SENATOR BACON'S WORK
In Behalf of the Parents and Others.
Large Quantities of Mail
Delivered.
t 1
The people of Macon and throughout the
•whole state will be glad to know that the
members of Colonel Ray's regiment, the
Third Georgia, have received their belated
mail’and that in future their mail will be
delivered promptly.
Senator Bacon, who returned from Wash-
• ington last night, having been there for
several days In the interest of the state
and the location of .troops in Georgia for
the winter, found the following letter
awaiting him: ,
Hon. A. O. Bacon, Macon, aG.
Sir: Upon receipt of your telegram of the
I, ultimo, in regard to the delay in de
livering 'the mails to the Third regiment,
United States Volunteers, I cabled thtj pos
tal agent at Santiago to investigate and
report. In a cablegram dated the 29th ul
timo, the postal agent states that not a
single letter or newspaper remains in the
office undelivered.
You doubtless understand that the post
office department has no mail route be
tween the United States and Cuba at pres
ent, and that the mails are all carried by
the war department transports. The pos
tal agent states that there was a long in
terval during which no mails arrived at
Santiago. Very respectfully,
Perry ,S. Heath,
First Assistant Postmaster General.
The fact that the soldiers of the regi
ment had not received their mail had been
brought to Senator Bacon’s attention and
ond September 28th he telegraphed the
postmaster general requesting that he
send a cablegram to Santiago directing
that 'the mail for the Third Georgia be
“sorted out” and delivered to the soldiers.
On the followipg day he received a tele
gram from the postmaster general sending
a copy of the cable sent at his request. The
telegram stated that a quantity of belated
mail had been received and that it had
•been sorted out and delivered at the dif
ferent points where the soldiers are now
located.
Hundreds of anxious people all over the
state will thank the senator for his action.

BURR BACK HOME.
Ths Popular Bookseller at
His Old Stand.
• ——" 11
Among the numerous business changes
that have occurred in Macon during the
past few weeks, none is of more Importance
than the removal of Mr. Burr Brown to 362
Second street.
In making this change Mr. Brown is not
in reality moving to a new stand, but
rather back to the old stand, for it was in
his present store, 362 Second street, that
he conducted a few years ago the largest
and most sucessful news, book and sta
tionery store in Macon.
Mr. Brown is now back in his old home
and his stock is even more complete than
ever. Like everyone else, he has put on a
few extra, frills for the Carnival, and he
■will be keeping open house all this week
with the largest stock of books, station
ery. periodicals, etc., carried by any house
in Macon.
