THE FREMONT COUNTY HERALD. March 19, 1907. "Farmers Worked Hard".--Three sturdy farmers came into town last Friday and their cheeks of tan showed that they were accustomed to braving the elements and their hands of brown gave evidence of the strength underlying out-door exercise.

They were true to their duty and gloves were not thought of, but the old fashioned way of grappling with the problem was pursued. You all know them--E. S. Murphy, A. T. Birkby and Emmett Bobbitt, and they were doing work for the Knox Mutual Telephone company and when they closed their labors Frank Brandon and Hodges, Goy &n Co., were supplied with insturments and these firms now have the splendid privilege of communicating with the world at large and the three farmers are ready and perfectly willing to make others happy who may desire the benefits of the Mutual.
