RURAL TELEPHONES.

In WrltiuB Oh tuI1 ouUJoOs VIII
give you q brief description ofour
plan of operating rural telephones
in this country. First, ten or a.
dozen farmers get together and
build q line, say from Francisco to
Oakland City, which is six miles,
but in going of the road to get
the farmers that wish to 60 on the
line, it will probably be ten miles
of single wire. 160 pounds No. IL
wire in q mile, % poles per mile,
30 brackets and insulators, good
phones, $3.50. I cannot give
prices on all, as prices are higher
now than two years ago. This
line all ready for operation cost
about $40 per share. This is about
the average cost of q line, owing
to the length and the number on
q line. A ten-phone system is
better than twelve. It is not best
to have too many on line.
There is not a town or postof-
fee in Gibson county but has from
one to thirty lines running into
them. At least rs per cent of the
farmers have phones. Every town
and some farm houses have switch
boards in them where there il
more than one line. There is
something like twelve or fifteen
exchanges of this kind in the
county. They are often maintain
ed by the operator who receives
one dollar from each member on
the lines running into their ex-
change per year, and if they give
extra good service they usually
get nice Xmas present made up
by the members on the different
lines.
Posey county, south of Us, has
almost as extensive q system a
Gibson. It is going eastward into
Pike and Warrick. The svstemi
we use are the series and oridged

Next Monday will be the regu-
lar meeting day of the Police Ju-
~, and on that day the new po-
lice jury will hold its fret meet
ing. and we presume this meeting
will be very interesting, as the
first thing to be done will be the
selection of the officers. We ex-
pect to see q good deal of pulling
and some extraordinary combine
tions. Two new members have
been appointed by the Governor,
one for the Fourth ward, the 9th
or for the Fifth. This would give
the Democrats five members out
of the eight jurors, but it is ru-
mored that one of the Democratic
members has jumped the coop. II
the report lie correct, and We will
know it very soon, the jury will
stand four TO four, and Q dead loci
will probably be the result. This
state of affair will amuse the spec
tators, disappoint the politicians
and jeopsrdize the affairs of th'
parish. But We trust that thu
wild rumors will prove unfounded
and that the doubtful member vii
stick to his Democratic friends.
