Mrs. Graves and Mrs. Mannan returned Monday evening. Thanks, we don’t gamble. We raise corn for the grain and are not in competition with the Editor in raising large corn stalks to be used for telephone poles. We presume those stalks will be used to support the mutual telephone wires that will be used on our new line and to gather news for The Democrat. [Well, John, we’ll loan you one of those corn stalks to climb and get a peep over the river Sunday afternoons. How will that strike you? Ed.]
