The wires and poles of the United
Telephone Company on the main street
of Shepherdstown have been removed
this week, the work being done skillfully
by Jack Phillips. This is considerable
improvement to the appearance OF the
street, as it does away with network
of wires and a number Of unsightly poles.
The only poles and wires left on the main
street now are those of the electric light
company. There are only few phones
of the United Company left in Shepherds
town, and these are cared for by wires
on the side streets.
