Employees of the telegraph company
have been at work during the past week
taking down the line which runs from
the Hill to South Paris. The wire they
reeled up, and the poles which were
good las most of them were) were taken
to the station and shipped elsewhere.
This line was built about twenty years
ago, by the people of Paris Hill, by
popular subscription, and turned over
to the Great Northwestern Telegraph
Co. Miss JEANNE Hubbard was the
telegraph operator most OF the time
while an office was maintained here.
Since her departure there has been no
one here to take the office and the line
has been unused. With the New Eng
land and Eastern Telephone Companies
both having stations here connecting
directly with telegraph offices, there is
no real necessity for telegraph line,
and the company prefers to take up the
line rather than make any repairs. The
removal of one line of poles and wires
improves the appearance of the high
ways.
