West years ago, and it reminds of very terrible
experience which my Grandpap Mugg has a result
of same.
1t seems that telephone company comes along one
time back in my old home town, and puts in telephones
in ranch houses, up and down the Arkansaw valley,
including in my Grandpap Mugg's house. because in
those days he is living ranch not far from town,
raising cattle, and one thing and another.
The reason the telephone is put in my Grandpap
Mugg's house is because my Grandmaw Mugg, wishes
it, otherwise it will be there, my Grandpap
Mugg is no hand to monkey with doo-dads such as
this. In fact it is month before he win even 20

But evening it seems he has most important
business with guy at the other end of the valley by
the name of Williams, SO he gets my Grandmaw Mugg
to call him up, and then my Grandpap Mugg talks to
him. '..,.
He is much surprised to see how well he can hear
Williams and after they get through talking business
my Grandpap Mugg takes to gosspng about one thing
and another to Williams, who is old pal of his that
he does not see for quite some time.
