To Have A Direct Connection With The Local Exchange
An agreement Mas been entered into between the Monroe Co. Tel. Co", and the Kirksville Telepone Co., by which they are to run a trunk line between their exchanges at Kirksville arid Smith-ville. Upon the completion of this line it will be possible to get satisfactory conversations with all the Country west 'of this place. Heretofore all connections with that part of the County had to be made through Bloomington and the service was not so good.
