BEHIND THE SCENES.
WHAT IT IS TO BE A POSTMASTER
OR HIS ASSISTANT.
A Pleasant Chat With Assistant Post
master Henry Milner—The Post Oftica
a College for a Student of Human
Nature—lmmediate Delivery
Here.
“What's the news?” asked a Courant
reporter as he looked through the little
delivery window at the post office.
“Nothing special; come in.”
“What, inside V in the sanctum sanc
torum ; thought that was strictly pri
vate?”
“ ’Tis, generally, but the Courant
shall be specially privileged.”
“Thanks,” and the Courant man was
gracefuily ushered behind the partition
into the post ofßce proper by the genial
and popular assistant postmaster, Mr.
Henry Milner. Here the vision was met
by the gaping mouths of the boxes, in
numerable letters, papers and packages,
mail bags and pouches, stamps, stamping
machines, etc., etc.
A comfortable seat near Mr. Milner,
who sat close to the delivery window,
was tendered and accepted.
“Are you always in a hurry ?”
“Pretty generally; sometimes we are
right much rushed.”
“Post office business has some singular
features attached to it, hasn’t it?”
“Yes, indeed,” said Mr. Milner, with
a smile, “quite a number.”
“Brought face to face with a good many
queer customers?”
“Well, you just sit here awhile and
you’ll think so.”
“Fine school for a student of human
nature?”
“Yes, it is, and,” said he meditatively,
“I believe I have absorbed that faculty al
most unconsciouily to myself. It is the
natural consequence of looking into a
thousand faces more or less every week
and answering their queries. Sometimes,
as I say, I find myself making a mental
inventory of the man or woman calling
for mail. The impression an individual
makes on my mind is necessarily fleet
ing, for others take their places so soon
at the window.”
“Don’t you sometimes lose your head
and look in the wrong box when the
pretty girls flock about the windows and
ask for mail ?”
“Not now, got over that, it did confuse
me at first, but I stand the bright eyes
and charming smiles like a veteran now.’
“Do you eyer notice the vast difference
in the voices of those who come for their
mail?”
“My! my! Yes, indeed, and, by the
way, do you know the intonation of a
voice is oftentimes an index to a person’s
character.”
“That’s so. Well, what’s the strangest
thing that has happened here lately?”
“The strangest thing. Let me think.
O, yes; the ‘Smith’ box was empty the
other day, that’s the strangest thing on
record in this office.”
“What’s the Smith box?”
“Well, you see, we have a box es
pecially tor all letters that are addressed
to the Smiths coming to the general de
livery, and a few days ago we discovered
to our surprise that there wasn’t a Smith
letter on hand. We thought this so queer
that we called Judge Wikle’s attention
to it, and he said that in all the fifteen
years he was postmaster such a thing
never occurred. I felt kind of lonesome
at first without a letter for one of the
Smiths on hand, but I feel proud in the
belief that we have beat the record on it
anyhow.”
“People ask for strange names some
times?”
“Rather. What do you think of Elip
haz Winkelsprint, Aris Fromsdebargen,
Sol Bookleaf ? and—well I can’t begin to
recall them.”
“Ficticious names, ain’t they?”
“May be they are, some of them, but
these jaw breakers are usually called for
by strangers.”
“Don’t folks try your patience a great
deal?” u u .
“Yes, they do,” he replied, but his
pleasant smile and soft voice didn’t cor
roborate the statement. “Sometimes,”
he continued, “people come here, ask
for letters and getting none, turn away
disappointed, aud I often hear their dis
contented mutterings and such expres
sions as, ‘I know there is one, I don’t
believe he looked.”
“Every mail you have a big crowd of
people here?”
“Yes. they always come after every
train why, do you know, I have known
men to come here shortly after the ar
rival of a freight train, thinking the
mails were brought on that too.
“What’s your busiest day ?”
“Saturday by long odds. You see
many of the laborers and farm hands
come into town that day and we are rush
ed, especially in the evening, both in
mailing and delivering mail. We receive
the heaviest mail on Sunday.”
“Has your mail increased since you
have been here ?” . .
“Very much, indeed; the Constitution
and Courant have both increased in cir
culation so much that they mark a great
increase in the business at this office.
“Who gets the largest mail in town .
“D W. Curry & Cos., I think gets the
largest firm mail, but Rev. Sam Jones
gets the biggest individual mail. I have
Sen times when I couldn’t get any more
mail in his box, and its a good size box
to “*Any new postal laws lately?”
“O ves they are without end; postal
laws,’ regulations and changes Are inter
minable. Some man remarked once he
didn’t believe a man would be perfect in
the mail service if he lived a thousand
y6 “What’s the latest important order ?”
“All offices, irrespective of the popula
tion of the place, are made immediate
defivery offices, before this only certain
sized cities had this immediate delivery.
This took effect on the Ist inst.
“How far from the post office will the
immediate deliveries be made?”
“One mile only, so you see it won t
helD small country towns much. We
send them out by a boy we have and pay
him eight cents for every such letter he
people sometimes just put a ten
cent delivery stamp on and neglect the
its pretty fjr
from an immediate delivery as they are
ken™ in the oilice until the party to whom
they are addressed answers a card we
send them telling of the letter and tie
a^r/d ln if P yo g don’t hear from them,
"nThey are sent to the dead letter office
I w\ahino-ton One great trouble we
in Washi g ig legible addresses,
Sanscrit Egyptian heiroglyphics or
S aohy would be of service to us.
Afi 1 improperly directed missives are sent

