THOMASVILLE, GEORGIA, SUNDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 8, 1895.
Cupid’s New Code and Capers.
Postmasters and those who have
to cancel stamps, will probably
swear when they read the follow
ing code which is said to have
come into use recently. The posi
tion of the stamp tells the story.
Here is the code :
“Upside down on left corner, I
love you; same corner crosswbe,
my heart is another’s; straight t.p
and down, good-bye sweetheart;
upside down on right corner, write
no more; in center at the top, yes;
opposite at bottom, no; on rigbt
band corner at a right angle, do
you love me; in left hand corner, I
hate you; to corner at light, 1 wish
your friendship; bottom at the left,
f seek your aeqiiuintauee: on line
with surname, accept my love: the
same upside down, I am engaged;
at light angle same place, 1 long
to see you; in middle at right
hand edge, write immediately “
Now this is some more of Cu
pid’s capers. When Archie Dav
enport or Lee Switzer makes adab
at the upper right hand corner of
an envelope to cancel the stamp
it may be found at right angles
opposite the address, placed there
by dainty fingers, and meaning
“I long to see you,” and there
will be a muttered imprecation as
they take a second, and a vicious
whack at the innocent stamp
They will have to keep an eye on
the upper left hand corner, with
stamps upside down, carrying the
mute message: “I love* you
Cupid's latest code and vocabula
ry, will be productive of much pro
fanity in the pestofficfs of the
country. This public manner of
conveying love messages, is not to
be commended from any stand
point. If you lovo one, rially
love one, mind you, say so in plain
and persuasive language, if yi u
please, on the ineide and put the
stamp right side up on the upper
fight hand corner of the envelope
where it belongs, so that cancell
ing clerks will not havo to stand
nn their heads to cancel your up
side down stamps in all sorts of
places. A fellow who wants to
tell a girl that be loves her, should
do so in a more direct and manly
way, than by the position of
postage stamp. The old-fashioned
oral declaration, with tho usual
accompaniments and surroundings
—provided the old folks are not
around—is the best way, and af
ter that the sealed letter, with the
declaration safe from prying eyes.
We shall expect a substantial
testimonial from the employes of
the postolfice, presented during
Christmas, perhaps, for our sage
and timely suggestions touching
scattering the position of stamps
on envelopes.
Another Fire.
The rapid ringing of the fire
bell alarmed the town at 6:30 last
evening. The unearthly whistle
at the water works and the South
Georgia College bell joining in
gave a general alarm. Very soon
the crowd was rushing in the di
rection of Fletcherville. The fire
department re-ponded promptly
and the steamer dashed down
Jai kson street at a break-neck
speed. The fire proved to be at
the residence of Mr. George M.
Smith in Fletcherville. Thebnild-
ing was covered with a sheet of
flame before the fire department
reached the around. Very soon,
however, three streams were
playing on the building.
The adjoining buildings were
made safe, and the main walls of
the burning building saved. 11
was tine work, and reflected cred-
t on the department. The fire
was first discovered it. the end
of the building where Mrs. Smith
said there had been no fire in two
days. Most of the furniture was
saved, though in a damaged con
dition.
The house was insured for $1000
and the furniture foy $600 in the
Underwriters Agency, New York,
E. M. Smith, agent.
The fire attracted a large crowd
from all parts of town.

Catch On To The Ideas!
We have been requested by some
of the ofiicials of the General Be
nevolent Society, to state that
they find it impossible, owing to
a want of more funds, to lend aid
to non-residents. °artics who
have been living here six months
come within the scope of their
charity. Of course, extreme cases
of want by any one is always met
in Thomasville, but the society
mentioned finds it impossible to
meet the demands made upon it
Jersey Farm has a very pleas
ant party of boarders within its
hospitable doors. Among the
number are Mr. and Mrs. James
Walker, of Cleveland, 0.; Mr.
Ckas. E. Wahl, Chicago; Mr. F.
