' 4 E. L. Williamson Bell Telephone The Uxbridge Journal contains quite a lengthy item "on telephoné matters in this vicinity, we publish herewith a statement of facts, as given us by Mr. Wallace, Local Manager of the Bell Telephone Co, in Port Perry. That the Bell Telephone Co. have developed their rural lines around Port Perry is an undeniable fact, and it is the intention of the Bell company to make a similar development around Uxbridge Sometime ago the Bell company contracted with Drs. Bas- combe and McClintock, to exchange service at Uxbridge, and by this agreement the Bell Company were not to compete with the doctors outside the corporate limits. The lines detoriorated to such an extent that they had to be rebuilt, and rather than rebuild, the lines were sold to the Bell Company, who promised to rebuild. just after this purchrse it. became an open secretet that the fin- ancial condition of the Scott Uxbridge Telephone Company would soon place the plant of that Company on the market, and if this were purchased by the Bell Company, it would leave along du lication of poles. 22g unnecessary duplication of The Bell Fok ame have laid aside a certain sura of money for rural and local development in Uxbridge, and if it is not put into plant purchased it will be put into a new Luilding. : It 1s not the policy of thé Bell Company to compete with existing companies, but self preservation is the first law of nature, and this shall be fully demonstrated in Uxbridge Telephone situtation: / a, Mr. Wright Crozier, of Utica, has purchnsed Mr. Albert Halls' house, on the Avenue, Port Perry. He ex- pects to move 10 town about the 1st of April. He will take the Man- chester mail route. His son Wesley will run the farm.

He extended the golden sceptre and said, "What is it Queen Esther? and what do you ask--It shall be given to you even | to the half of my kin ," Esther answered "If it pleases the King; that the King and Haman come to : st the king said "Order Haman to' be quick, and accomplish the request 'of Queen Esther." So they two went to the feast prepared for them, and when the king had drunk well of the wine asked that the king and Haman din with her on the morrow. ! After the first feast was over, Haman went away delighted and who again refused to bow to him, he was angry, called his wife and friends in consultation, and asked what was to be done. Here he was, Haman, the specially favored of the King and Queen, flouted by a captive Jew. His wife and friends advised that Haman build a gallows fifty cubits high and hang Mordecai on: it next day. That night King Ahasuerus could not sleep well and thé scribe read to him a record of past events. = Among others he read how Mordecai had saved the King's life. Naturally the question arose as to what had been done to reward Mordecai for his act, and it was found that nothing had been done. Then the King called out: "Who is 1n the court?" Just then "Haman had come into to ask the King to hang Mordecai on the gallows he had prepared for him, so the pages said: : "We see Haman standing in the Court," and the King said, "Let him enter." J : ; When Haman came in the King | said: "What shall be done unto the man whom the King delighteth 'to' honur" Haman thought to himself. "Whom would the King delight to honor except myself," so he answered, "For the man whom the King may delight to 5 let them bring Royal Robes, such as ¢ obje Association, are| © the study of the interests of retail |: proud, but when he saw: Mordecai, | the Outer Court of the Royal Palace] the King him- | horse that the |; aE a BRU!
