BAD FOR TELEPHONE LINES
Wires Heavily Laden With Frost and
Many of Them -Glittering
Trees Beautiful Sight

Tuesday of last week was one of the
loveliest winter days imaginable. The
sun shone brightly and the trees We're
laden with a silvery frost. AS one
looked upon the trees shimmering and
glittering in the bright sunlight with
every twig load Of crystal white he
could not but admire the beautiful
sight. To a lover of nature it was an
inspiring sight, and as one looked upon
the ever changing CLINT and glimmer Of
sunlight he could not help but think
that winter too has it's loveliness as well
as the glad summer time. Like all
beautiful things it did not last for long,
for the frost soon melted off and later
in the day the weather man changed
his beautiful morning into a cloudy af-
ternoon. The heavy frost caused the
Crawford County Telephone company
considerable trouble, and the workmen
were called to many places over the
county to repair the lines, Wednesday,
Mr.. Trager secured three teams at a
cost Of thirty dollars, and made some
hard, slow drives to outlying points
where the wires were reported id bad
condition. The service has now been
resumed, after the damage has been re-
paired. ~, s+3fl y Efss{Stta ~
