BIG RUSH SUBSIDES
AT THE POSTOFFICE
INCOMING BUSINESS LARGER, OUT*
QOINQ BUSINESS 8MALLBR THAN
THAT OF LAST YEAR—VERY
HEAVY WITH REGI8TRY
DEPARTMENT.
For the first time In over ten days, the
pnatoffloe clerks of Macon quit work last
night at • o’clock. During the Christmas
rush, they were obliged to stay at the
office until ten ami twelve o'clock at
night In order to finish up their business,
nml distribute through the various chan
nels tho hundreds of packages of mall,
letters and packages, that they had re
ceived during the day.
Postmaster Kdwnids states that the
business done by the poetofflce. all de
partments Included, wus about the same
ns that of last year. While the figures
are not yet obtainable. It la not believed
that the stamp sale was any larger nor
the money order business quite so heavy.
The rvglstry window, although unusually
busy at all times, did not handle as many
packages as last year. Neither were
there as many letters mailed.
The Incoming business exceeded by far
the outgoing. That Is, there were more
letters, packages and money orders re
ceived here than were aeut away. This
Is particularly true of the registry de
partment. which distributed almost twice
as many packages ns It did last Christ
mas season. This Is accounted for In a
measure by the fact Hurt many Macon
cltlsens went elsewhere to engage In
business whan prohibition became oper
ative. and they, of course, remembered
their friends and relatives here.
Anyway, U* postofflce clerks are cer
tain that they had a plenty to do. wheth
er the business was larger or omsller.
and one of them doubtless expressed the
consensus of opinion when hs said: "I’d
quit If Christmas came twice a year."

Heretofore tho clerks have boarded
the southbound trains at Macon and
made a trip to Jacksonville and l’a-
latha. Now they will start with the
trgln at Atlanta and continue on
through to Florida. The change
was brought about, tt Is said, by
complaints that the clerks did not
have sufficient time In which to pre
pare tho mall for distribution after
boarding the train in Macon.

OCCASION.
One of the happiest events of the
Chrlstmaittde In or neui Macon was
the Christinas tree whten was given to
tho children of the Georgia Industrial
Home. ,
The getting up of the tree, soliciting
tho aid of the kind-hearted, those wilt
ing to contribute, gathering the things
all together, preparing the presents for
each Individual child, filling Christ
man stockings and making the tree
ready, was a labor of love of the Wo
man's Auxiliary of the Industrial Home
Association.
Thle has dwindled down from a once
large and efficient auxiliary to a few
faithful ones who tlnd time from the
multiplicity of their other affairs to
remember the orphaned children at tha
home In a very definite and substantial
nay, and could all have seen the Joy
and pleasure depleted on the faces of
the boys and girls around the Christ
mas tree on that afternoon, each would
renow tholr Interest In their work
