The Qalnesboro Telephone Co. has been hard at work the past few weeks making the change from the old to the new system of telephones, and the improved service was “cut in" Monclay. It Is a new system through out. from switch-boards to phones, and the patrons have every reason to ex pect a better service t.tyin ever before. The price on office phones remains at $3 a month, but the charge for res idence phones has been increased to #2. All phones are now “long dis tance," and the new instruments ring automatically when the receiver Is taken off instead of by “turning the crank” as heretofore. There -have been a great many new subscribers added to the Exchange,and a number of further additions are ex pected in the near future. The enterprise of the tlalnesboro in installing this splendid new plant can not be too highly commended, and their efforts to give Cedartown a first-class, up-to-date service will be thoroughly appreciated.