Ee office is stamped the day it comes
and I go over them onoe a week, those
remainink here a month uncalled for are
aent to Washington. People send al
most everything by mall. The worst
thing I’ve seen was an old razor, or part
of one, it hadn’t any handle to speak of,
and not much of a blade either.”
“The rivets were good, w r ant they ?”
“Chestnut! I’ll tell you the greatest
trouble we have,” continued Mr. Milner,
“and that is box rent. You know the
government does not permit us the exer
cise of any discretion whatever in that
matter. The law requires that the rent
be paid in advance quarterly, and if it is
not paid within ten days after notice is
given they arc closed up or rented to
somebody else.”
“Something like collecting subscrip
tions tor a weekly paper?”
“Now you hit it, that’s just about the
size of it.”
At this juncture Mr. Milner looked at
his watch and discovered that it was time
to make up the mail, and gathering up
all the letters and papers in the basket
for mailing, piled them on the stamping
table and his dextrous lingers fairly flew
in his rapid manipulation of the stamp
and cancellor.
While the reporter was holding his con
versation with Mr. Milner that gentleman
was interrupted fifty times at least by
different parties at the window with a
multitude of requests, such as change for
money, stamps, postal cards, inquiry for
letters, when the next mail would go or
come, etc., etc., to all of which this
right man in the right place invariably
gave prompt and pleasant answers. One
old darkey came up and asked him how
he sold stamps, he was told. “Well,”
said he, “if I bies as much as three of
them thar two cent ones can’t I get ’em
at five cents ?” He was told the govern
ment had but one price, and paid it re
luctantly.
When the Courant reporter retired he
was sure of one thing and that was that
few if any of the people who profit by the
labors of a postmaster and his assistants
realize the immense amount of work
done in a post office and the vexations
and preplexities that continually com
fort these servants of the government.
The people who use the post office in
Cartersville have every reason for con
gratulation that they have such good and
competent men to run it as Mr. William
Milner, the postmaster, and his son, his
efficient assistant, W. 11. Milner.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
And Building Committee, of the Sam.
Jones Female College Meet, and
Call a Meeting of the
Stockholders for
Saturday
Next.
The board of directors of the Sam
Jones Female College met pursuant to a
call, at the office of Baker <fc Hall, on
Monday evening. There were present,
Mayor John H. Wikie, chairman and
the following members, Messrs. W. C.
Baker, C. H. Smith, J. W. Akin, W. H.
Howard. Mr. Wallace, of Talladega,
was present by invitation and spoke of
the new College building at that place.
The minutes of the first meeting of
the directors was read by the Secretary
and approved. It was directed to spread
the names of the subscribers to the stock
of the college, on the minutes.
Mr. John W. Akin reported to the
board that he had, as requested, prepar
ed the deed from the Cartersville Union
Tabernacle trustees to this corporation,
to all of the ground except two lots ly
ing immediately on the west side of the
proposed line, embracing an area of 125
x 357 feet, all the balance of the land is
in the deed. The trustees of the taberna
cle Association informed him that those
two lots were the Dyer and Wikie lots
and the titles to them have not yet been
secured to the tabernacle association.
They expect to get the title soon and
when they do they propose to make the
college a title to them. The absence, by
sickness of Mr. Pattillo, prevented Mr.
Akin knowing whether the deed was
signed or not, but by the next meeting it
would probably be all arranged.
The Secretary then read letters re
ceived from Architects, and submitted
a drawing to the meeting, sent by Archi
tect Lind of Atlanta.
A considerable amount of desultory
conversation was indulged in by the
members, after which Mr. Akin moved
that the board of directors call a meeting
of the stockholders for Saturday the 16th
inst., at 10 o’clock a. m. in the Opera
House here, and the secretary be in
structed to have this call published in
each of the city papers this week and
that he mail (to-morrow) Tuesday a pos
tal card to each of the stockholders in
forming them of this meeting and re
questing them to be present or to have
someone to represent them by written
proxies, and that the treasureer be in
structed to pay for the cards and print
ing of them.
This motion was Adopted.
Mr. W. H. Howard moved that two
members of the building committee be
requested to go both to Atlanta and
Rome, make examination of public school
buildings there and get what information
they can from architects and report back
to their committee, the building commit
tee to select the two members to go on
this errand adopted.
The board then ajourned until Satur
day next at 10 a. m.
the building committee
then met with Mayor Wikie in the chair,
and Messrs. W. C. Baker, J. W. Akin
and R. N. Hudson present.
Some general talk as to who would
form the coramitte to go to Atlanta and
Rome was engaged in and other matters
generally passed upon, but no definite
action was taken, except to instruct the
chairman and Secretary to dontinue to
write to architects, and the committee
adjourned until Saturday next.

