“VALUE DSL IS HERE.”Still on dial-up? InterBel is on the home stretch of getting everyone converted over to DSL. Today only 5% of our Internet customers’ still use dial-up...

InterBel Annual MeetingMark your calendars for InterBel’s 48th Annual Meeting – Saturday, April 2ND. �e meeting will be at the High School Auditorium, doors will be open at 9:00 AM with donuts, coffee and OJ. Our meeting will be called to order at 10:00 AM and is expected to run 2 to 3 hours.

With an eye to the economic climate of our community, once again (3rd year running) we will be handing out

Chamber Bucks; encouraging people to shop at home. Each of our regis-tered members at the meeting will receive $10 in Chamber Bucks (which is just like cash) to be spent in the Tobacco Valley. In addition, we have $1000 in Chamber Bucks to give away with a number of other generously sponsored prizes.

We hope to see you at the meeting.

If you have not made the switch to DSL yet, we’d ask you to consider it now as we phase out dial-up service. On June 1, 2011, we plan to have everyone on DSL and dial-up will no longer be available from InterBel.

Making the change to Value-DSL involves a few steps:

Tobacco Plains Journal, 100 years ago

Eureka Journal, March 30,1911

There are fewer bachelors in Tobacco Valley than any place of the same acreage on earth. There’s just one or two left for seed. And there are more rosey cheeked girls, and rugged, rollicking boys than in any country on earth. For many years this valley did not crowd the birth rate very fiercely, but now, like the big sawmill, they are working a day and night shift and turning out a lot of mighty fine material that makes a state and nation great. Let the good work go on.
