TELEPHONE LINES EXTENDED.
Numerous Rural Companies Organized
to Furnish Service in Differ
ent Parts of The County.

Within the past few months several
rural telephones com panies have been
organized for the purpose OF securing
local service to the citizens OF the va'
ious sections in which the companies ar
formed. All of these companies will
have connections with the liam IT d
State Telephone Company thereby in
surfing the subscribers the conr' nlenc.
of being able to talk VIII, revrr the lines
of the company reach.
One of the recent companies formed
is the Stewards Rural Telephone Co
This company was organized Saturday,
April Goth, for the purpose of building
q telephone line from Cambridge TO C.
L Stewards. The line will he run In
the Blackwater and Egypt roads, and
will start with the following subscribers:

K. Horwath, G. L. Seward. Robert
Mitchell, Chas f. Pa, Phnliip Malhus,
j. q. Singer. Adolph Hirt and W. F..
Giese.
Another company, also recently Or
gsnized, is the Dailsville Rural Teie-
phone Co. John s. Skinner agent. This
company will bnild telephone line from
Cambridge to Dallsville and much of the
work has been done as the poles for the
line arrived more than a week ago. The
subscribers upon this line are John s.
Skinner, f. G. Landlord, Ernest A. Gillis,
Henry B. ellis, Waldo c. Jackson and
T. E. Barnett.
The East New Market Rural Telephone
Co. is another new company that has
recently been formed. The poles for
this line have been up for some time
and the wires strung, and it was expect
ed that the Instruments would be in
stalled by this time. The subscribers
ON this line are L. W. Nichols, O.. ".
Hubbard, 7. j. Taylor, F. B. Clifton. j.
T. Boston, J. A. Baker, T. 5. Higgins,
Geo. w. Isenberg, j. B. Webster, Frank
Webster, E. l.. Jones and Frank Mill
ard.
The South Dorchester Telephone Co ,
which was organized about a year ago,
has completed the erection of the poles
on its line and much of the wire has
feen strung, and in q few lays it is ex.
pected that the Instruments will he in.
stalled and service started; in fact. it
was expected that communication with
Cambridge wonld be established over a
portion of the line early this week, al
though it win probably be another
week before the line will be In operation
The South Dorchester Co. will have
about twenty-five subscribers on the
start. and it is generally believed will
be quite successful, as it has a very ad-
vantageous contract with the Diamond
State Company. The two companies
have established q fiat rate of 20 cents
for calls from Cambridge to all poin Is
on the line, and as this embraces Fish
ing Creek, HoopersvilIe, Golden Hill
Lakesville, CIapo. Wingate and Bishops
Head, it may be seen at glance thai
the low rate offers an unusually goot
chance to secure business
1t ia not unlikely that several Other
branch lines will be organized in the
near future, and it seems probable thai
before long net work of wires will con
meet almost all accessible points in the
county. TINS enabling farmers and Other
business men to transact much of theil
business by telephone, thus saving man
trips between the places connected.
