My little girl,
And while the red
And gold flames curl
with pretty sparks
Far up the flue,
I'll stroke your locks
And talk to you.
The mothers eyes
Were just like yours
Blue as the waves
On Naples shores;
Her hair was brown,
Like yours, too, dear
And rippled DER
AS pink an ear.
She used to sit
Beside me here,
When nights were harsh
And woods were sere-
All! she was fair,
Dear, very fair,
With freight upon her hair!
The black midnight
Would find us still
Before the blaze,
And here until
The crumbling sticks
Had spread in two,
We'd sit, my child,
And talk of you.

Telephone Connections in Rising Sun

RISING SUN, Md, December 10Th, 1898.
Mr.. EDITOR Some time between ten and
twenty years ago a few of us organized Tele.
phone Company in Cecil county for the purpose
of having the advantage that such an institution
gives to any neighborhood. We were not in ad.
vance ofthe public needs in that direction but we
were in advance of the education of public SEN
| timent, however. We did not then receive public
encouragement and patronage sufficient to pay
expenses, and the system could not be kept up
1t was a great accommodation while it lasted If
we wished to know anything Immediately at the
County Seat it could be found out in a few min
utes. Instead of a proper appreciation of that,
however, people now spend whole day of time
and about 81 90 in outlaid money for the same
single privilege. For many years we have not
enjoyed any communication with the outside
world whatever and instead of being ahead of
our neighbors we are back in the rear again. All
around us small towns and neighborhoods are
connected by telephone
The matter now comes to us in different shape
am in receipt of letter from l. w. Speakman
Manager of the Delaware & Atlantic Telephone
Co., which is coming in this direction through
Chester Co., Pa. He writes that they wish to
open an office in this town in the month of Jan
uary, providing the people of this section will
give them their patronage sufficient to justify,
and that he will be here at very early day to
look the matter over. Their line connects with
the long distance service.
My purpose in writing is to ask the business
people OF this section, and all others who can use
a telephone, or where two or three can combine
and own one phone, to give the matter their
favorable consideration, We must bear in mind
that we can not have these accommodations for
nothing, and if anyone thinks their business will
not warrant the outlay they must not forget that
these Improvements increase business. Less than
a hundred years ago no one thought they could
afford carriage but who thinks so now? Less
than fifty years ago we had no railroad in this
now? If two or three phones are taken here and
the neighbors and friends of those who take them
are allowed to use them without paying for the
same, then at once you may consider that the
whole project is "nipped in the bud," and "the
goose" will be killed that lays the golden egg"
What the people should do is to encourage this
enterprise, and before very long system will be
perfected so that miles of travel can be curtailed
correspondence eliminated. and days of time be
shortened in scores of instances during the year.
1t Will make business go more promptly increase
hour what oft times can not be done inside of
week. and the whole cost be money well expend- |
ed. hope you will urge this modern emblem of
civilization upon the favorable consideration of
the people. Where now installed they are
Indispensable.
