Farmers Getting Ready To Hold Telephone Meeting.

Arrangements are being made by farmers and others to hold a telephone meeting in Rensselaer to discuss the matter of organizing a mutual company in this county and either buy the lines of the Jasper County Telephone Co. or put in entire new lines. The meeting will be held on Saturday of next week, unless the date is changed. The plans contemplate asking for a franchise to put an exchange in Rensselaer if business cannot be done with the home company.
