The prospects are favorable for getting out of town connection over the Bell phones to Jonesville and Carlisle. This will be weloomed by the rapidly growing list of Bell phone subscribers.

On Wednesday afternoon while the two Misses Ivey, daughters of Mr. Smith Ivey, were driving into town from the direction of Jouesville, their horse was trotting rapidly,, as they neared the railroad crossing at the power house the horse got faster, possibly becoming frightened at a train which was standing on the track. When the buggy crossed the track the horse shied and ran the buggy against a telegraph pole breaking one of the shayes of i he buggy. The ladies either jumped out or were thrown from the buggy by the shock. Neither of them, however, were hurt which is very fortunate and a narrow escape. Mr. S. M. Rice, who witnessed the accident, hurried to the assistance of the young iadiea Finding they were uniniarf.rl ha nriori thA hnorcrv Innaa frnm * J ?- ?? p ?

It will be good news to the mothers of small children to learn that croup can lie prevented. The first sign of croup is hoarseness. A day or two beforo the attack the child becomes hoarse, This is. soon followed by a peculiar roupli cough. Oivo Chamberlain's Cough Remedy freely as soon as the child Incomes hoarse, or even after the rough oough appears, and it will dispel a 1 symptoms of croup. In this way ail danger and anxiety may be avoided, This remedy ia used by many thousands of mothers and has never been known to fail. It is, in fact, the only remedy that can always be depended upon at d shat is pleasant and safe to take. For ktale by F. 0. Duko. B ".* '< ! : . >v- kt ^' r-oils A Deadly Attack.

The Southern Bell people have sent two forces of hands to put up the new estimate for Uuion. Tho outside force, or construction gang are under the supervision of Mr. P. A. Montgomery, while tho inside force is under Mr. E. M. Burnham. They are pushing the work rapidly, and iniorm us thut they expect to have ell the new phones installed, the new switch board (a ltK) drop board which has arrived) in place, and everything working in au up-to-date manner by the 21th instant, so that ail can enjoy the privilege of a full phone service Christmas. There will be several new cables and extensions put in as follows: A GO pair cable, meaning 120 wires, will run from central office terininatii g at corner South and Bachelor streets from which point the wires tosuVscribers will be distributed along South, Virgin nud Church streets. A 00 pair cable will run to corner Main and Garrett afreets, between E. Nicholson's and W. II. Sartor's residences. A *30 pair cnblo will run to corner of Sharp Alley and Bachelor street, and a 80 pair cable will run to corner main and Judgment streets. Now is a good time for all those contemplating having the Bell phone put in to not ify Manager West, while the force is here and it can be done in a jiffy. The opposition phones are coming out with a rush, and the list of subscribers is dwindling down to a frazzle. Manager West has made a fine record as Manager since tbe Bell people came to Union. He seems to give entire satisfaction to both subscribers and employers. This is saying a great deal for a man who had never had the sligest experience with the businesss before he wns placed in Oho important position of Manager nf ?n ftVf?hfinao Vf n K o a 1 ..fc,v, AAV JJUO MUlKfU earnestly and faithfully for the interests of the company since he has been in charge, and we think the Bell people were fortunate in securing his services. We know nothing about the telephone business, but we do know when wo get prompt service, and that seems to be his motto, and we also know that a corporation as largo as tho Southern Bell is not in the habit of going to any trouble to compliment their employees, especially new men, unless they aro un-1 doubtedly worthy of it.
