A special agent for the company made the rounds of the local patrons some time ago and informed them a change in the system was to be made here and this week James T- Perkins started out on the work of re-numbering the phones. Sooner than have their numbers changed a number of the local patrons, especially among the business men, have had their phones changed from a four to a two or single party line. Others would not consent to such a change and thus have been given new numbers and this is. where the kick comes in. These business men have had their respective numbers so long that the general public has become so familiar with same that they were' able to call without reference to the directory and now--well, it's different. The business man has the old number printed on all of his stationary and advertising matter and thus a stranger, especially summer resort-, era, will be a long time familiarising themselves with the new numbers.

Miller a very pleasant birthday surprise at her home at Rosedale, on Fox river, on Monday / CH PLAN WILL BEST Your Convenience For frequent withdrawals, choose a checking account.
