SUCH IS HOPE OF CITY OFFI

NEW COUNCILMAN.
t
•
If the plans of the city officials j
can be carried out, July Ist will see
■work on the construction of a sew
erage system for Vidalia well under
, way.
Mayor Jackson and Councilman
Harrell spent last Friday in Swains
4boro consulting with officials of that
city, who last fall had the task of
selling bonds and letting contract for j
i a sewerage system, and obtained |
many helpful suggestions from the 1
Swainsboro officials.
» Mayor Jackson is now in communi
cation with different bond ibrokers
and it is possible that the bonds will
-be sold as money is needed, which of
itself will be quite a saving to the
city. At an early date bids for the
construction of the sewer system
will be asked, and if indications point
to a satisfactory price being obtain
ed for the bonds, the contract will
' then be let.

.was' elected to fill the vacancy caus
ed by the resignation of Dr. M. J

Vidalia Flour Mill
I Now In Operation
The Vidalia Flour Mill, which has
been closed for some time owing to
the fact that there was litigation
over the plant, is now in operaion,
Messrs. G.- B. Alcorn and M. W.
Pournelle being in charge. A large
amount of wheat has been coming
in and indications point to a busy
season for the mill.
The Vidalia Flour Mill serves a
large territory and with a fair acre
age in wheat throughout this section,
farmers who raise their own wheat
find the local mill a great conven
ience. ,
RURAL CARRIERS TO BE
PAID TWICE A MONTH.
Washing, D. C.—lt will be pleasing
news to Georgia rural carriers to
learn that, beginning July Ist, rural
carriers will be pakl twice a month
instead of monthly, instructions to
that effect having been issued by
Postmaster General Hays. This will
place the rural carriers on the same
basis as other postal employes, who
have been paid bi-weekly. It is an-
V nottnced also that rural carriers who
)are prevented, after honest effort,
from performing service on their
routes by washouts and blizzards will
not be penalized, when changes of
regulations now in .course of prepa
• ration are made effective.
