The Washington Republican Washington County Friday March 22, 1901 Telephone Improvement. Within the past two weeks the city system of the Washington Telephone has been under repair and much needed improvement. The main pole at the corner of MEADER's store, where there are so many wires, cross arms, etc., had to be taken down and a larger one put up with more cross arms. A led cable was run from the central office to this pole with 75 wires in it. With these wires all in a cable there is no danger of them becoming tangled or crossed. The remarkable thing about the change and all the repairs is that most of the wires have had to be cut and spliced and scarcely no one knew of it. That is, their 'phone was not of connection with centeral office at any length of time. The work has been under the direction of E.L. LARABEE and will soon be done. EVANS Bros., who own the system, should have much credit for the trouble and expense they have gone to in making the Washington system one of the best in the county.

She has a grievance against the M.E. pastor of Hollenberg and wants him removed. Methodist bishops are always ready to listen to complaints against preachers, but we doubt if Mrs. DAVIS can cause the bishop to remove Rev. HOLLAR for the offense of having a jointist convicted of violating the laws of the state. We might add further that Mr. DAVIS and his wife do not belong to the M.E. church. Chas. BOYD, who has had charge of the Standard Oil Co.'s oil business at Belleville, has been promoted to a better town and Ira MATHEWS will run the oil wagon at Belleville.
