DESERVE THANKS.

The Bell TeephOne Company and
the Pennington Telephone Company
are entitled to the thanks of our peo-
pie for the free and splendid service
accorded the people OF our county
in furnishing them the election news
last Tuesday night. They placed
phones in the Opera House in Farm
ington and connected their wires,
furnishing the services free to the
local Board OF Charities, which
charged nominal fee of ten cents
admission, the proceeds to go to the
charity board, which is much in need
Of money at this time. The Bell
and the Pennington Telephone Com
panies deserve the commendation
and good will of all our people for
their generosity In this matter, and
also St. Francois Lodge No. IS |. o.
OF. which furnished the use of the
Opera House free. The Board of
Charity realized $a.90 out of the
enterprise.

good to be unkind." His wisdom
and gloomy purposes shall be re-
vealed in the sweet by and by, so
let us not weep, but prepare to meet