A GOOD OPENING.
A Flue Chance for a Foundryraan.
A magnificent opportunity is offered
here for a first-class foundry man, as a
number of enterprising citizens have sig
nified their desire to put in one hundred
dollars each for the purchase of the foun
dry property here, to
he sold or rented to an efficient and hon
est artisan, on time, at six per cent in
terest. It is hoped that a competent and
acceptable man will take advantage of
this offer. Cartersville needs a foundry
and a good business would be promised
an industrious man. There are many
engines in this county, perhaps as many
as in any other part of North Georgia,
and they are more or less constantly need
ing repairs. It is sometimes necessary
to send thousands of miles tor brasses.
Who will be the man to grasp this
splendid opportunity ? There is no foun
dry here, hence no competition to be
fought, beside plenty of time will be allow
ed the purchaser to pay for the property.

OLEOMARGARINE,
TOE NEW LAW ABOUT BOGUS
PUTTER.
Description of How it Is Almle. —An In
teresting Interview With Deputy
Collector A. W. Fite.
Mr. A. W. Fite, deputy collector of in
ternal revenue for this district, said to a
Courant man yesterday that after the
31st day of October all the manufacturers
of oleomargarine will be required to
stamp tlieir packages after the manner
tobacco is stamped, and are required to
pay two cents per pound for every pound
manufactured.
In reply to the question as to what
would be required of the wholesale and
retail dealers handling oleomargarine,
Mr. Fite said,
“All the wholesale dealers will have to
pay a tax of $448 per annum to enable
them to handle oleomargarine or butcer
ine, and the retail dealers are required to
pay a tax of S4B per annum tor selling it.
The wholesale dealer is not allowed un
der the law to sell it in quantities of less
than ten pounds, and the retailer cannot
sell more than ten pounds to a purchaser.
Both the wholesale and retail dealers are
required to stamp upon each package
sold, the name of their firm, together
with the fact that it is oleomargarine or
butterine.
Mr. Fite said he had not found any
dealers of bogus butter in this city or
section and he was of the opinion that
none was sold about here.
Questioned as fo what oleomargarine
and butterine really is, Mr. Fite gave the
following interesting description of its
component parts and process of manufac
ture :
“Pure butterine or oleomargarine is
not deleterious as people think; it is made
of the leaf lard of the hog, and really
there is but little difference between oleo
margarine and butterine, the best is made
of leaf lard which is cooled and washed
in ice water until it is perfectly cold,
then it is cut in fine pieces by machinery
and put into a heater at about 150 de
grees Fahrenheit, not hot enough to boil
bus to melt; when it has melted it is
put into a press and the pure lard is sep
arated from any impure matter it may
contain, then they mix with this pure
lard from five to twenty-five per cent of
pure butter, and together it is churned in
sweet milk which gives it all the odor
and flavor of pure butter; coloring is
then added. After this process it is a
difficult matter to distinguish the bogus
from the genuine article.”
Mr. Fite thought that the effect of the
new law would be to break up the busi
ness of bogus butter dealing to a great
extent and said he quaintly, “It will
give the old cow a fair chance now.”
All persons who intend to deal in this
article, will nave to take out a license by
the first of the month. This will add
considerably to the revenue of the gov
ernment, not so much in the south as the
north, and will paotect the dairymen
throughout the country and an honest
farmer with one cow will now stand a
better chance than before.
One point Mr. Fite made, was an es
pecially good one. He said that there
would doubtless be efforts made to vio
late the law, just like in the manufacture
of, whisky, but the violators of the oleo
margarine law should recollect that they
have a different class of people to deal
With than whisky men, for the women
all over the land will constitute them
selves detectives, and there are none bet
ter, and as soon as they detect any bogus
butter they’ll be sure to inform against
the dealers if they have not complied
with the law.

