Deal Includes Phone Lines In the deal fcr the local electric light plant Mr. Welch is also nego tiating for both telephone lines in this county and at present it looks very much like a go, , though at present neither the deal for the light plant or the 'phone lines has been closed. H One reason that makes the deal ljok like a certainty is the fact that the Welch company has placed an order with the Toledo Lumber company for 350 sawed poles. : . With the new company in control the appearance of our btreets will be considerably (better than at present as they will replace the three sets of poles now in use with one linecf good, solid, aa wed poles, carrying both the telephone and lieht wires. Wo appreciate the difficulties under which the present companies have labored, but still we will all agree t hst our present system of poles would not be termed as first aids to beauty. "C. T.
