,f i ca n stop one heart from breaking
1 shall not live in vain,
If j can ease one life the aching,
Or cool one pain,
If I can bring joy and gladness
instead of sorrow and sadness,
1 will sir.g with a glorious retrain
And feel that I have not lived in
vain.
The glad season of the year is fast
approaching ar.d we should take
stock of ourselves right away and see
if there is not some way that we can
bring joy and happiness to those we
love so dearly.
At Christmas time we usually re-
nember those whom we love best
with some affectionate gift, which
should rightly be, but there ate
untless ones around us who, thru
unfortunate circumstances, are not
permitted to bestow the gifts that
they would like to upon those whom
they number among their friends, but
sometimes 1 feel that we do not use
this season of the year as our Master
would have us use it. It is well
e..ough to bestow gifts of love upon
those who are dear to us, but while
pve are doing this let us not forget
unfortunate ones in our midst,
nd if we haven’t the means to eir-
low them with woridly goods, we all
re possessed with the faculties of
peech and expression ir. some form,
so why shouldn’t we use them to con
vey kindly greetings to every one we
come in contact with for the next
several weeks
The sending of gifts and greetings
to those whom we number as our
friends is worthwhile and conveys a
beautiful sentiment at this season of
the year, but while we are perform
ing this pleasing task why can’t we
also turn to those less fortunate and
offer them some of the feelings that
peremates the air at this time. If you
are not so well blessed with earthly
tieasures you do have something that
you can divide with them and which
will mean much to them.
ne expression of best wishes, an
abundance of which we all possess,
can be conveyed to everyone, and as
we see the expression of their faces
lignt up at our thoughtful remem
brance of them we are always fully
repaid for the effort.
1 well remember how I like to re
flect back several years ago the da.'"
before Christmas when 1 was making
my daily round on the route and was
running into so many of my patrons
who seemed so happy with the task
of sending some remembrance to a
loved one or friend, and how proud
they were to receive one, when a
poor old darky came out to his mail
box with a bundle of kindling under
his arm, and as I drove up to his box
he seemed to have a hesitancy in con-
eying the message that he wanted
to me when I told him that I hoped
he would have a happy Christmas,
and he said: 'Mr. Wall, that is just
what 1 wish for you, and I only wish
that I had some way of expressing it
i suitable manner, but I didn’t
have anything to give you, but I did
know that you would need some
kindling along, so I have brought
you this little bundle of kindling,
and with it 1 hope that the fires will
he brightened for you during Christ
mas time.” Of all the remembrances
1 had coming my way that Christmas
I appreciated most that bundle of
kindling given to me by that humble
darky, for I felt that the motive be
hind the gift was sincere and it fully
conveyed the true spirit of friendli
ness,
hook about you and begin to plan
|to bring joy and happiness to some-
ene during this glad season, and you
"ill never have cause for regret.
Christmas Handbooks
If you haven’t placed your order
Ifor Christmas handbooks yet, let me
| ur ge that you do so right away, and

ldistribution to their patrons may 1
Ingest that these be distributed a
peek or ten days before Christmas
p' n 'e, as they contain valuable infor-
I matin,, that will help your patrons in
I hating such information as they de-

