Modern Phone System.
Extensive improvements to be
Made by the Home Telephone
and Telegraph Company-Re-
construction Of the Plant In Hen
derson, Including New Modern
Central Energy Switchboard.

Mention was made in these columns
some weeks ago that the Home Tele-
phone and Telegraph Company of
Henderson, with the interest of it's
patrons ever in mind and its desire
at all times to give them the best
telephone service possible, contem
plated in the near future some extern
sive changes and Improvements in
their plant here.
Mr.. TIC. Toepleman, General Man
ager, has just returned from New
York where he purchased the neces-
cary material and apparatus. and
he informs us that work will begin
at once on the reconstruction of the
plant, which, when completed, will
give us perhaps the most modern
system in the State.
A new modern and up-to-date Gen.
trail Energy switchboard is to be in
stalled, every line made me tallic cir
cult service, and the outside work
wholly rebuilt, using over ten
thousand feet of cable, which will
not only do away with the many
wires in the business section of the
town, but will vastly improve the
service. This new plant will enable
the subscriber to get a much quicker
and more satisfactory service. With
the adoption of the new switchboard
it will only be necessary for the sub
scriber to take down the receiver to
ring ''Central," while the replacing
OF the receiver in position will ring
Off
1t will take something like four
months to complete the work, as the
installat ton of this system will re-
quire practically a rehabilitation of
the entire plant; but when finished the
town OF Henderson, with it's progress
i've spirit, can boast OF a thoroughly
modern telephone exchange credit
able to the Company and to the
town and furnishing a service that
will he in every way satisfactory to
patrons. The improvements they
propose making in keeping with the
progressive spirit Of the town, will
require very considerable outlay of
money, and we feel sure that the
liberal, progressive spirit shown will
be greatly appreciated by their pat
rOns.
Mr.. Toepleman will personally
engineer the installation, the i'm
mediate reconstruction to be under
supervision of the Company's able
foreman, Mr.. w. G. Allen.
This Company is a home enter
prise managed by our citizens, and as
such the GOLD LEAF in common with
our people generally has felt q keen
interest and pride in its success and
development. Its officers are cour-
teous and considerate and their
greatest desire is to furnish their
patrons the very best service pos
sible. And in this neither efforts nor
money-as the exigencies require and
the means at hand justify-are spared.
Nice line of white wash goods and

ket growers. In the course of its ca
reer it has received over twenty
aliases to my knowledge. 1t is me-
dunn in size; the skin is yellow and
smooth, but on the sun side the fruit
is smudged with blush of red. 1t is
juicy, has a fine grained flesh and is
rich and sugary 1t is supposed to
have been first produced i'll Belgium
in 1853, and to have eventually made
its appearance in the vicinity of Lon

that was in "the good old times" The
tree referred to still bears thousands

on stakes will do well. When the trees
face the south they thrive best of all.

DEHORNING.

The time has come when cattle no
longer need horns with which to pro-
tect themselves. With the disappear
ance of their natural enemies, horns on
the domestic COW have become entirely
unnecessary. Instead of being used as
a means of protection they are now
turned to infict injury upon the other
members of a herd. If a farmer while
blowing would now insist upon carry
ing loaded rifle on his shoulder as a
protection against Indians it would be
termed perfectly ridiculous practice;
yet calves that grow up in the peaceful
safety of pastures where danger never
threatens, are allowed to develop use
less and vicious weapons. Many per-
sons affirm that saving or clipping the
horns is brutal practice; not more so
than some other operations that the
farmer resorts to. But it need not
come to this. A druggist will sell
enough caustic potash for ten cents to
prevent the growth of horns on a dozen
calves. When the calf is two weeks
old and the horn can be felt beneath
the skin, do the work. Wet the horn
bud and rub with a stick of the caustic
as with pencil. A minute or two will!
do the business-with ones fingers, too,
If the stick be not wrapped in several
layers of paper or dry cloth.-Geo. P.
Williams, in The EpitomiSt.
