SOME SUGGESTIONS FOR R. F. D. PATRONS. Be willing to assist your car- riftr in his work : it is to jour interest as well as his. 1. Don’t delay your carrier by asking him to wait a minute until you can write a note. Remember he has a schedule to make and delays are s metimes dangerous. 2. Buy your stamps, cards and envelopes ahead; your carrier always has a supply. If you sre out of stamps, why just put the right change inclosed in a piece of paper so as to keep the carrier from chasing pennies in the box, and please do not fcrget that your carrier is too poor to carry extra change and the only legal tender is postage stamps and cards; so if a dollar and one let ter in the box to mail, why simply expect fortv-nine beauti ful views of George Washington for change. 3. Flease do not expect your carriet to write you a card or a letter. His time while on the loute belongs exclusively, to Uncle sam, and delay might cause him to miss connection and throw everybody’s valuable let ter behind. 4. Always see that your mail box is placed to your carriers right hand as he drives. Remem ber that Uncle -Sam does net want his carriers to have to stand up or dismount to put mail in the boxes. 5. Hare an eye single to good roads and bridges. t)o not ex pect your carrier to keep the automatic gates in repair. Re member your wife, daughter or sweetheart wishes to drive some times, and you do not want her to get out in the mud to open and close gates and repair bridges, and bear further in mind that bad roads are the biagest tax you carry. <0, It is uo use to add the words ‘‘In haste” or “Rush”, they do not add anything at all to the letter’s dispatch. If Mark Twain were a mail dispatcher he would lay them over a day in the ice box to cool off and get over the rush, and to be sure, it does not go to the dead letter office. Write your name on the upper left hand corner of your letter or package. 7. Be sure not to pile any brush or obstructions in the front of your mail box, but oc casionally put a drop of oil on* the lock. 8. If you have a meusaae to send in naste for the doctor or 'Otherwise hand your carrier a penny and he will write a postal foi' you while he rides. Do not fori et that memories are treach- erouiS and that one lonesome penn) * soes somewhere towards lesseui Qg the postal deficit that we read about. Jh Dt n’t stop your carrier and a&k him ;“the news”. Remem ber that h>re are good daily papers to be -had for $1.00 dollar per yjear up 1° $3.(JO dollars; there are tTi-w r et/klie8 that are almost as good as dailies for $1.00 per year, then there are good ^ country we* kly papers and maga zines in abundance, to say noth ing of the splendid farm papers. Good Newspapers and magazines are first-class educators, and there are no families that can af ford ta be without them. 10. And finally, dear patrons, just think a'moment what rural free delivery has done for yon. it annually saves yon $10,000.00 that would be spent *in time going to tbe postoffice. You have uo “back-woods”, you are All up to-date, and do not have to go to political meetings to learn how to vote, for we bring you daily papers. You do your own reading, thinking and vot ing. The money thus saved has enabled you to send your chil dren to better schools, tp buy better improved implements for your farms, musical instruments tor your daughters, to build bet- = Uncle 8am has fairly bestowed all these blessings and in return only asks oftV patrons to “coined across” and heed the above sug gest iotterimtl give us guiKi roads^ h* —- cree- forour weary, wayworn ters” to traveL * “A Rooter”.

When I take a retrospective view of the past my mind goes back to old South Carolina, the place where I was born, and in my mind’s eye I can see my dear old home ani all my sisters, and Bartow, my only and dearly loved brother, bat tUs! time has brought many changes and we are all scattered; some sre still in South Carolina, and one sister is living in the fine old state of Georgia. Each have had their share of trouble to bear, but 1 think my two youngest sisters have had mere than people are generally called upon to bear, but God has said iu his Word that he will not pat upon US more than we are able to bear, so let us each one try to see the finger of God in our bereavement and say *’not my will but thine Oh God! be done'’, and know that onr troubles here mark, out for us a far more exoeediag and eternal weight of glory. Trusting that as ^ach one of my dear ones read this they will say wittiiu tnemseives, “lot others do as they will, but as for me and m^house, we will serve the Lord.” Praying that we will be an un broken iamily in Heaven where we can he together through the eternal ages, Siueereiy yours, Anna Benton, Ohoopee, Ga., May 22 <Mr« Smashes All Racorda.
