Telephone Co. Prospering.
The Citizens Telephone Company
has exceeded the expectations of its
owners, in its growth. The company
at first operated an automatic switchboard,
but it provee worthless and
failed to operate at all for awhile.
Just a year ago Mr. Samuel B. George
took charge of the company and installed
a manuel switchboard with
Miss A lma Long as operator. He began
with twenty-three phones. The
business has out grown the switchboard
and Mr. George cannot fill orders for
phones until the arrival of an additional
equipment, which however, he expects
very soon. Upon its arrival
many new phones will be added.
Among the list numbers are:
47. J. S. Caughman, residence.
48. Lexington Ice Plant.
49. John Wilson, residence.
50. J. R. Richardson, residence.
Among those who will get new
phones, are:
Drafts Hotel, Sam M. Rikard, Auditor
Dent, Court House, Miss Gable
and S. B. Shipp at Irene.

VTILLAMS CASE
WILLBE DB OPPED.
A dispatch from San Antonia, Tex., ;
eceived yesterday states that a mo- j
;ion has been made to dismiss the case j
igainst Rufus Williams of this city. j
charged with assault and robbery. The j
notion was made by the assistant dis
-rict attorney of Bexar county and |
vill be granted, the ground being that \
he trial can not proceed because of j
he absence of the State's most im- i
Dortant witness, Mrs. Sallie A. Gib- }
ion.
The case will be racalled as a most
emarkable one. Williams accompanied
Mrs. Gibson to Texas and there
;he charged that he took $60,000 in
pash from her. Williams was arrested
within an hour and tried later, after
peing released on bond. The jusy failid
to agree. Another charge of assault
was also brought against him and this
pase will also be dropped, the district
ittorney stating that he can not get
Mrs. Gibson to attend. Williams has
returned to thi9 State and is now coniucting
a livery stable in Brookland.
Mrs. Gibson was a relative of the
late Squire Meetze and inherited a
very large amount of money. A great
ieal of this she converted into cash
because of her distrust of the banks.
Several attempts were made to rob \
tier house on upper Main street when j
it became known that she had money j
in her possession. However, none of I
these susceeded.?The State. 28.

Promises Are Easy.
There is a warm controversy nc
going on in Calhoun county. It
alleged that to induce the people
vote for Calhoun county, and ma
St. Matthews promised $20,000 for t
building of a court house and jail, b
it seems that after the votes we
secured, and the county created wi
St. Matthews as tne county seat, tj
ante election promises, or rather tl
glittering bait was withdrawn ar
not forth coming; the voters har
discovered , themselves buncoe
and stnng, now they are weeping ar
wailing; and gnashing their guns, 1
induleing in a newspaper war i
crimination and recrimination.
The people who were thus mislei
lad they stopped to think for
