SPECIAL DELIVERY
RULES MODIFIED,
HEREAFTER TEN CENTS iN ANY KiND OF
STAMPS WILL INSURE IMMEDIATE
DELIVERY.
Under a new postoffice rnle
which became effected Monday
morning, duly 1, it is no longer
necessary to place a special delivery
stamp on a letter to insure immed
iate delivery. Ten cents in stamps
of any denomination in addition to
regular postage will accomplish the
same result as the “special stamp
provided instructions for immed
iate delivery are written plainly
across the envelope,
The new regulation will prove a
great convenience to the public. It
has often been the case heretofore
that persons wishing to get off an
important letter save being hinder
ed from doing so.because the par
ticular department of the post
office which sold special delivery
stamps happened not to be open.
On Sundays this was epecially so.
Realizing this the government has
changed the requirements. In the
future ten cents in stamps will be
equivolent to a special delivery
stamp.

M'DONQUGH WINS
BOTH GAMES.
In the double-header between
kcDonough and Royal Insurance
Company, of Atlanta, last Satur
day, the McDonotfgh boys won both
games easily, taking the first by a
score of 11 to 2 and the second by a
score of 9 to 2.
It was not the weakness of the
visiting team, that lost them the
game but the strong team and tine
playing of the home boys that gave
them such a complete and decisive
victory over these visiting boys.
The game was well attended and
much enthusiam manifested
throughout the two games.
The McDonough boys have not
suffered hut one defeat this season,
and that was a close contest be
tween Barnesville and the home
team.

NOBLE YOUNG LACY
PASSES TO GREAT
BEYOND.
Not for a long time has such a
sad wave of sorrow passed over Mc-
Donough and each heart bowed
down with such intense and poig
nant grief as on Sunday morning
when it was announced the Resist
less Rrapey had passed over the
town and claimed one of the bright
est and most loved jewels of the
entire community, the Death An
gel hearing the sweet and noble
spirit ot Miss Raleigh A'. Glass to
the Great Beyond early Sunday
morning after an illness of five
weeks with typhoid fever.
While all realized that she was
very sick yet just the day before it
seemed that probably the crises in
her illness had been passed and
that she would soon be on the road
to a complete recovery but late Sat
urday afternoon a change for the
worse came and she gradually grew
worse until about 2 :B0 o'clock Sun
day morning when her pure and
gentle spirit p issed the spirit land
of the blessed.
She was one of the brightest,
noblest and sweetest young ladies
of the town, and lacked only four
days of being seventeen years old.
When she was about twelve
years old she joined the church and
since that time she has lived a no
ble and devoted Christian life, her
zeal and work for the blessed
Christ being suoh linit people of
much older and nmturer lives
would do well to follow her exam
ple as a pure and sincere follower
of the lowly Christ.
She was one of seven girls in the
graduating class this year at the
AlcDonough public school, and up
to the time of her sickness she was
the leader in her class of bright and
beautiful young ladies, and it was
the source of much disappointment
to her class and every pupil and
teacher of the school that she was
not able to be present during the
closing days of the school. When
quite young she was adopted by
her uncle, Mr. and Mis. N. A.
Glass, were as fondly attached to
her as if she had been tl eir own
daughter. She was the daughter
of Mr. and Airs. AV. L. Glass, of
near Flippen. She is survived by
her parents, one brother and live
sisters.
The funeral was held from the
Methodist church Monday aftej
noon at one o'clock, Rev. J E.
England officiated assisted by Revs
C. Y. Weathers and J. M. Sewell.
The interment was in the McDon
ough cemetery.
A very large concourse of friends
and relatives followed the remains
to their last resting place, attest
ing the high esteem and love in
which she was held by all who
knew her.
The Weekly extends sincere and
deepest sympathy to Sheriff and
Mrs. Glass, her father and mother
and all the sorely bereaved frriends
and relatives.

you come to help ns, we need you,
it is your work, you should he in
terested. We think the Sunday
School one of the best agencies for !
pointing the child’s hope upward, !
as its chief aim is to teadh the ;
word of God to learn more of the
way and to help each other in I
studying the Book, and singing
praises to our God.
Allow me to say, we would be
glad if each school that has not
given any thing for the Orphans, !
would bring or send something, !
you certainly are in favor of help- j
ing the Orphans’ home.
Pleasant Hill gave $21.00, Libor
•ty Hill $5.25, Bethany $4 57, Me !
Donough Presbyterian SIO.OO, col
lection at Alt. Carmel $5.25. It bus
been decided to divide equally all j
we can raise between the Aletho-,
dist, Baptist and Presbyterian Or
phan Homes.
Tdo not think there is a school
in the county but what can help us
in this cause, remember what Je
sus said. He that givetli a cup of
cold water to one of these little
etc not only do I believe you can
give but that God will bless the
gift. AVe have invited the Govern
or Elect, to bo with us on that day.
So we expecting a fine address we
will try to secure Judges outside
of the county, for the schools that
contest for the banner, come, let
him that readeth say come and
bring well filled baskets, come. ,