Mail Early Campaign
lhe usual annual MAIL EARLY
Campaign is now on, and fur trie liene-
|fit ,,f everyone, both users of the
pails and those who handle the mails
I ' 3 urgently requested that packages
pad Christmas greetings be mailed as
pir'y as possible in. order that they
pan reach their destination before
phristmas Day. All postal employes
are asked to call this to the attention
of their patrons and rural carriers
can have a large part in asking their
patrons to mail early This is done as
stated above to have all Christmas
mail delivered before Christmas Day,
and in order to give the postal em
ployes an opportunity of spending
Christmas Day with their loved ones.
Let everyone co-operate with this
movement, and no disappointments
will come to those expecting remem
brances from you at Christmas
time.
County Group Meeting
The carriers and their lamilies
from the counties of Houston, Dodge,
Pulaski and Wilcox gathered in
Hawkinsville on the evening of Nov.
28, at which time a barbecue supper
was served to more than 50 guests.
The weather was inclement, but not
withstanding this fact the attendance
was good, including besides the num
ber of carriers present with their
families, two retired carriers, two
postmasters, and a number of guests
who were invited.
It was the privilege of your writer
and Mrs. Wall to be present at this
function ar.d it was indeed an enjoy
able occasion. Past President Roy
Carroll, of Abbeville, was master ol
ceremonies and he conducted the
meeting in a very pleasing and har
monious manner Included in the list
of speakers was Postmaster Hen
dricks, of Hawkinsville; Postmaster
Titshaw of Pitts, and Secretary-
treasurer Chas. C. Wall. The work of
the Ladies’ Auxiliary was stressed
and Mrs. R. W. Bush of Eastman,
who gave a report of the work as
outlined at the Denver national con
vention of the Ladies’ Auxiliary, and
she urged the full co-operation of all
the wives of the carriers in their
work, as it was proving most bene
ficial in the program of activities.
We hope to have a full report of
this meeting from the secretary of
this group for publication in our
news columns next week.
The interest demonstrated at this
gathering fully demonstrated the
good that can be derived from these
contacts, and we are hopeful that
more such gatherings will be planneu
for other groups during the winter
months It is the purpose of the offi
cers of the state association to at
tend a many of these affairs as pos
sible, so let us know when, you have
one planned and arrangements will
be made for some officer to be pres
ent.
This group will hold another such
meeting on the evening of February
21, 1935, at Eastman, Dodge county.

Pickens Carrier Passes
We received news some ten days
ago of the death of Bro. W. A Mash-
bum, until his death a rural carriei
from Jasper, Ga. However, we did not
have any details of his death in time
to publish account of it in bur news
columns at that time. We have now
an account of his death as was car
ried in his home county newspaper,
the Pickens County Progress, under
date of Oct. 18.
Brother Mashburn died on Sunday
night, October 13, at 10 o’clock, after
having undergone an operation for
appendicitis the day before.
The members of our association
will regret to learn of his death, and
the deepest sympathy of all is felt
for the bereaved ones in their sad
loss. We publish the account of his
death as contained in the news dis
patch:
Death of W. A. Mashburn
Mr. Wm. Alfred Mashibum died
Sunday night, Oct. 13, at the Coker
Hospital in Canton, after an illness
that lasted less than two days.
Mr. Mashburn was taken ill Satur
day morning with acute appendicitis.
He was carried to the hospital and
operated on that afternoon. A large
abscess had formed on the appendix
complications developed and his gen
eral condition being bad, death re
sulted Sunday night.

great shock to his large host of
friends On Friday he carried the

WHATDOESMYHAND
TELL
By Alice Denton Jenninga
Today’s discussion concerns what
known as the Quadrangle of the
hand. A cut of the normal or average
hand appears with this article.
The Quadrangle is the space be
tween the lines of head and heart.
If it is wide and regular, largest
nearest the percussion or outside of
the hand, anil lines bounding it are
of good color, it shows justice, loyal
ty and broad tolerant views, a
straightforward and courageous char
acter. Should it be narrow, it shows
narrow views and conventionality, a
tendency to injustice and indecision,
and with other bad signs concurring
it shows deceit and malice. In an oth
erwise good hand, but with a weak
line of health, it is said to show
asthma When this narrowness Is
caused bythe line of heart descending
towards the line of head, the subject
is egotistical.
When this narrowness of the
Quadrangle is caused by the line of
head mounting towards the line of
heart, it is a sign of irresolution and
timidity.
Crosses in the quadrangle show the
influence of others on the life of the
subject. Those that fall from the
heart line downwards are influences
engendered by the opposite sex;
those that rise may be the result of
either friendship or love, but in the
latter case the feeling will be deeper
on 1 the part of the other person con
cerned than on the subject them
selves, If the cross is well formed
and does not cross the line of fate or
fortune, the influence will be good
and happy, and if the branches of
the cross touch both the head aind
heart lines, the influences will be
lifelong. |
