On all Routes Except 32 the Mall la
Delivered Six Times a Week—An
Average of 90 Families Served by
£acn Route—576,720 People In
Georgia Ccpendont.oji the Rural De
livery. i
The rural free delivery service in
Georgia ig steadily expanding to meet
cf An,
4h0 /demand of continued prosperity.
Jan. 2 of this year there were 1,424
twites in operation in the state and
100 petitions pending. On all of
these routes, with the exception of
thirty-two, the mail was delivered six
times a week; on these thirty-two it
was delivered three times a week.
The expenditures for this service in
Georgia now amounts to $1,00,000 in
round numbers. It is a -little under
that but so close to the figures Indi
cated that the difference is immate
rial. Most of this large annual ap-
piopriation goes to the payment of
the salaries of carriers.
The Routes by Districts.
The division of the routes by con-
lonal districts is as follows: In
First district, 105; Second dls-
t, 164; Third district, 120; Fourth
district, 167; Fifth district 98; Sixth
district, 102; Seventh district, 174;
Eighth district, 134; Ninth district,
122; Tenth district, 93, and in the
Eleventh district, 145.
The postofflee department estimates
that ninety families are served by
each of these 1,424 routes and that
the average length of the routes Is
28.7 miles.
Counting four and one-half persons
to the family this would make 576,720
people who are dependent upon this
source for the delivery of mail mat
ter.
The average number of members al
lowed to each family, it will be ob
served, has been cut down from five to
four and one-half. The department
statisticians have figured out that the
old ratio no longer exists—not even
in Georgia. Race suicide seems to
have extended out the rural free de
livery routes as well as along the
fashionable avenues of the cities.
From $40,000 to $25,000,000.
From the initial appropriation of
$40,000 made ten years ago to inau
gurate the rural free delivery ser
vice as an experiment, the popularity
of the service and the demands of
the people to be served, have appealed
to congress so strongly that in 1906
the annual appropriation for the ser
vice was Increased to $25,828,300.

riers is granted and Representative

SIX MONTHS FOR A DRUNK.
Judge Shipp Enforces Law Against
Drunkenness in Public.
Judge Shipp had another case of
drunkenness before him Saturday af
ternoon, sent In from Funston. The
offender was a negro named George
Bryan and he pleaded guilty to save
expenses and a long drawn out trial.
Col. T. H. Parker was appointed by
Judge Shipp to present his plea of
guilty, It being a practice of the
judge’s not to accept a plea of guilty
unless the defendant has counsel.
A sentence of six months In the
gang or a fine of seventy-five dollars
was Imposed. This, was the second
trial the negro had for the offense
He was drawn up before the authori
ties of Funston and fined twenty dol
lars for disorderly conduct. "
It soemB that Bryan had a horse
and the anlmaP^was jerked around'
pretty- considerable, go that there
might have been two charges against
him.
Judge Shipp called the defendant’s
attention to the fact that It was In
his power to send him up for three
years. This was done probably to let
him know that the worst had not
come to him.—Moultrie Observer.

Briggs’ Reduction 8ale.
As has been his custom for a num
ber of years, M. A. Briggs announces
a clearance sale In all kinds of win
ter clothing and other goods, at large
ly reduced prices. His good are mark
ed in plain figures nnd he gives a
discount which any customer may
figure for himself. .
These sales are instituted purely
to get rid of winter stuff, so as to
make room for the spring and sum
mer goods which are to arrive some
later In the season. At present
prices, parties wquld find It economy
to buy clothing for next winter, as
there would he a saving of at least
twenty-five per cent, though there
are several months yet In which to
wear winter clothing this season.

HEAVY 8ALE3 OF GUANO.
Farmers are Getting Buey With Their
Preparations for the Crop.
The farmers throughout this sec
tion of the state are getting busy
with thel^ crops and the outlook Is
that lEe sales of guano this year will
be'unusually heavy.
The movement of guano has already
commenced, but the scarcity of cars
will make it difficult for the dealers
in the smaller towns to get their
supplies as promptly as they may
want them. The shipments here this
week, have been about forty to fifty
cars, | and it is said that the railroads
are doing what they can to furnish
the factories with cars In which to
handpe the stuff.
ljt |hi said that the sales here will
lie&vler than ever before. The
»ries has .been In
;e demand and
tonne re of at
from this city.
Ity<s said that tho Valdosta made
fertilizers are taking the precedence
in all sections, because it has prov
en to be of the highest standard
grades.

Ben’s sister, who had been very
good to him, left the city on Mon^y,
and with her went Ben’s most stable

his companions he was going to kill
himself as he could not live without
working and he didn’t want to work.
His friends tried to dissuade him
from his purpose, but he was obdu
