Telephone Line Reaching Out.

As there is increased activity
along all other lines, the. NJ. & S
Telephone Co. will not be behind,
and is extending its line in all dl-
rections.
Work is now III progress on q
line from Hightown across the Al
leghany to Durbin, Mr.. Jacob W,
Hevener has the contract for part
of the work on this line.
The double line from Monterey
to Mcdowell is being pushed as
fast as the weather will admit. DR.
|. q. Trimble is giving this work
his personal attention.
The line from Mcdowell down
the Bullpasture to Williamsyille,
and finally to Millboro is in course
of construction, and in a short while
WilIiamsyille people will have the
pleasure of saying "helo". Mr.. E,
q. McClintic is personally interest
ed in this branch, and it IS through
his and DR.. Suddarth's efforts that
it has been secured.
There is but little doubt that
work will soon commence on line
from Monterey, by way of Wander
pool and Jacksons river, to Warm
Springs. and when all are complet-
ed the NJ, & S. telephone system
will be one Of considerable import
ance, and Monterey quite a tele-
phone center.

: A C Suddarth has moved into
his new studio, and it is worth a
trip up there to see just how nicely
he is fixed. His gallery, as lights
and shades, is scientifically arrang-
cd, and for that reason he is pre-
pared to do finer work than he has
ever turned out, as his samples will
show. No town in the state can
boast Of il better gallery.

Durbin W Va has the reputation
of being slow to act in matters Of
law, but the case of two young
men who skipped some sort of a

just sometimes slow. Two men on

Monday morning they took up the

They had bagged their game,
