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

A LETTER FROM GEORGIA.
Edili.r Press and 8tandard:—
Will you allow me space in your
valuable paper for a few lines?
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,
