Mrs. J.E. Mieras was on the sick list this week.
Mrs. John M. Mieras was an Orange City passenger Wednesday.
Lillian Mieras, who is attending school at Hawarden, was home over
Sunday.
The stockholders of the Maurice Mutual Telephone company met at the
hall last Tuesday night and proposed to reorganize the company and extend
its lines, if possible. The finances of the concern are in good condition
and the extension lines owned and operated in the past by J.E. Mieras was
bought by the company. A cordial invitation will be extended to the farmers
lines to join them in forming a company with sufficient strength to give
real service.
There was some sentiment present in favor of selling to an outside
concern but this will probably not mature. Henry DeJong will manage the
company's affairs for three months. This will give the people time to
consider the matter and come to a- final understanding.
