was started solely with the idea of bringing
in county news tor his paper. hut it has grown
aud developed rapidly that the editor aud
his partner find themselves the owners oi a
valuable and extensive rural telephone system
lIc finds that there is not the slightest collision
between the telephone and the newspaper bu,.

operators know how to set type. and with this
Interchangeable staff everything works smoothly.
Moreover, every telephone subscriber is reader
OF the paper.

simple system Of telephone communication has
been in operation for several years past, and
