As announce several weeks ago, the
Cumberland Telephone Co. bought out
and have taken charge OF the Paulettc
telephone lines in Macon. They pur-
chase at the same time the franchise
and plant Of the Citizens Telephone Co.
in Columbus and at a meeting Of the
patrons and officers held Thursday in
that city the patrons were told that if
they expected first class service the
rates would be increased from $3.50 to
SO so for business and from S1.50 to
$500 for residence The Columbus
Dispatch says
while the Cumberland Company an
nounced their withdrawal from Colum
bus every one understands that they
have secured control Of the Citizens
company and are operating under the
%latter's franchise because its name and
good will, is, perhaps better than that
of the Cumberland company The lat
ter is known as the telephone trust in
this section and the instances are NUM-
erous in this State where It's extortions
have been appealed from to the Rail
road Commission.

The Confederate Veterans.

Editor of the Beacon
| learn from one Of the committee APP
pointed by the Commander at the meet
ing of the Veterans held last Saturday
to arrange for Il county re union. that
they agreed to meet in Macon on Au.
gust Bird neZt, and invite the whole
county to meet with. and to arrange for
u big dinner for all. However. they
appointed a sub committee on arrange
ments, and to get up Il program land we
hope that the committee will 60 ahead
and arrange for a meeting Of the camp
and that it will include every Confede-
rate veteran of the county, and that all
others who choose to meet with them be
cordially invited to participate freely in
The business OF The can p, AS we have
some important unfinished business that
has been on hand for several years for
lack of time to fini III it. rs the business
of our meetings had to give way to
speechrmaking, etc.
The important business to which | re
fer is getting up and compiling II his DRY
OF each company that went to the wa3
from Noxuhee county, a correct roll o!
each, and a statement, at least of its
services in different parts of the army,
the same printed in book form tor benefit
of present and future generations. This,
| belieye, we owe TO our children and
grandchildren, and as it is now forty
years since thelwar closed, and very few
of us are left to do the worl; of this kind,
so let US complete the work arranged
for us to do in this life.
/ learn that four companies have com
plete rolls and statements of their SER
vices in the army, so IN that day let the
camp bear them read and adopted. and
endeavor to get the same from every
company that went from the county,
and also from every individual. member
of the camp, To do this properly will
require some time. but if we cannot fin.
ish it in one day continue the meeting
from day to day until it is completed.
Very truly,
OLD VETERAN.

"The next speaker was the Hon. e

subject the Life and Character of the

glowing tribute to the men who stood
behind the guns and made the reputa-

were given the glory. His reference to
the soldier as a private was both amus-

loyalty and patriotism Of the private
soldier who was only prompted by an
earnest desire to fulfill his obligation to
his family and his country. Mr., Cavctt
was frequently interrupted by hearty
applause from the audience, who were
highly pleased with and entertained by
his remarks"
