long distance telegraph and telephone lines from the base ports to Tours, Chaumont and Paris.
July 24, 1918, he was ordered to report to the chief signal officer, 1st Amer- ican army in the Chateau Thierry sector; Jan. 15, was trans. to Marseilles, Fr. as chief signal officer of Base Section No. 6. He embarked at Brest on the transport Leviathan, May 22, 1919, and arrived at Hoboken, N. J .; was mus- tered out of service May 25, as major of Signal Corps U. S. Army. He was engaged during the St. Mihiel and Argonne Forest operations.
The following is from Col. Hitt's recommendation of Capt. Keller for pro- motion :
1. During the St. Mihiel operation this officer was in charge of the operations division of the office of the chief signal officer, 1st Army, and was responsible for the excellent and rapid construction of the wire lines necessary to carry out this operation. He showed tact and execu- tive ability in the manner in which he handled the two Telegraph Battal- ions and one Field Signal Battalion under his direction and a knowl- edge of practical telephone engineering that more than qualifies him to hold the next higher grade.
2. During the Argonne-Meuse operations this officer's knowledge and practical ability were of the greatest service in the rearrangement of the wire lines of the 2nd French Army and the efficient operation of the telephone and telegraph plant at Army Headquarters.
Maj. Keller has been a res. of Surry since 1916, where he spends several weeks during each year.

REPRESENTATIVES.
The first evidence of Surry being represented in the legislature was at the "Fourth Provincial Congress" which met at Exeter, May 17, 1775, when Tim- ithy Ellis of Keene was a delegate from "Keen & Surry," according to Gil- · sum History. From that time, until 1827, Surry was classed with other towns in sending a representative to the general court. Surry sent her own representative nearly every year from 1827 until 1878 when the amended con- stitution went into effect and representatives were elected bienially in No- vember, in the even years, beginning with 1878.
The following men have served as representative:
