THE TELEPHONE FEVER IS RAGING IN THE TOWN AT PRESENT
TO A HIGH DEGREE . J.M. RASBERRY WAS THE FIRST TO COME TO
THE FRONT WITH WIRE AND EMPTY TOMATO CAN , AND RIGGED UP PHONE CONNECTION BETWEEN
HIS PLACE OF BUSINESS AND RESIDENCE.
NOW R.B. JONES , ARTER HOLT , A.M. HALL AND
SEVERAL OTHERS HAVE FOLLOWED SUIT AND THE GREAT MODERN
CONVENIENCE IS BEING MANGURATED ALL OVER THE TOWN .
SOME HOW , MARMADUKE JUST WON'T STAY BEHIND.
