Mr.. Bye, an expert telephone
man from Jackson, Mo-, is now in
charge of the local system, giving
it a thorough overhauling. In re-
arranging the switch board he has
found it unavoidably necessary to
change the numbers of many OF
the phones; so, until the work OF
rearranging is completed, you are
requested, when calling central, to
give the name of the party you
want to talk to,instead of the mum.
Der. Bear in mind, however, that
this practice will be but tempo
rary. As soon as the re-arrange-
ment of the switch board is per-
fected and the new directory issu-
ed all calls to central for connec-
ton must be made by number.
