The 6ong service at the M. E.
church Sunday evening Is deserving
of considerable) praise. It was In the
form of a story Interspersed with
church songs which have long been
favorites with church goers. Those
who attended declared It to be a treat..
Coming as It did in the form of a change
it will certainly create added interest
In nttcudlng public worship.
An entertainment will be given in
tho Congregational church Friday
night, August 22, tho proceeds to be
applied toward repairing and papering
tho church. "The Fnlries" Crowning,"
a little operetta, will bo given and a
short program of muslo and recitations
that will be suro to please every one.
This entertainment will be exception
ally good and all aro Invited to come.
Admission, adults, twenty cents and
children, ten cents. Tho curtain rises
nt 7:30 o'clock.
Wo would Buggcst that each person
using the local Bridging lino of 'phones
would ask tho question "Is any one
talking?" before ringing up any one.
Frequently some ono has rung for some
one person nnd is waiting for him to
come to tho 'phone and when another
person rings nnd said rung-for person
comes to tho 'phono a moment later ho
Is told by party No. 3 that ho, is not tho
ono wanted. Especially is this true
when a person hero wishes to talk with
Bomo ono on tho main line. Ono gets
tho person ho wants say in Alliance
and is talking along quite satisfac
torily. Suddenly somo strenuous, ex
citable critter runs up to tho 'phone,
sends in some local ring and goes to
talking, not caring a blank whether
any ono is using tho line or not. Cen
tral concludes that yon have rung off
and you, or rather I, swear a couplo of
times, hang up tho receiver in disgust,
cut my 'phono out of all connection
and write a letter as being a whole
lot more satisfactory. Now a little
commonsenso shown in the matter of
talking will clear the whole matter.
There should bo one rule that every
body observes, namely: satisfy touh-
BEI.F THAT NO OTHEIl l'KHSQN IS USING
tiik Viionk. It Is not sufficient to
take down the receiver and listen: some
one may bo watting for an answer or
there may be a pause iu tho conversa
tion. Paste tho above rule In your
hat.