Some Karo Old Books.
Mr. James W. Rich, of this place, is
the owner of several old and rare law
books, which he has deposited in Tub
Coukant office for examination by law
yers or lovers of the antiquated. Two
of them especially are so antique and val
uable, that the biliomaniac would go in
to ecstacies over them. One of them is
the first part of the institutes of the laws
of England or a commendatory upon Lit
tleton, “not the name of the author on
ly, bnt the law itself.” “Autliore Ed
wardo Coke, Milite.” This is of the 14th
edition with notes by Lord Chief Justice
Hale and Lord Chancellor Nottingham,
and “An Analysis of Littleton written
by an unknown hand in 1658, but never
before published.” The book was p.int
ed in 1771. It i3 16 inches long, 10 inch
es wide and 3 inches in depth, and is
substantially bound in leather.
The other book is more antique, having
been printed 1669, and is entitled “The
third part of the institutes of the laws of
England, concerning high treason and
other pleas of the crown, and criminal
causes. These hooks would be a valua
ble acquisition to any library, law or oth

A WONDERFUL IMAGE.
Mr. J. VV. Sikes, who rents a portion
of Mr. William Burge’s farm about two
miles from Stileshoro, brought to the city
yesterday a wonderful image cut out of
stone, of some ancient worship. He dug
it up on Raccoon creek last Saturday.
The image is 21 inches high and about 10
inches broad. It is clearly chiseled and
smooth as marble. The stone has some
thing of the appeuranee of granite,
though slightly softer, and has in it mi
nute particles of a silvery substance.
The features are clear and perfect. It is
a rare relic, and one doubtless that the
regents of the Smithsonian Institute in
Washington would like to possess Mr.
Sikes will be on the look out for other
rich finds now. The idol, or whatever it
is, is on exhibition at the Courant office
and has attracted a great deal of atten
tion.

I have been troubled with Acute In
flamatory Rheumatism for many years.
1 have tried every remedy I could hear
of, but could get no permanent relief.
Finally I was prevailed upon to try
HUNNICUTT’S RHEUMATIC CURE.
After taking one bottle I began to im
prove, and when I had taken six bottles
I was sound and well. I nave not been
as free of rheumatism for forty-five years,
and Ilunnieutt’s Rheumatic Cure is en
titled to all the credit. Ido not believe
th p re is a case of Acute Inflamatory or
Chronic Rheumatism your remedy will
not cure, if taken according to directions
and perseveiel m. I have advised many
of my friends to use it, and in not a single
case has it failed to cure.

A COW’S ADVENTURE.
She Visits ami Causes a Disturbance in
the Sunday-School.
It was a pretty church, and all
about it were fields of daisies, and
sweet-smelling clover. Now when
Buttercup went to this church, she did
not go to the regular service, hut to
Sunday-school. Buttercup was a large,
yellow cow, who belonged in a field
next to the church, in which she ought
to have staid. There was plenty of
nice grass there for her breakfast, din
ner and supper. But Buttercup, like
a good many people, wanted a change,
and when she saw all the boys and
girls going into the church door, she
thought she would like to go. She
tried all the rails of the fence till she
found one that was loose. Then she
jerked her head up and down, till sho
unfastened it so she could crawl
through on her knees.
The Sunday-school had begun by
this time, but Buttercup did not mind
that. She walked into the church
quietly, and as the children and their
teachers were all singing, no ono
noticed her at first. The children
were sitting in the pews nearest the
chancel, so Buttercup got half way up
the aisle before any ono saw her.
Then one little boy turned his head.
He was so frightened his hymnal fell
on the floor; and he cried out: “Oh,
see the cow!” Then it seemed as if
every body screamed. One of the
teachers got on top of the little cabinet
organ, and two or three stood up on
the seats.
Buttercup, however, paid uo atten
tion to them. She saw a nice red apple
sticking out of a boy’s pocket, and she
thought she would like to have it. The
boy, who was Jack Nieholls, did not
know what she wanted, so when she
came near he jumped over into the
next pew and knocked little Daisy
Finlay’s hat off, and that made Daisy
cry.
What Buttercup would have done
n6xt I don’t know; so many people
cried: “Shoo!” and there was so much
noise, she might have got frightened
herself, and a frightened cow can do a
great deal of damage in a church; but
Miss Lloyd, who was the superinten
dent, called to every one to bo quiet.
Then two or three of the bigger boys
said if they had a stick they thought
they could get her out. But Miss
! Lloyd spoke again:
“If there is any boy here whom the
j cow knows,” she said, “I think she
would follow him out, and that would
bo better than trying to drive her.”
“She’s my grandfather’s cow,” said
Bruce Smith, “and I guess she will
follow me,” So he went in front of
her and called “Buttercup, Butter
cup!” and, sure enough, she went after
him.
Now the vestry door was open, and
just opposite that was another door
opening out on the grass. As soon as
Buttercup caught sight of the nice
grass, she ran out and began to nibble
the fresh bits around the doorstep.
Then, as much as to say “good-bye,”
she kicked up her feet, tossed her head
and trotted off to her own field— Little
Men and Women.
