Bamberg Farmers Show Progressi.:
Shirt.

Splr1C.
Mr.. j. H. Webster, the farmers
line representative Of the Southern
Bell Telephone Company, of Atlanta,
in company with Mr.. F. F. Shores,
manager of tie Bamberg exchange,
have been TO. I..e LAST several days
soliciting SUI 4.Uers for the farm
ers' line to - puilt in the near tu-
ture, and kort that they met with
much success The farmers line,
which has been talked of consider
ably of late, will soon become a re-
ality, and some of Bamberg's fore
most farmers will be in close touch,
not only with Bamberg, but also
with every town in the United
States where the Southern Bell Com
pany operates. The following have
already become subscribers to these
lines, and quite a number have sig
nilied their intention of becoming
subscribers, and it may be safely
predicted that before very long the
entire county will be covered by a
network OF telephone wires:
The Pine Grove Telephone Com
pany, of which Capt.. w. S. Bamberg
is manager, will furnish service to
that section of the county. The
Lemon Springs Telephone Company,
of which Mr.. j. w. Hill is manager,
will have Messrs. J. J. Smoak, Geo.
H. Smoak, w. NJ. McCue, S. w. San
differ, and c. J. S. Brooker as asso-
ciates.
This spirit among our farmers is
to be warmly commended, and the
example set by these gentlemen
might we'll be emulated by others.
