Dr. H. H. Davis was down from Winona this week on a visit to relatives and paid our office a pleasant call. Mrs. Dr. Hooker of Hamburg, Ark., visited in our town this week, the guest of Mrs. J. W. Montgomery. In this issue we publish a franchise granted by the town for a telephone exchange, which is being organized by home people. There are two features about this enterprise which should appeal to each and every citizen of the county. One is that it is very much needed, and the other is that home people are getting it up. We hope that nothing will impede the progress of the Company to establish it at an early date. Those good patrons paying us calls this week were: J. M. Ivey, R. J. Atkinson, J. H. Hathorn, R. N.
