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.
