The Signal Iteverncd. In using the present telephone system in Greencastle it is no longer fashionable to say “hello.” The word has been changed around and now after a subscriber tries to get action he hangs up the ear piece in disgust and savs something like “O h—1.”

V'hom the conflicting stories told in eoumdl on last evening it seems that each sid 1 of the controversy is nursing a well defined and healthy tale of woe. The council has done

Advertisers get the Trade.
The way the public at large look at advertising is forcibly shown by the utterance of a well-known Phil adelphian. temporarily in Washington, who was walking somewhat out of his way to reach a florist’s. When his attention was called to the fact that there were other florists nearer, he said : “I am seeking this man because lie advertises in the newspapers. Tne man who ad vertises is always up to the times, and he is easier to deal with. You laugh, but I tell yon it is a fact. I have studied this over, and I know from personal experience. For the last few years of my life I’ve made it a rule never to deal with any business man who doesn't advertise. I wanted some (lowers to semi off in a box by mail, and I looked in the paper this morning for the advertisement of a florist. Now, you see, he wants to deal me—else he wouldn't put that in the papers. I don’t know any of the places here; but the rule is a good one, and I’ll bet you anvthiuu you say that I can get what I want at this place, and get it cheaper than anywhereelse, or at any flower place that keeps its name out of the newspapers. The business man that doesn't advertise I have always found narrow-minded, selfish, non enterprising, penny wise and pound foolish, even if he didn’t cheat me outright. No. sir; I never buy anything of him.”—Geyer's Stn-
ever got the squeak downstairs and out of town is a mystery but give Mr. Starr a pair of hand cutfs and a club and we believe he will win every time. He has captured several ugly customers in his day hut that squeak was the biggest job of his life. Everybody congratulated nun last night, for that squeak had driven many a poor fellow to drink. Mayor Birch said the council chamber would be repapered and repainted soon, Everybody smiled again. The treasurer’s report for September was reported o. k. aud the following claim ordinance was

Next came the roar over
the tele |
phone system, Mr. Miller had
been out writing an attachment against the concern and had to be sent for. Attorney Moore dropped in about the same time and the ball opened. Mr. Miller started things by telling of the hitch between tile Greencastle company and the Phoenix (’ve leave off the rest of the name for convenience) company, and offered the following: “1 move that the Pheonix National Telephone and Construction company be notified that unless all disputes and disagreements- now existing by reason of which the tele phone system is rendered useless and inoperative are adjusted and the same he in operation within ten days under terms and conditions
loaded upon cars here would be more valuable to them than at the compromise price they had offered it to Messrs. Johnson it Ne/son: etc. Mr. Good’s remarks called for a speech from Mr. Nelson and he was not slow in coining to the front. He denied the material charges of Mr. Good and said he and nis partner had done everything in their power to get a good exchange for the city; that the work hud been purposely delayed by the Phoenix company; that the company had shipped telephones here and then shipped them to an other point; that the Phoenix peo pie had refused to stretch a wire to the water works pumping house that they hud run many of their wires below the electric light wires: that the poles were not set deep enough; that the pins were weak: that straw had been used in fastening the glass insulators to the pins ; that hard steel wire had been used instead of soft iron wire; that they had an electrical expert from India napolis go over the line and exam ine it and that he said it was not a good one; that his and his partner’s hands were tied by the action ol the Phoenix company and that they could do nothing, etc. Mr. Good made another speech and so did Mr. Nelson, then members of the council took a hand. The eoneen sus of opinion was that the India napolis company had no rights t<> do business here as a telephone company. The city attorney thought best to kick the entire bus iness out at once. Mayor Birch called for a vote on Mr Bridges’ amendment which resulted in two ayes and four nays, the second ward couneilmen voting solidly for the live days’ limit. The vote was then taken on Mr. Miller’s original motion as set out above and the vote
