citation, she Will in nearly every Instance be-
come an efficient operator.
Girls with common-school education0 arc
found to be Just as efficient as girls With
Board. girls with High-School EDUCATION
are about the only ones who are employed.
We are more particular In employing
operators than the people would think"
pany yesterday. We do not care to EN-
ploy girls who are inclined to be frivolous:
They must be ladies in every respect. and
whenever We discover that mistake has
been made We quickly make a change.
Girls who board, or girls who have CIV
en- up positions paying them twice as much
as we would, are not as desirable as girls
who live at home. because II Is Ssrd
matter for them to live and clothe them
selves on $40 month. and usually they soon
become tired Of it and look for place pay
ing more money.
Then the city girl who lives at home Is
preferable to the girl from the country.
Telephones are working twenty-fouf hours
in every day. and we have found that the
country girl is often called homo on account
of sickness of some member of the family,
and is. therefore, not as reliable as oper-
ators should be- for in many instances
where a girl might be called away we might
be compelled to replace her with an mex
perenced operator.
I'VE have a large number OF applicants.
but they come in all sizes and ages. snd
only about 25 per cent OF them are accepted
1t is not as easy to be q telephone operator
as some girls might think. but II they have
the qualifications they do not sind 1t very
difficult proposition.
Many girls who have the requirements do
not care to apply for a position because
they fear to face the Examining Board.
when. really, the examination Is ly no
means strenuous We need many girls.
and. while II is a difficult matter to In
struct them all. We are willing to do this in
order tc get the proper operators"

Hello Girls are at a premium. That is.
there are not as many of them as the teie-

There are girls in abundance, tall girls.

girls, and fat girls, but II is quite a task
TO select from this variety the girls with

To be a telephone operator 1t requires
more than looking pretty, which doesn't
count over the wires. Neither can d girl be
a success as an operator who has several

Special Correspondence to the Times
KENToN, March 17:-The beautiful
weather last week put many of our
people in notion to begin work in
their gardens buo some thought the
land not in a proper condition. Mr..
James F. Purse, however, having a
nice dry spot, is we'll under way hav-
ing planted his peas and some other
kinds of seed. Mr.. Purse is an up to
date hOrticulturist.
The box social held at the school
house by the teachers on last Friday
evening was a splendid success both
socially and financially. Every body
seemed to enjoy themselves, and
something over $12 was cleared This
was more than was owed on the organ,
and the balance will be applied toward
purchasing singing books for use in
the school.
Too much cannot be said in cOmmen-
dation of our teachers for the earnest
efforts which they put forth for i'm
prOvements in our public school.
Mr. f. T. Purse the assistant oper-
atOr at the depot, has been doing some
civil engineering on the company's
property near the depot. This is a
decided Improvement as we are now able
by the use of the bridge which spans
the once bothersome drain to reach the
depot dry shod.
Mr.. g. Garrison is having his house
on his home property painted, Mr..
Harvey Jones of Smyrna, is doing the
work.
Personal: Mrs. d. S. Clark, who for
some time has been sick is now con-
valescing and we are glad to see her
out again. Rev. G. r. Ellis left on
MOndPy morning of this week in ans
wer to a summons to attend the trial of
the Collins murder case. Miss Bertha
Bailey has returned from a visit to
Georgetown.
