that, of all the fruits, it takes the

Rural Telephones.
Durham, N. c., Sun.

Durham, n c., Sun.
We are glad to notice that quite
number of farmers of this county have
recently installed telephones lin their
country homes with connection with
the Durham exchange There is moth
ing that adds more to the comforts
and pleasure of living in the country
than a telephone. 1t brings to the
home assurances of safety from many
evils that come to the country home.
The telephone places the home in in
slant connection with medical aid; it
commands instant assistance in case
of accident, fire or other calamity, and
in case of business it is of very great
Importance.
The farmer who has telephone in
his home saves his horses and teams
many needless trips. He can know
when to go to market by phoning and
finding out the price of products on
the day he expects to go to market. If
the prices are low he can wait until
next day, or next week.
In fact the advantages of the tele-
phone in the country home are so num-
erous that it is impossible to mention
them in detail. We are glad to know
that our farmers are waking up to
their value, and we predict that as a
few live, progressive farmers install
these conveniences that others will fol-
low.
At present we have several lines
running out from Durham.
Wee hope to see the day come when
the entire county will be covered by
rural phone lines.

facts as far as possible On both sides.
1t is the privilege of a newspaper,
