a
quarrel, like most childish
differences, soon over, but
fierce while it lasted.
When his wrath had reach.

anger, sought for language
to denounce his sister, who

Low Prices in the West.

Writing from Des Moines,
Iowa, TO the Atlanta Jour
nal, Sam Jones says:
agricultural products of
all kinds are marvelOusly
cheap. Some of the farmers
have thousands of bushels of
corn, which they have held
cribbed for two years, and
the market to-day is about
l3 to Is cents per bushel.
Their oat graneries are full
and are selling at about ten
cents. Their meadows yield
the finest Timothy hay. 1t
stands in the field almost as
high as a mans S head, = to ~
tons per acre, and retaiIs on
the streets of Des Moines at
25 cents a hundred."
Sam is a golu,bug. He will
learn if he keeps his eyes open
in the West that the farmers
are getting tired of a policy
that beats down the price OF
all they have to sell.
