Telephone We have the largest
Service contract IN the re-
tail trade of this
city with the New York Telephone
Company. This has compelled the
exclusive use of numerous trunk
lines OF wire Nevertheless, we
have been frequently informed bv
our correspondents that the call
for our number very often brings
back an answer ''busy" The tele
phone company states that their
tally indicates very often some
hundreds of unanswered calls for
our number per hour. The alleged
cause is insufficient service To
mend this state of affairs we have
added eight trunk lines to our
previous service, and this should
be ample for everybody.
Our telephone address is now
John Wanamaker, 5000 - 18th
Street.
1t is q curious fact that some
correspondents never fail to get a
prompt response, while for Others
our wires are always ''busy"
Information as to Individual ex-
perience will be welcome.
Leisure Hours Some older
in Town people Iso kooFe recall
the Country Parson (Dr. Boyd), and
among them the title above quoted.
1t filed to a degree the role OF the
Spectator in the 90 Outlook"
History repeats itself. The RAM
bier at Wanamaker's is much in
terested to notice the number OF
Country Parsons and others that
find frequent enjoyment for leisure
hours in town in wandering about
the "great store. - Indeed. the
daily audience of distinguished
people that are attracted by the
human interest of the place is quite
remarkable. If so many, why not
more?
Mason & Hdmlin The store
135 Fifth
Avenue, so long occupied for the
sale OF the Pianos and Organs
made by the Mason & Hanlin Com
pany, has been closed, and the
stock transferred to our store at
Broadway and Tenth street.
Mason & Hamlin organs are his
toric, their pianos unique. The
latter find the favor of ewes, ears
and fingers of many pianists OF in
ternational reputation In tone
quality the Mason & Hamlin pianos
have an individuality that is dis
tinct and not shared by any other.
Musicians and music-lovers should
become familiar with them as yalu-
able musical knowledge.

spread ruin, but it is of this part of our
grand old state that would tell you.
We Rankin the be st county, and
this is the Star of Mi ssissippi.

was named by EXC overnor McLaurin,
and is eighteen mil es south of Jackson
and one hundred nd forty-two north

mere said that the freights received
here are more. than twice as mnch last
year This line has the Southern
Express &c ,mpany.
The + aundation of the first store
was laif in January, 1900, now there

good school taught by competent
tee cheers. Soon there will be two
h andsome churches erected. There
ere two hotels here the dwellings are
as yet scattered as in all new towns.
The Sunday school is largely attended
by older people as we'll as the chill
dren.
The soil is stiff sandy loan and
it is hilly here. The country around
here is watered mostly by bold springs
of cold, pure sparkling water. There
are two large Ra 4lroad tanks south OF
town. l do not know their elevation,
but their water supply is afforded by
a spring that flows from hillside
and is conveyed down to the tanks by
four inch piping.
Although this is not really the
piney woods, there are some OF the
largest and tallest pines ! ever saw.
AS sit writing / can see one ten
feet in circum ference and the tops of
many fine poplars; in fact any kind
of hard wood that is used in any kind
of factory, The capitalist is here
already, and land and timber is rising
every day. The location is ideal and
of its possibility no one can say.
There are people here from every
wnere. They are the kindest. friend
Hest and most accommodating people
that ever met.
Last Sunday afternoon was one of
party Of eighteen that visited a rock
cave near here. The largest cave
is twenty feet long by eighteen
wide and it's walls are almost covered
by the names and dates of persons who
have at different times have visited
this cave. The Oldest that any of Us
could read was B. B. Harris, 1911.
