We regret very much the resigna-
ton of Mr.. Temple from the service
of the Cumberland Telephone and
Telegraph Company. Mr.. Temple
has been manager of the local ex-
changes for seventeen years and
during this time the service has
grown from list of fifty or sixty
names to more than four hundred
in the city and tributary lines lead
ing to every point in the county.
Not only has Mr.. Temple been
busy man, with burden CT work
and responsibility resting upon his
shoulders sufficient to tax the
strength of any man, he has been
uniformly kind, courteous, always
accommodating and obliging, and
perfect gentleman in all his Off
cial and private acts. His entire
time, energy and ability have all
been completely and conscientious
ly devoted to the company's inter-
ests and under his splendid leader
ship competition forced to abandon
the ground. In fine, Mr.. Temple
was eminently successful and use
full as manager of the telephone ex-
changes of Union City and Obion
County and in his retirement de-
serves and carries with him the es-
TEEN and good will of all our citi-
zens. The Commercial wishes him
many happy and prosperous years.
