Greene County Will be We'll Repre- sented-About Fifty Left
 Last Night.

The old soldiers are leaded for Dallas and that thriving city of the Lone Star State will be captured by him tomorrow and he will be in the hey-dey of his glory.
 The news comes from every where that the armies are moving on to Dallas and the crowd of visitors will be larger than was first anticipated.
 A Memphis special says that it is estimated that five thousand people passed through there yesterday. Special trains were made up at Full ton, Ky, Jackson, Tenn, and other southern cities. N. B. Forrest Camp, of Memphis chartered it's own special.
 The scene at the Union station in Paragould last night was sight to behold. About fifty people took the train for Dallas and perhaps four times as many were there Io see them off.
 The Soliphone made an effort to get the names of all, but could not do so. Those whose names were procured were: Henry Lancaster, Henry Verhines, Jeff Darnall, R. E. l.. Johnson, Asa Riggs, R. H. Doug las, $. s. Furgerson, Dee McHaney, Ait. Moss, John Moss, P. W. Moss, W.sH. Scott, w. H. Holleman, Tom Mcbride. J. B. Cook, M. c. Granting, B.H. Crowley, R. Nance, l.. c. Thompson, W. H. Jones. Mrs. Bettie Luna and children, Mrs. s. M. Mutt and children, J. D. Mitchell, A. Marlborough, W. D. Pratt, o. P. McDaniel, T. c. Coleman, D. Hous- ton, Mrs. Irwin Smith, Mrs. D. s.

Herrin and daguhter Miss Lenora.
 A special coach was set out on the side track for the Paragould crowd, but py the time all were aboard the coach was crowded and some sought seats in other coaches.
 Quite number left Saturday night in order to get on the grounds early or to stop on the way and visit friends.
 Altogether we suppose that Greene county will have about a representatives at the re union.

sided over by Hon. Francis D. Winston,
Judge of the Second Judicial District. In
every way he proved himself a model

the public. He is learned in the law,
courteous and prompt as a presiding Of
fcer, quick to rule and to rule rightly,
fair and impartial, dignlfiCd without

THE BEST THING IN ALL THIS
WORLD"

4 DISTINGUISHED New York preacher
recently filled an engagement to lecture
on The Best Thing in All This World
Preliminary to the lecture he asked TINS
question:: What is the best thing?
and a little boy replied, Money
Everybody laughed. the lecturer smiled
audibly and we are told hat 1.-The score
Of c~lergynen on the platform were obliged
to join in the merriment.'
Nc man should under-e estimate the i'm
portance or value of money, its power
to bring comforts, blessings and diver
sion, not to speak of the greater good OF
doing much to relieve suffering and dis
trcss. Money is a mighty agency in this
world, but he is a very common and
vulgar man who would call it The best
thing in all this world" And yet-men
and brethren-how did that little boy
come to believe so strongly that it is 1.-The
best thing in all this world that he
was quick to declare it in the
public assembly? Is it not true that in
many oIIC III hoto 4,
absent as well as where it is abundant
boys and girls are taught by the ex-
ample of their parents to believe money
the best thing in all this world?" Do
that they must get money if they would
have influence, power, comforts, luxuries?
In too many homes the topic of CONVEX
sation is money, and the common ex-
preston is, Money will do anything"
Is it surprising that a boy reared in such
an atmosphere should respond money"
when asked what is 'the best thing in
tho world?'' He is merely saying in words
what too many parents say in their every
action, and what he is taught in ten
thousand ways in his boyhood. The boy
learns the truth as to his fathers aims
and purposes more from his actions than
from his prccepts, and in nine cases out
of ten he will bettcr understand the true
motive power Of his fathers life than the
fathers friends and business associates.
The quick answer of the boy to the
lecturers question ought to cause all
parents to examine themselves to see
whether in their life or conversation, or
both, they are teaching the same lesson
to their children. 1t is a sordid lesson
that will restrain every noble sentiment,
check every generous impulse and canker
the highest ambitions. The disappoint-
mcrts and the realities of life will too
soon tend to check the lofty ideals and
holy ambitions of aspiring youth. But
to start them out in their teens with the
belief that money is 1.-The best thing in
all this world is to doom them to a
low, narrow and sordid life. in which
they can dream no dreams, see no visions,
or see the light that illumines life and
girds every son of man, upon whom it
shines, with endurance in the hour of
conflict.

