FARMERS RURAL TELEPHONE CO,
How an Enthusiast Looks at the Fropo-
sition of Telephone Nervice.
The farmers of Centre county are
organizing telephone lines and con-
necting with the Bell exchanges. The
matter is being worked up and agitated
by public spirited men in each com-
munity. The Centre County Pomona
Grange has had the subject under ad-
visement for the last few months, and
invited competitive bids by the two
companies doing business in Centre
county. They finally accepted the
Bell proposition as being the most ad
vantageous, all thiogs considered
The County Grange then perfected an
organization and drew up a legal cou-
tract, by which the farmers or stock
holders who invest are protected. The
Bell, or properly the Peunsylvanis
Telephone Company, is nt permitted
to hold auy stock la the local compa-
nies, thus insuring the ownership to
the farmers, the
