The Cumberland Telephone & Telc-
graph Co. wishes to operate in connec-
ton with its exchanges in the country
a county system and to this end request
the farmers of the country to give it an
opportunity of presenting to them its
plans for the service. By the use of
the greatest of modern inventions, the
farmer can at a minimum cost to him
self keep in touch with the markets and
on the days that the highest prices are
offered for the products of his farm he
can be reached over the telephone by
his merchants or by his confidential adj
visor and thus frequently in one trans
action save more than the cost of his
telephone service for an entire year.
The farmers in this section are invited
to confer with the Company's nearets
local manager, or to make their wants
known directly to the executive Office at

Little Ruth SybiI Johnson.

On May 25th, 1907, the Lord in His
wisdom plucked from earth one of the
flowers with which He intends to be-
deck the house of many mansions. Lit
tie Ruth's stay on earth was short, but
that her mission was one of great i'm
portance there can be no doubt. She
had become so endeared to all who
knew her that her going will be a
strong incentive leading others toward
that home into which she has gained
an abundant entrance.
We take comfort in believing that
God worketh all things together for
good to them that love Him. To the
heartbroken parents we would say that
the same God who hath taken your little
darling and caused the heart to bleed
a heal the wound, and He only can
comfort the broken hearted.
The angels came and took her home
To God who sent her here,
That she might not a sorrow know,
Or ever feel a pain.
She was a blessing on this earth,
In love and mercy given:
The rose that budded here below
Has bloomed high up in Heaven.
