on opposite page. The last one to
pass out of this list was 1919, and

PUT WIRES IN CABLES.

The Jefferson County Telephone
Company has completed three cables,
two from the Charles Town ex-
change and one from the Harpers
Ferry exchange, each containing 26
circuits. The converging of a large
number of wires at the exchanges
maks cabling almost imperative.
Putting wires in cables enables the
company to abolish nearly all of the
numerous cross-arms on its poles,
land at the same time reduces the
work of trimming trees.
Tn two cables running into the
Charles Town exchange extend from
the vicinity of the Ransom postoffice
and from Hunters Hill on the Har-
Ipers Ferry pike. In Harpers Ferry,
the cable has been constructed from
the exchange to Hotel Conner, the
route being down the bluff near the
Hilltop House to the railroad, main
| line, thence down the right of way
to The Hotel. 1t was found that the
action of locomotive smoke was I'M
mensely damaging to unprotected
wires in the vicinity of the railroad
/ il being necessary to renew the
wires frequently because of it
Sheathed in cable, wires will las
/ an indefinite length of time.

MUSIC" co TO THE
WOODS.

Dear Editor
In reply to an article in last weeks
paper | think he Cor she) is some Old
crouch who likes to sit around and
do nothing and try to keep others
from enjoying the concerts given by
the Klean-Kut-Klassy Band.
Wha5 of it if he doesn't care for
music, let him go to the woods OF
some other place and enjoy himself
Another thing is, why does he pick
on the children? Wasn't he child
once? l think very little of man
Cor woman) who considers children
nothing at all.

of Charles Town are lovers of music
and will do all in their power tc
have a good Band. l, for one, viii
do all / can to help and keep BanC
for Charles Town.

THE CATHEDRAL OF THE WOOD

In natures vast Cathedral
What grandeur we behold,
Where the long aisles stretch so
endless
In glints of green and gold.
The choir of that Cathedral,
Is the Wood Thrush, Mocking BIRD
And they trill and quaver anthems,
The sweetest ever heard.
The squirrels stop to listen
To their notes of gladdest praise,
And the wind intones the service
To the music of their lays.
The vault of this Cathedral
Is hung with glittering stars,
It's light, "The Lamp of Heaven"
Casts a radiance from afar.
