PHONE HOLDERS IN ANNUAL MEET.

The annual meeting OF the share
holders of the Shenandoah County
Mutual Telephone Company, held in
the Court House CT Tuesday was de-
Iv9id C. even seInbl~nce OF diacoI !,
the lack Of which evidenced the able
manner in which the business OF the
lover five hundred stockholders was
managed by the officers during the
past year, and the satisfaction of the
1850 phone holders with the service
rendered.
The Treasurer's report showed a
balance of cash on hand of approx
mately 5000 and material and supplies
of $780, During the year much of the
trunk line of the system, along the
Valley turnpike. has been rebuilt at a
considerable cost and the Company is
now buying large poles to further i'm
prove the physical condition of its
lines. The cost of maintenance has in
creased proportionately with the cost of
labor and supplies, but the revenue of
the company has enabled it, by econo-
mical management, to add much to the
efficiency of the system.
The weakest points in the entire sys-
tenn are the subsidiary lines which are
allowed to go down because of lack
of interest in their upkeep by the
phoneholders using these lines. While
primarily such phoneholders suffer
most by deprecated service, yet this
lack of cooperation by underlying
companies has tendency to cripple
the efficiency of the entire sys-
tenn. Efforts to improve conditions
on some of the rural lines are FREE
quently made but in some instances
these efforts are fruitless of results.
The cooperation of the Mutual Sys-
tenn with the Bell company for long
distance service was the one big SUBJ
ject discussed at the annual meeting,
and when it was made known that the
local company's relations with the
long distance corporation were annie
able, profitable and mutually beneficial,
all fear of entanglements inimical to
the interests of the Mutual were dis
sipated.
It was stated that the Mutual Com
pany was willing and ready to give
such improved and additional service
as the phoneholders were ready to pay
for, and that the extent of this service
would only be limited by the willing
ness to pay.
Officers elected for the ensuing year
were P. S. Rhodes, President,
S. B. Miley, Vice President and
Treasurer andN F. Snarr. Secretary.
H. CARRIER, New Market;
j. William Harpine, Mt. Jackson; Rev |

CHRISTIAN ENDEAVOR SOCIAL

A very delightful and extremely
sweet affair was an old time candy
pulling held by the Christian Endeavor
Society of the Presbyterian Church on
Tuesday evening at the home of Mrs.
Carl Boyer. Each member brought a
pound of sugar, and after all had arriv-
ed committees were appointed with
the following chairman:
Taffy making Mrs. Joe Clover.
Fudge-Miss Eleanor Price
Seafoam.-Miss Helen Coffman.
Clean-up-Mr. Harry Moore
With fourteen cooks in the kitchen
merriment reigned supreme, but,
strange TO say, the candy was splend-
i'd success. The evenings fun came
to close with G. E. sing; the songs
pealing forth Justify as only Christian
Endeavor boys and girls can sing them.

GEORGIA cow MAKES
A NEW RECORD

Victor's Annie of Fern Crest, own
ed by DR.. VIM. Rawlings, of Sanders
vile, Ga, is now the seventh highest
producing two-year-o1d Guernsy cow
IN the World. In 365 days she produc-
ed l3,l43.3 pounds of milk and 800 AZ
pounds of butter (85 per cent fat.)
She produced a splendid heifer calf
within the time required to qualify for
double letter record. Her first calf
was bull and he was sold for $3.50.
When it is realized that there are on
ly SIX other Guernseys living or dead
that have surpassed this cow, it will
be realized that the Fern Crest Dairy
under the able management of Mr.. w,
II. Howell, is doing most praisewor-
thy work and is proving the splendid
possibilities of dairying in Georgia.
1t is significant fact that only two
years ago the highest producing
Guernsey two-year-old in the World
produced $40 pounds of butter fat in
the year. In other words, had this
Georgia cow made the splendid re-
cord two years ago, she would have
been the highest producing two-year-
old in the World.
This cow was born on Georgia
cotton farm and was fed largely on
homegrown feeds. 1t is a splendid
example of what may be accomplished,
and should be an encouragement to
every dairyman in the State
