The finishing touches on the new work will enable the company lo give about as near perfect service as can be So great has been the demand here for telephones that a certain amount of congestion in the service has been unavoidable. The lines serving the West Sayre and Athens districts were heavily burdened with business, and as it was deter- mined to increase the service to the point where further additions would not have to be made fcr years to come. Accordingly a new cable system is being installed. This cable contains 125 pairs of wires at its starting point at the Sayre exchange. At Lincoln street a 50 pair cable branches out and will serve the West Sayre territory, the latter cable taking the place of the mass of unsightly wires that have heretofore done duty in that part of town. From Lincoln street to Athens the cable contains 75 pairs The management of the company states that it is expected to com plete this portion of the work some time next week. Another improvement that will be appreciated by the company's patrons will be the consolidation of at Sayre, and it is thought that the job will be completed about the middle of April. Everyone knows the difficulty that is sometimes en- countered in trying to converse with a Waverly party. When" the Waverly exchange is finally dis- continued that trouble will be a thing of the past, as the Waverly subscriber will be called direct from the Sayre exchange. The work of setting the poles up Wilbur avenue to the Waverly village line has just been finished, and a large force of linemen and cablemen are busily engaged in stringing the cables, Still another new cable designed to perfect the service is being in- stalled in Sayre by the Valley com- pany. This one starts at the ex change on Lochart street, extends through the alley bisecting Elmer and Lehigh avenues to Mohawk street and thence to Spring's Cor- ners. It is of the 50 pair capacity and will serve the Milltown district Few people realize the cost of these improvements. A cable strung on poles does not impress the average beholder as being a very expensive affair, yet when the Waverly exchange is finally consol- idated with the one at this place the plant will represent an amouat of money aggregating thousands of dollars. ENDEAVOR SOCAL The Christian Endeavor society of the Presbyterian church held a social at the home of C. M. Driggs last evening. A large number at- tended, and all enjoyed the musical and literaty program provided Games were played and light re- freshments were served, SICKNESS ABATING Since January 1 there have been 20 cases of scarlet fever, 2 of diph- theria, and 2 of Measles in Sayre.

Woodworth, was one of the fore- most men of his time, and his mother was a daughter of John Shepard and a sister of Mrs Julia A. Perkins, the author of “Early Times,” This historic valley was favored with a class of early settlers who foresaw its possibilities and wisely set themselves to the task of making their homes here and sur- rounding themselves with the com- forts of life. The elder residents of this section will remember some of them, Dr. Woodworth in pars ticular. He was one of the pillars of the Athens Presbyterian church, and since his death his son, John A, has filled his place with the character and dignity of a true christian citizen.
