In anticipation of the road from st.
Joseph west 1.-THE old plank road)
heing widened, when work on the
modern highways begins, the Cumber-
land Telephone Co. this week had
the poles along the side OF the road
moved hack some distance so as not
to interfere with mr. impede travel.
The work was conducted under the
management of Mgr. Worthy of st.
Joseph Exchange and was done we'll,
quietly and quickly, with just as little
interference to service as was posi-
BILE. Mgr. Worthy IL q most capable
and deserving young man and the
company as we'll as the local exchange
are fortunate to have him.
Mr.. 8. w. Hazlip ia painting and
sanding the tower of the Court House
and which Is adding greatly to the ap-
pearance of the handsome edifice.
Mr.. Hazlip has been very busy man
the past winter, indeed has had more
work than he could we'll handle and
the end, he says, is not in sight. Haz-
lip says he IL going to leave st. Joseph
but his friends say they won't stand
for it. He has been doing our paint
ing and decorating for practically
thirty years and he's too old to change
pastures and his patrons are too old
to change painters. While he insists
that he is going away we believe IL he
could secure house here he would
change his mind and conclude to
abide with us awhile longer. Nobody
else would suit ST. Joseph and no.
where else would suit him.
Mr.. J. H. Wheeler sustained q severe
loss on Monday, when he carelessly
left his leather wallet on the desk at

business, and went away, not think
ing of it for perhap pa couple OF hours,
when he realized that he had lost IL
and returned to the bank to enquire
II the officers had seen It, but learned
that they had not. Il is probable that
somebody entering the bank had seen
the wallet lying on the desk and ap-
propriated it. The book contained
$500 in following denominations:
four $1,000 bills, eight $500 bills, two
s2.00 bills and four S1.00 bills. The
