Telephone company left on Friday
for Paris, Texas. While here, he
had placed in position another long
distance receiver on the board and
now it will require three long dis
lance operators to attend to the
business. This will make nine oper-
ators on the day watch, and about
six on at night until 8 o'clock when
two or three can attend to the
business the balance of the night.
Mr.. Brown the local manager tells
us the business is increasing daily
that his daily receipts for long dis
lance business astonishes the own
ers Of the plant when he turns in
his report. The telephone has come
to stay, and will in time be i'm
proved and the service cheapened
until almost any one can have a
wire in the most humble home to do
his talking to his neighbor.

Those residents Of the city who have
taken up photography nave learned one
thing which they probably never dream
cd of before; that Savannah is one of the
richest OF cities in subjects for photo
graphic art. 1t is literally filled with pref
" bits Of landscape, DAD hooks and cor

the photographer And then in the su-
burbs-at Thunderbolt, the Hermitage,
Bonaventure, White Bluff, Isle of Hope,
etc, and on the roads leading to those
places-the possibilities for pretty pic
ture making are almost unlimited.
There is one feature in connection with
all of this amateur photography which,
while not SO intended, has real value
to Savannah. 1t is in advertising the city.
Most OF the picture ma Aers have friends
in other cities and states. They wish
those friends to see what good pictures
they can make and what a pretty city
they live in, therefore a lot of pho tographs
are sent them. There are a number of
periodicals published in the interest of
amateur Photography. Pictures of Savan-
nah scenes are published in these and
thus secure wide circulation. Persons
who have heard of Savannah but have
never visited it. seeing these pictures are
charmed, and form determination 70 see
Savannah for themselves. There isn't any
doubt that many tourists have included
this city in their itinerary, drawn here
by the views taken by enthusiastic and
ambitious amateurs.