this with a town exchange or with some
other neighborhood exchange which has
connection with the town e~xchange-any-
way to get there the cheapest for good
service.
eThe cost of establishing the telephone
system In the country varies with condi-
lions. but under no conditions have we
ever known a farmer in this county
(Union) after having had the use of a
phone in his house to entertain for a
moment any idea Of abandoning it's use
on account of the expense, and even many
renters, who do not own the land they
cultivate, have phones in their houses
and can talk to persons in any part Of
the county or neighboring counties.
The first thing needed to establish a
neighborhood exchange is to get a
switchboard and locate where all who
are interested can reach it with the
least amount of wire. A switchboard Of
from 10 to % drops costs from $65 to
800, according to style and make. Each
line connected with the board uses one
drop, or number, but several phones can
be operated on one line and if the
bridging phones are used a half dozen
phones can be successfully used on a
line. Party lines are, however, more
satisfactory il limited to three phones.
The cost of running a telephone line, out
side Of the poles, is about $3.50. This
includes cost of No. IL wire, insulators
and brackets or pins. Either cedar or
oak poles can be used and farmers can
get these with their own labor. They
should be placed two and a half or three
feet in the ground, about so yards apart
and along a road, or across fields, any
MO W 70 rot 70 ~ IT, @-A
and quickest way. Good telephones cost
about $40. Add this to the cost of line
per mile and you have an m of
what it will cost to establish the service.
In this county, instead of forming neigh
bOrhood companies, some farmer in a
neighborhood buys a switchboard, con-
meets it with the town and then allows
his ~neighbors to build lines to it and
gives them connection at $1.00 per month
for each line. So if three farmers go
in together and build a line they get the
service at 33 1-3 cents each per month.
The owner of the board furnishes the
operator to give connection and any
bright child can attend to a neighbour
hood exchange.
You can do no better than to urge
upon farmers the Importance of establish
ing the rural telephone system. The
telephone is an invention that is destined
to revolutionize things in favor of farm
life, rendering it less isolated and plac-
ing it in touch with the busy world. 1t
saves time and money, affords social
pleasure and protection for the family.
1t protects them from a delayed visit
from the doctor in cases of emergency
and it protects, Or will to an extent pro-
tect them from criminals. No san man
will commit a heinous crime in a section
or county where there is a W. of
wires all over the country, making it
almost impossible to escape without be-
ing apprehended."

THE VALUE OF

Reference has already been made in
introduced the telephone in nearly all
the country districts and how certain por-
lions of Wake county enjoy the advan-
tafes of telephone communication. Mr.. j.
Z. Green, of Union county, writing to the
Progressive Farmer, gives some informa-
ton about the cost and value of rural
telephones that ought to stimulate prog
ressive men TO extend the telephone sys-
tenn into every neighborhood in the State.
We quote from Mr.. Green:
Until a few years ago one concern
had Il patent on the telephone and no
one could secure this convenience, even
in towns and cities, except at an enor-
nous cost in the way of rents. But since
the time of the patent has expired, tele-
phone factories nave sprung up rapidly
all over the country, and yet some fac
tories can not supply the demand for
phones and are frequently several weeks
behind with their orders. Now, instead
Of one concern owning the telephone
system, there are independent companies
in almost every town. The principal
towns and cities of this State are CON
nectcd by phone, and all that is neces-
Sary for farmers to be connected and on
.~speaking terms with the outside world
SO to speak, is to have a line connected
with a town or city exchange direct or
if the distance is over three or four
miles, form a neighborhood telephone
company, put in a switchboard, connect

court OF Appeals, whose word will have
more than ordinary weight with those
Judges who are yet to pass upon IT. Inc
existing status OF the case warrants the
presumption that an effort TO tax, with
some degree of justice. the great pup
Hc-service corporations OF New YORK
has not been in vain. The Importance
TO the New York public Of ultimate sue
cess in this matter can hardly be exag-
gcrated. for it is by taxation on the one
hand and by the character OF the service
and the rates OF fares on the other that
such enterprises are to be held to their
obligations to the people. SO far as taxes
are concerned. it cannot be asserted Dy
disinterested citizens of New York that
TOO much has been demanded Of their
CORPORATIONS. while in service and fares
the metropolitan population still has
some reason for asking further considera-
ton"
