Whether or not they are going to like it as well as some seem to think they will remains yet to be seen. Judging from some remarks made by the postmaster general a day or two ago, the service will receive a general and notable ex tension in the near future. At a meeting of the state fair association at Concord, N. H. Mr. Smith said that the postoffice had been carried to the doors of 31,000,- 000 of population who live in the cities and large problem remains of carrying the mails to the doors of 21,000,000 Americans who live on the farms. He recalled the fact that within the last two years the service had been extended over a territory larger than that of all England. Before the fiscal year is closed the service will have been carried over 8,000 routes, bringing the postoffice to the doors of more than 6,000,000 people, and reach ing one-third of the population it is intended to furnish with the im proved postal facilities. In some quarters it is claimed the jolly farmers are in nowise con tented over the new order of things. Haying now no occasion to visit every day the country store which which usually serves as a post office, the ruralist is becoming rusty on local and general tpics. The storekeepers’ trade has been reduced, country life rendered more solitary and less eventful and uncertainly in mail service in creased, while the prospective swarm of rural letter car riers is viewed even in the de partment with scarce concealed perturbation. But the ruralist must get used to it all. Free de livery of mails in green country districts has come to stay; and this by no means implies that any considerable number of fourth class postmasters must go. It will not take the farmer very long to discover that, next to a fat pen sion, the most grateful slice of government largesse on a small scale is in the multitudinous possi ble appointments of the new free mail service, OH for tho Children . Give them oil —cod-liver oil. It’s curious to see the result. Give it to the peevish, fret ful child, and he laughs. Give it to the pale, anaemic child, and his face becomes rosy and full of health. Take a flat chested child, or a child that has stopped growing, give him the oil, and he will grow big and strong like the rest. This is not anew scheme. It has been done for years. Of course you must use the right oil. Scott’s Emulsion is the one. Scott’s Emulsion neither looks nor tastes like oil because we are so careful in making it pleasant to take. Send for free sample.

There has been a great deal of premature agitation as well as speculation on the governorship, the election for which occurs over a year hence. South Georgia seems to want to furnish the man, but as yet there seems to have been no great sight of harmony on whom it should be. The race so far seems to have been an early scramble for place in the line of sprinters. Guerry is in the ring and so is Estill and B own, all good men, and others are spoken of as probable. Among the late suggestions is the follow ing from the Augusta Chronicle’s A lanta correspondent ' ‘ I am almost confident that there will be additions to the list of gu bernatoriaJ candidates. The Au gusta politicians are thinking of bringing out a man from their dis trict. Up in north Georgia many democrats favor Hon. Tom Cren shaw, Judge A. W. Fite or Con gressman Maddox. Here in At lanta there is a restless feeling, and some of the best informed men in political circles give it as their opinion that it would be an easy matter at the proper time to bring Hon. Porter King into the race as a winner.” If north Georgia should be per mitted to furnish the governor there is plenty of good timber to select from, and those named above are from the best in the grove. Judge Maddox would make a splen did governor and so would Porter King. Tom Crenshaw would hold the reins with a steady hand while Judge Fite would be the peer of any who have filled the position in years. He is large in executive ability as he is in judicial acumen and practical ideas. Why not a Bartow county man? LOCATION of model SCHOOL. The latest information about the matter of location of this school is to this effect. The Federation of Womens clubs will consider all propositions presented to them by November 1 from the various coun ties and select the school properly located as to convenience to rail roads which makes best offer as to assistance in equipping and main taining said school. It then be comes very important for the com peting communities to act at once. The county making best proposal will get the first school. Contribu tions will play the winning hand. Counties contesting for it will send in their bids by Nov. 1 to Mrs. J. Lindsay Johnson President, Rome, Ga., and she will place these bids in the hands of those whose duty it will be to consider all proposals and decide. We urge prompt action, make your bids. If yculose you will have tried, and the trying will have aroused interest in education. If you gain you will get a good thing, so gain or lose the school, good will come of your efforts.
