The Leon Telephone Co. has complet-
ed their frst rural line and named it
Rural Line Northeast. 1t extends
about six miles northeast and the fol-
lowing enterprising farmers in that
section have placed phones in their
residences: John T. Caster, Frank Good
son, Frank CARRIER, Elmer Brown and
VIM. Fields. This line runs diagonal
from the main long distance lines SO
that it can in no manner interfere with
them. Another feature which will be
appreciated by the patrons of the Leon
exchange is that they will be permitted
to talk to any Of the farmers on the rural
line without any toll charges. It is the
intention of the Leon Telephone Co. to
extend rural lines in all directions the

To run a paper without occasionally
publishing an item that is detrimental
to some persons, is like running rail-
road without having any accidents or
mishaps. To do either is physical
impossibility. No man on earth is to
so great an extent constantly at the
mercy Of both friends and enemies
as the editor OF. a newspaper. He must
get much of the information concerning
transporting events second or third
handed or not at all. Frequently state
ments are received from supposedly
trustworthy sources which are subse-
quently found to be without foundation.
Not one editor in thousand wilfully

TO THE GIRL GRADUATE OF 1900.

Hello!
Girl Graduate,
You sweet thing, you!
With your head brlmful of dictionary
talk
And "isms" and "ologies" and things,
And your cap and gown,
You are the latest, greatest, up-to-datest
Girl
OF all the garden with girls rosebudded!
The brook and river ebb
About your shy, reluctant tootsies,
But your boots are wide and waterproof
And your skirt plaid and reversible
Just ankle length
For you've learned a store of knowledge
not in books,
Just good, old common sense.
You meet the world
Cleared-eyed and strong and sweet
Above all, womanly;
Not the wasp WASTED, lack -daisical,
lap-dog petting girl
OF times gone by.
Gladstone and happy souled,
Seeking no voice or vote in puddled
politics
Nor bifurcated rights in rostrum's glare
No, in the century's new dawn you stand
rose crowned.
\ golf stick for a scepter and your
throne
A rock, three-canopied,
Your page a caddie, and your king
All, we'll,
You've yet to choose.
Let him be manful, brave
And tender of the flower your girls
heart is
To keep it safe
star TO light home!
Through the summertime
You'll frivol much
And get engaged no doubt,
One or two times
To summer boys by sea anG- shore
And they will tell you fairy tales
About your being the only girl they ever
loved,
And things like that
But heed them not,
These gay-hat- banded ones.
Keep the Ideal Man
In sight,
