As we lock at the crowds
pass along, /
All classes of people we see;
Some of them gloomy and grouchy
and sad.
While otljors arc smiling with glee.
Setae of them think that the world i*
all wrong,
They talk about the troubles and
- strife;
The people, the times and all getting
worse.
And nothing for them hut a useless
Uto.
They fret and complain over what
they can’t help.
When things arc not going their way:
Calamities coming, they freely pre-
dict.
And thus they go on every day.

The torfure of rheumatism, the pains
and aches that make life unbearable
are relieved by Sloan’s Liniment, a
clean clear liquid that is easy to1 apply
and more effective than mussy plas-

quickly without rubbing. For the many
pains and aches following exposure,
strains, sprains and muscle soreness,
Sloan's Liniment is promptly effective.

We desire to thank the telephone subscribers of Sherman for their patience during
the last few days.
Under the best conditions it is expected that a certain amount of confusion will result
from the consolidation of two telephone systems.
From a telephone stand-point, the storm of last Friday night was the worst that has
visited the city in years, and coming as it did, just thirty hours before our cutover, we
found it jiecessary to effect the consolidation with almost 1,000 telephones in trouble.
We have had a large force of men at work almost continuously, day and night, during the
week, and we have almost restored normal conditions. Many of our subscribers were out
of service for as long as five days and yet there has been scarcely a word of criticism or
complaint, k „
S’
In answer to many inquiries we will state that the rates for the consolidated service
Residence Telephones.....$2.00 per mo.
Residence Auxiliaries........50c per mo.
are as follows:
Business Telephones.......$4.00 per mo.
Business Auxiliaries____...$1.00 per mo.
Two-Party Residence Telephones..... . .$1.50 per mo.
It will be noted from the above that the only increase in rates is for business telephones.
The increase in the Business rate will not be effective until July 1st. In the meantime,
those who have used two telephones heretofore and who will need but one after the
solidation, will be charged for but one telephone from June 10th. Proper credit will be
allowed those who may have paid for the two in advance.
