THE I XTR \ FORCE
At the Postoffice Will Be Added on
the 10th.
Postmaster Stallings states that the
extra men that will be added to the
postofflee force will not be in
etelled before the 10th. There will
probably be three mare clerks added
to tbo riapertment. The mail for the
sr Idlers will be put up In special mall
pouches, each company having its sep
arate pouch. These pouches will be
called for by a messenger from each
regiment and delivered at camp about
twice a day.
The delivery of the military mail
will he entirely separate from the oth
er mail.
There will be no kck, it is safe to
say for Postmaster Stallings has plan
ner the matter well and the soldiers
will get their mail promptly. The
clismge in the situation of the money
orler department will soon be madp.
The nature of the change has already

was the weakness of the medical de

thought the greatest mistake made
waa In not sending medical officer* in

Today was a dull day at the court
house, an unusual thing for the first
Tuesday.
There was the usual array of hor
ses, mules, and vehicies, thronging the
square, but very few of them changed
hands, and with two or three excep
tions the horse that brought the far
mer to town was the one which car
ried him home.
Col. Walker sold a few pieces of
property: One-eighth interest in the
estate of the late William B. Broad- j
hurst, being purchased by Tutt &
Boylston for *195. In the adminis
trator’s sale of the estate of R. H.
Harris, tbo properly was bought in by
Mrs. Harris. Two lots on Twiggs
street were bought by Mr. H. H. Cam
ming for sll3.
Runnw y Last Night.
Last night as F. M. Dugas and his
eon were driving home on their wagon
the horse became frightened at some
geese and ran away. The wagon oolltd
ed with a dray standing on the street.
Both were thrown out, the elder Du
gas' head striking the curb and frac
turing hi* skull and otherwise Injuring
him. The son escaped with a few brui
ses. The son is out today, but the fa
ther, although not so seriously hurt,
as was at first reported, will be laid
