The other officers were duly installed, lion. -I. F. DeLacy of Kastman act ing as Grand Senior Deacon, and in this capacity his work was very impressive.

SAFE COMPANY AND SAFE BUSINESS. The Glennville 1 n vest ment Com pany is making preparations tor the division of their real estate in Glennville otr February -lr*t. ac cording to contract with purchas ers of lots. Under the plan every purchases of a share is entitled to a lot, whether it be an improved or unoccupied lot, and these will be assigned in the division on the first Monday in February. Since the suspension of one of the hanks in Glennville some comment has arisen as to the safety of the Giennville Invest- ; 'men Co. We learn directly that this rumor is entirely unfounded, and that the affairs of the com pany are in proper shape, and that all their contracts will be carried out to the letter, and pur chasers and prospect ive purchasers of their property need have no fear of irregular treatment at the hands of the company. Remember that the division of the property will come off Febru ary fird. Many will attend the division from this county, and a large crowd is expected to be tlTere on that date. A few more lots remain unsold, and if you have not made contract for some of the property you may miss a good thing in the way of.a business deal.

Doubtless most of our readers have seen something of th<‘ new postal regulation which provides that nil |! subscriptmns to any publication shall he paid I ;| tain periods, else they will not lie counted as h innate subscribers and will cause the payment of a higher rate |1 of postage by the publisher it -u*»h copi. are sent through the mails. •; This regulation applies to dailies and monthlies, |l ] as well as weekly papers, and name-a dale lor all. ;| I The new law provides that a weekly paper cannot be e sent at tin' regular rate of postage longer t loan one year lj after the dale to wliieh the subscription 1- paid, and ;| that all copies sent beyond this date will have to have e stamps affixed at a rate o. four times a- high* as the e rate now in effect. j! Tills law is put into effect in order to protect the government and llte public from illegal humis ol pub linitions—that is. papers published oul ol the com- |l mon 1 1 ny of ni'Wspaper- 11 nd magazines, and intended j| fur advertismg and other purposes,and not eonloniiing n to the common postal pitvilegsas intended by the gov- ;j ornment. THis law is not to deny the publisher the b rurht to extend credit tor his paper, but il il is sent | beyond the limit prescribed w ithout lining pa id for as j| b a bona fide subscription, the additional postage must I be paid. We trust this is plain enough. Plus law was to j| have been put in effect January first, hut additional time lias been granted, in order that all publishers may have"! 1111 cto impart the information to their patrons ]! !; and adjust their subscription books accordingly. !> The regular subscript ion to this paper is one dol |l lar per year, payable in advance, and in order to eon- ;! form to the new postal regulation, we shall begin at once marking off the names ol all subscribers who are ;! in arrears for inure t ban a year. It is enough to send ; | the paper on a credit, but when il comes to paying a !• high rate of postage in order to keep up this charitable e practice—well, we will simply not do it. Uncle ;| |! Sam. we thank you. o ;! If t here is any feat ure of I his new law a subscriber e cannot understand, please call at your postollice and jl vimir [lost muster will be glad to explain lor your in- |j | format ion and edification. j; ■0 ©©•©©;©© ©©© © 0 © ©©©a©©© o©©© © ©: I LOCAL - PERSONAL £ © © © .©: © a ;©;;©: e©©© ©© a ©©©©©©© ©©© a © © Mules, yes Myles.
