DR.. J. E. GOvahn Is making
extensive improvements in the
Okolona Independent Telephone
Company which includes the
most modern common battery
lamp signal system, necessitat-
ing a large expenditure for a
new switchboard which is now
being installed by the Kellogg
Switch Board and Supply Co.,
expert of Chicago. The new
service to be rendered will do
away with the subscribers hav-
ing to ring to signal central as
in the past. The new way is
to remove the receiver from the
hook and and a miniature cleo
trio light signifies to the operator
that you are calling her. Other
improvements facilitating re-
liable and rapid service are en-
bodied in the equipment. A large
force of men will be employed
right away in changing the SER
vice over to the new system
which, when completed, will be
second to none in the state. 1t
is expected that all subscribers
will be cut over to the new
switch board before Nov. LIST.
Several thousand feet of new
cable has been putup preparatory
tocutting over to the new system.

Forty Volumes.

lion acres of land and won the suit in
the lower courts. The railroad com
pany is now having it's brief printed
for the United States Supreme court.
There will be 10000 pages of print
ed matter. These will be made UP
into 40 volumes the size Of the ordi.
nary law book. The brief will, in
itself, be formidable library, SO far
as the number of volumes goes. Each
volume will be composed OF 500 pages,
which is more than are contained in
the best sellers" When completed.
the brief will be almost twice as large
as a standard encyclopedia.
Although the brief must be printed
and bound, 1t will be a very limited
edition. Only some corporations like
a railroad with unlimited capital can
afford to compile and publish brief
of such magnitude. Every phase OF
the land grant case, together with its
history and the most inConseuuential
testimony of witnesses, will appear
in the brief II the justices Of the
Supreme court of the United States
attempt to read the entire brief it will
command their entire time for several
months in the reading alone.

STONE CHAPEL REVIVAL
Opening Effort is Greeted With a

There was q well filled house pres
ent who were promptly on time and
Mr.. Hackelman began the song SER
vice to the minute. Well ordered
congregational singing is not only
culture as well. Mr.. Hackelman's
home is in Indianapolis, Ind, where
he is at the head of a music publish
ing house. In all of his produc-
tions there is not the slightest effort
to magnify the singer. The listen
er is lost in the holy Interpretation
of the author of the hymn. From
the lowest audible note to the high
est pitch his voice is as natural and
seemingly unstudied as the song Of
a bird. Two pianos accompany
the singing and Mr.. Hackelman fire..
quently uses his cornet with excel.
lent effect. Mr.. Earley's sermon
was a strong, clear address embrac-
ing the pure and good there is In
life and the holy Incentives OF the
scriptures for continual self examin'
alton, and the certainty of sure vic
tory in the end. The main part OF
his sermon was addressed to mem
bers of the church. He greatly
magnified their calling and enlarged
upon their responsibility.
At the close of the sermon the
lights were turned down and the
meaning of a number of songs was
greatly magnified and endeared by
the use of an electric lantern re-
fiecting historic pictures on a screen.
The sanity faces of Mr.. and Mrs.
P. p. Bliss were shown in illustrat-
ing his much loved hymn, Let the

history of other songs was brought
out by impressive pictures accom-
panied by fitting lecture from Mr..
