Like unto a magical voice that
seems as disembodied as an echo
is the telephone girl in relation to
the world she serves.
The girl in the exchange often
treads the borderland of romance
and gets peeps into dreamland, a
tragedy or comedy.
In spite of rules telephone
courtships are in nowise relegated
to the past. The exchange girls
voice still has it's power to charm,
and many a society girl would do
well to study its quality and ca
dence.
Telephone girls, although they
work under a nervous strain, are
well paid and agreeably circum-
stanced in their work. AS a rule

switchboard is followed by Is min
utes recess, and pleasant, well
equipped rest room is furnished by
the company. If any be i'll there is

CASH BASIS
BY JUNE |
Treasurer and Commission.
ers Work Together for
That End.

County Treasurer Stewart is
aiding the county commissioners in
every way possible in the work of
getting the county on cash basis
in the payments of its warrants.
The three per cent rebate on real
estate taxes which expires March
Is is calling a liberal response by
the early taxpayers. Whenever a
sum of sufficient size accumulates
Mr.. Stewart proposes to issue a
call for outstanding warrants,
thereby cutting down the countys
interest bill as rapidly as possible.
Mr.. Stewart has made one such
warrant call since going into Office
January II and has sent out no.
tice Of another to be made in a
few days.
The present county treasurer
realizes it is poor business policy
to let county money lie in the
banks drawing only two per cent
interest, while the county is pay
ing six per cent on warrants
drawn on the exhausted funds.
Treasurer Stewart figures that
by June 1 the county ought to be
again on a cash basis in the pay
ment of county expense warrants,
The belief is based largely on the
manner in which the county COM
missioners are looping off needless
expense in the management of the
county business.

DEER SEEMED TO KNOW.
Wild Doe Helps Woman to Take Care of
Wounded Fawn.

An incident in animal life which pos
sihly may never be duplicated occurred
II few weeks ago on the estate of
George W. Watson at Eastern Point
Soon after Nv. Watson arrived ri his
Eastern Point residence Il fawn was
born in the grass land around the resi-
dence. During the winter of course there
was nothing to disturb the deer and they
wandered at will around the estate.
When it was time to cut the grass 2
moving machine was put to work and
the sharp knife of the mower found the
little fawn while ii was cuddled up in
the heritage. One leg was cut quite bad
ly-sO badly that the baby deer was UNI
able to get away. 1t was taken care Of
by Mr. Watson and the injured leg
treated.
The little chap seemed to understand
that il was in good hands and responded
to the treatment. 1t was left where
found, and each day the mother doe came
along aud attended TO the provision of
food, the youngster, gaining health and
strength daily. Now the little chap has
fully recovered and is able TO fight its
own life battle, More ardent lovers of
animal and bird life than Mr. and Mrs.
Watson cannot be found, and they are
well pleased to know that the fawn they
cared for is able to follow its mother
and enjoy the freedom of Gordon woods
1t has been accorded To very few
even those who spend much time in tho
wilds TO see baby deer nurtured as Mr..
and Mrs Watson saw their little pet
