A New Telephone System.
The co-operative telephone
system ia being installed in
Goldthwaite and those in charge
inform the Eagle that they ex-
pect to have the business in
operation in thirty days or leas
time. The work of digging holes
and placing the poles has been
in progress since Tuesday and
the poles and switchboard have
been shipped. The exchange
will be located in the Brown
building, over Mr. Murray’s drug
store,and the wires will be placed
under ground in the business
part of town, in order that they
may be out of the way of all
other wires and of the trafic.
The new company has for of-
ficers: Dr. M. L. Brownj presi-
dent; J. C. Street, vice presi-
dent; R. E, Grant, secretary and
treasurer. These with Messrs.
W. H, Fletcher and J. W.
Roberts constitute the board of
directors of the company.
Messrs. Fletcher and Roberts
have charge of the work of in-
stalling the system and they
have a large force of men at
work and Mr. ,J. O. Harrell, who
is experienced in that line, is
superintending the construction.
Good Roads.
The subject that should be of
vital interest to all the people
everywhere is good roads; It is
important' to everybody to &
greater or less degree and to the
merchant and farmer it is of par-
amount importance, for obvious
reasons, This being true, every
interest should unite in securing
the improvement of the public
highways, Some of the heaviest
taxpayers as well as other good
citizens who do not pay a laFge
tax believe that roads' should be
worked by taxation, y?hile others
equally &e much interested and
as patriotic are of the opinion
that the work should be done by
private subscription, but ail
agree that the public roads
should, b8 given more attention
than they have had in the past,
It might be best to have a road
supervisor to give instructions
and adyiGe to

ing of the road by contract for a
stipulated sum per mile would be
satisfactory, perhaps. At any
rate, the roads in this county
should be given attention before
the time for moving the fall
crops.

should be done.

Killed by Lightning.
Mrs. Abe Macklin was killed
by lightning while at work in her
husband’s cotton field a short
distance west of Mullin Thursday
afternoon. A relative who was
at work near her was stunned by
the bolt, but was not seriously
injured and revived in a few
minutes. The bolt struck Mrs.
Macklin on the right side of the
head and ran down the right side
of htr body. 1 She sank to the
ground, having been killed in-
stantly. The west bound local
freight train was passing at the
time and the train crew .saw the
lady fall when . th8 lightning
flashed. . .
