It is stated that when telephone calls are made by name it results in delay and confusion, because operators cannot remem ber the telephone numbers of a large number of people. In a modern telephone exchange operators are changed from time to time, and under their training they deal only with telephone numbers. The rules of the tele phone company provide that calls shall be made by number, and a correct listing of all numbers ap pears in the telephone directory. In small communities where the operators know everyone, it has sometimes been a local cus tom for people to call by name and get good service. However, Jackson has grown to such an ex tent that the operators cannot know the name of every subscri ber, and when calls are made by name there is likely to be delay and annoyance. The manager of the telephone company states that if subscrib ers will adhere to the rule of calling by number and consulting the directory before making the call, the service can be improved, and this co-operation on the part of the subscribers will result in maintaining the service at a high state of efficiency. ***** MORNING BLAZE OESTROYS NUMBER OF BUILDINGS Several buildings, including the dwelling, barn, smoke house and other outbuildings, on the Jeff Washington place were de stroyed by fire Monday about 10 o'clock. The buildings and place belongs to Messrs. T. J. and S. P. Ridgeway.

Sheriff Crawford took his track dogs to the scene .of the fire but the dogs were unable to strike trail. That part of the county has suffered a great deal from fire during the last few months and the people are indignant over the matter. LIST CITY COURT JURORS FOR THE JULY TERM 1912 1. R. L. CARTER 2.
