Rural Telephones.

This question of rural telephone
has assumed large
proportions. The time has come dor
farmers to realize the great Denents
that would result to them by the es-
tablishment of rural telephone lines
that would put each in direct com
munication not only with his nelgh-.
bors, but with the nearest towns ana
villages in his section. Rural tele-
phonic communication and the money
combing of the rural districts with
trolley lines, will do a great oeal 10.
wards relieving the isolation tnat
now exists in an agricultural life and
a great deal towards making the lives
of the farmers more pleasant ano
satisfactory. In addition to this, by
keeping in close touch with the out
side world, the agricultural classes
will be able to enjoy many OF the
benefits of city life, and at the same
time preserve to themselves the man.
fold advantages of country life.
The matter of rural telephones is
being widely exploited, and its ad-
vantages are no longer experimental;
actual practice has proved that trial
in rural communities soon renders
it a necessity. We are glad to note
that a movement is on foot to estab-
lish more rural telephone systems IN
this section. It is most adm1raDle
movement and can hardly fail to sue

proper lines.

Farm Telephones.

In a previous issue we called the
attention of the farmers OF our
county to the Importance of having
telephones extended into their homes
and communities. The closer town
and country are connected, the closer
neighbor and neighbor are connected,
the closer will become a bond OF
union that cannot but make all OF
us better citizens, in broadening our
minds, thoughts and actions. :,
There is no medium through
which this result can be more thor
oughly and quickly attained than ], al,
that of ready communication through
a telephone, and If the cost Is as
slight as we are given to understand
it is, every farmer with pretentionls
to a leaning towards progress, Is
standing in his own light unless he
gets into quick communication with
