Bring Him Over Here.

We notice that Mr.. C. D. Thompson
of Harrodsburg is to have tree doc
tor" to visit his home for the purpose
of treating fine old elm tree, which
is in declining health. This brings to
mind the fact that almost every elm
tree in this county is in bad health,
every summer the foliage dies and the
appearance of the tree and it's useful
ness as shade giver is ruined, In
one case we know where several of
these fine trees were cut out of one of
our townsmens yard. Why not let
Mr.. Thompson's physician come over
and at least diagnose our cases?

Hubble Telephone Co. Lines Are To Come
Into Lancaster.

The City Council of Lancaster met in
the City Court room on last Monday
night, all the members of the council
being present. There were also pres.
ent about one hundred and twenty-five
people who are interested in the town
and county and who want to see the
proper telephone regulations. 1t will
be remembered that at the August
meeting of the council, the citizens OF
Hubble who have organized an inde-
pendent telephone company asked for
permission to run its lines into the city
of Lancaster and that at the last mo-
ment, one of the members of the coun-
ell left the room and broke the quorum.
The Hubble people were again in evil
dence at the last meeting, MANY citi-
zens of that section having come into
town to see what would be done. The
fight for the Hubble people was lead by
Councilman Parker Gregory and W. M.
Zanone while Councilmen VIM. Hern-
don and G. S. Greenleaf opposed let
ting them have any phones in town.
The proposition was FINALLY put to the
council to grant restricted franchise
Zone that can be revoked at any time)
to the Hubble Telephone Co. and coun-
cilmen H. C. Hamilton and B. F Wal
tiers voted with Messrs. Gregory and
Zanone. This means that the Hubble
Telephone Co will run its lines into the
city of Lancaster and have three
phones in town and the rates to all
will be one dollar per month, so if the
Bastain Telephone Co claim they can
not afford to furnish phones to the
country people at this price, it does
seem to us that these people who are
willing should be given the opportunity
Mr.. Basin was present and offered to
let the new company come in over his
lines and connect with him but of
course the officers of the new company
could not accept the proposition until
they knew what the charges would be
We congratulate the new company and
hope that they will succeed in their un.
dertakings and will satisfy the general
public The exchange of the Hubble
Co. will be at Hubble.
