The Telephone Girl
The telephone girl sits in her
chair,

The telephone girl sits in her
chair,
And listens to voices from
everywhere.
She hears all the gossips, she
hears all the news;
She knows who is happy, and
who has the blues.
She knows all our sorrows, she
knows all our joys,
She knows all the girls that
are chasing the boys.
She knows all one troubles, she
knows all our strife,
She knows every man that is
mean to his wife.
She knows every time that we
are out with the boys.
She hears the excuses each
fellow employs.
She knows every woman who has
dark past.
She knows every woman that
is inclined to be fast.
If the telephone girl would tell
all she knows.
1t would turn all our friends
into bitterest foes.
She could raise a small wind that
would soon be a gale,
Engulf US in trouble, and land
US in Jail,
She could let go a story, which,
gaining force,
Would cause half the wives to
sue for divorce.
She could get all the churches
mixed in a fight.
And turn our days into sorrow
ing nights.
In fact she could keep the whole
town in a stew,
If she would tell the tenth
part If all she knew.
Now doesn't it make your brain
and head whirl,
When you think what you owe
to the telephone girl.
Selected.

An Important Meeting
Right Freight Rates for This
Section

Since it has developed that
other money crops than cotton
werenecessarytobringthis section
of Mississippi into her own, many
farmers have turned their atten-
ton to grain. So much has this
been the case that it is now be-
lieved that Northeast Mississip-
pi will grow a grain crop this
year largely in excess of its
needs. Believing such to be the
case and desiring to be on time,
the citizens of Okolona have
taken up the matter of an equit-
able outgoing freight rate on
grain from this section.
On July the IL at 10 O'Clock,
number of railroad officials will
be in Okolona for meeting to
discuss with the people the mat
ter of rates. 1t is hoped that
the citizens of other counties
from Macon north and out some
distance on connecting lines will
be onahand and make their wish
es known. The officials have
already expressed a willingness
to grant as low rate as allow
able under the law. They want
to know the markets this section
expect to use and the different
commodities that are to be in
cluded in the special rate. 1t is
hoped that a good delegation
will be on hand.
Papers in the territory men
toned will please give notice of
the meeting.
