LEXINGTON. TELEPHONE GO.

The Lexington Telephone company has
lately worked over its entire system and
they are now able to give splendid con-
nection all over the city and with a num-
Der of other towns of the county. Before
the telephone exchange was established
here it was was impossible for the citi-
zens of Lexington to realize what a great
convenience 1t was. Now if we should
be deprived of it's us use we would con-
sider the many Inconvenience and delays
we would be forced to put up with as gen.
uine hardships ana would realize the
g-eat value, not only as saving us much
trouble but as saving US a great deal of
time, and, according to the old saying,
time is money.
The company have put in a number of
long distant telephones and we have con-
nection with other towns of the comfy
and are bile to call up in a few minutes
any citizen of these towns, and carry on a
conversation with him. The company
now have connection with Higginsville,
Odessa, MAYHEM and Dover. They also
have a line to Dover depot, which is q
mile or two north of that town, and an
other to the Dover coal mines. Then they

at Mr.. John Slusher's another to Mr.. Lee
Slusher's farm, and before the fall months
are past they will give us connection by
telephone with Wellington. Their lines
cover q good part OF the country and an
event of any Importance happening In
one locality Is Don known at the other
stations.
Most all OF the business houses in Lex
ington and a number of the residences
have in phones at present., the total num-
Der in use here being 1913. The merchant
finds them not only a great convenience
to him but that 1t is also a great conven
fence to his customers. The phone costs
the merchant ten cents a day, about a,
much as he would pay a messenger FOL
carrying one message. Tho phones a
the residences cost only five cents q day
and a family soon finds that its valu'
reaches considerably above that amount
In case OF fire the telephone is called int
instant use and the fire company will b.
upon the scene In the same time 1t woul,
nave taken the messenger to reach thei
headquarters. In case OF sudden sickness
the doctor is summoned instantly and tn
patients chances for recovery are thereb.
increased.
The telephone syetem here is under tn
management OF Mr.. j. A. Rinehart. MI
Rinehart thoroughly understands his bus
mess, having worked for several year
with the Bell telephone Company at 81
Louis. He is an able representative @
the company's interests here and ha
given satisfaction to both his employer
and their patrons. The system is in goo
order and the citizens appreciate tn
efforts Messrs. Moore and Kennon haS
made to give Lexington of the best tele
phone exchanges in the state.
