Postage Increase in Effect.
On Friday morning', N num
ber 2nd, at 12:01 o’clock a. m.,
every letter received at the lo
cal post office to be delivered to
persons residing outside the ra
dius of this office will have to
bear an additional lc postage.
The same applies co post cards.
The post office officials are do
ing their bit to warn the public
to remember the increase in the
rates. After the midnight hour
passed Thursday night all let
ters beariifg a 2c postage will el
ther be returned to the sender
or forwarded on to its destina
tion and the additional cent col
lected at that end.
The postal officials say that
there will hardly be any delay
in the mkils due to this fact. If
a letter hasn’t sufficient post
age and has a return address
it will be sent back for the ex-J
tra postage, or if it fails to have
the return address, it will be
forwarded along just the same
as at present and the dues be
collected from the receiver.
The officials, however, are
very anxious not to have the in
crease in postage misconstrued
There ahe several phases to the
new rating which are of impor
tance to the general public.
For instance, the increase does
not effect the local or “drop let
ter’’ which is used to a large ex
tent by merchants and other
business men here.
A “drop” letter is one which
is mailed in the Cumming post
office and can be delivered in
the town or on any rural route
from the town.
The increase does not affect
this form of letter and it can be
delivered in town and on all ru
ral routes from here, but if it is
to go to Suwanee, route 2, or
any other route in the county
other than the Cumming routes
3 cents will be required.
Another phase is that pic
ture postal cards and all post
card - not containing all planted
matter will have to be mailed
v<ith 2-cent stamps.
But the increase does no 1 af- •
tect a post carl which contains;
all printed matter on the back
A church annenrcement, a no !
tire of a fraternal order meet- j
end other &*.ch notices can 1
be mailed by post card at the
present rating.
However, should the card
have a correction in ink or a
written signature or inserted
figures then the additional rat
ing will be enforced.
All post cards must conform
with the government standard
size 3 9-16 x 5 9-16.
Card of Thanks.
We wish to thank our neigh
bors and friends who so kindly
assisted us during the sickness
and death of our darling little
girl, also for the many words
of comfort spoken to us in this
trying ordeal.
May heaven smile on each
one is our earnest desire.
G. W. Bramblett and Wife.
