PATRONS OF RURAL
TO MAKE MINOR
Patrons Asked to Co-Operate
With Carriers For Improve
ment of Service—Painting
Boxes White With Name in
Neat Black Letters Is Sug
gested.
(The following article Is reproduced
from the R. F. D. News at the request
lof our good friend. Ned Beazley, of
I Stllesboro, first president of the Bar
t tow County Rural Carriers’ Assocla
tion. We Invite its careful considera
tion at the hands of our readers).
Patrons of rural delivery service will
be called upon by the rostofflce De
partment to do their share towad keep
ing this important arm of the postal
service at Its present high standad.
This decision was reached at the de
partment this week and plans are being
laid to wage publicity campaigns In
every state In the Union to Impress up
on patrons ,of rural service that they
Cartersville,
Georgia
SERVICE URGED
IMPROVEMENTS
should appreciate Its daily benefits
sufficiently to exert themselves In its
behalf whenever an occasion presents
Itself.
In the campaign particular attention
of the patrons will be directed to the
following subjects:
Replacement of obsolete mail boxes
Painting boxes white and inscribing
names of owners In neat black letters.
Placing of boxes on the proper side
of the road.
Keeping a supply of stamps on hand
In order that carrier’s time can be
saved and his efficiency increased.
Following Is the official statement of
the Postoffice Department concerning
the subjects:
Patrons of rural delivery are asked
to co-operate with the Postofflce De
partment In Improving the service.
The Postoffice Department Is giving
attention at this time to the boxes of
patrons on rural routes, in an endeavor
to secure an improvement as well as
uniformity in their appearance, and
also in their general condition and lo
cation.
It is confidently believed that the
millions of families receiving the al
most immeasurable benefits of this ser
vice at practically no direct cost to
them will be very glad to co-operate
with the department in its efforts in
this direction if the subject is but
brought to their notice.
Painting of Boxes.
In March last postmastrs were re
quested to appeal to patrons on the
rural routes from their offices to paint
their boxes white and to inscribe the
names of the owners on the boxes in
neat black letters of about one inch
In height.
There has been a very gratifying re
sponse to this request, but there is still
very much to be done. It Is believed,
that as the work progresses
the improvement will be so notable that
those who have not complied with the
request will be actuated to do so from
civic pride and an unwillingness to be
conspicuous by failure to take part in a
general movement of community bet
terment of this kind.
Replacement of Boxes.
While this work is being done it is
hoped that the patrons will complete
the improvement by furnishing new
approved boxes in every instance that
the one now in use is of an obsolete
type or In an unserviceable condi
tion, and that they will erect their new
boxes on suitable, well-appearing .sup
ports. The posts should be erect and
firmly planted, and the boxes should be
level and of a height convenient for the
carier in deliverying and collecting
mail.
Relocaiton of Boxes.
Before replacing boxes the patrons
should inquire of the postmaster or he
carrier whether It is necessary that all
of these boxes should be on the right
hand side of the road It has been
found necessary to require that they
be so placed in all cases where it is
impracticable for the carrier to crossf
from one side of the road to the other
in serving boxes, because if he did so
he would run the risk of personal In
jury or of damage to the mail, or would
violate state or local ordinances in re
spect to the use of roads.
Signals.,
A change in practice was recently au
thorized in connection with the use of
signals on rural mall boxes. Under the
pactice peviously followed the signals
on the boxes were raised by the car
riers when they deposited mail, and it
frequently happened that the patrons
either failed to visit the boxes before
the next trip of the carrier or failed to
lower the signals, with the result In
either case, that the carrier was under
the necessity of stopping at the boxes
to determine whether they held mail
for collection and dispatch.
As this needlessly delayed the car
riers and as it had been concluded
that the raising of the signal when mail
was deposited was of little value to pat
rons, since they as a rule make It a
\ practice to examine their boxes each
i day to ascertain whether they contain
i mail, it was concluded to be in the in
j terest of the service as well as of the
| carrier, to relieve the carriers of the
- necessity of raising the signal when de
! positing mall. It is believed that the
i observance of this new rule will mate
| rially improve the service and will be
I entirely acceptable to the patrons when
they become accustomed to it.
Unstamped Mail.
Patrons of rural delivery would aid
the carriers very maternally in the per
i formance of their duties and at the
same time speed up the service if they
would, whenever possible, keep them-
I selves supplied with stamps or stamped
envelopes so that their mail matter
I could be properly prepaid. The carriers
J are exceedingly accommodating and
more than willing to do everything that
1 they properly can tor the convenience
|of the patrons. The patrons should
show their appreciation of the efforts
! which the carriers make by relieving
them of the very annoying require
i ment of collecting unstamped mail and
the money in payment for the postage
thereon, the necessity for doing so be
ing particularly burdensftme in cold
weather when it is extremely difficult
for the carriers to handle change even
when wrapped in paper or placed in
coin holders.
It is hoped that a full understanding
by the patrons of the purposes of the
officials of the department in connec
tion with the rural delivery will prove
helpful to the service.

Kingston, Ga., July 5. —(Special.)—
Mrs. Florence Lumpkin, of Quitman, is
the guest of her sister,Mrs. Claude Ken
nedy. Mrs, Lumpkin is well remem
bered as Miss Florence Cobb, one of
the most popular young ladies ever in
Kingston, which was her girlhood
home.
Mrs. Max Scheuer and son Adolph,
of Catersville, and Mrs Will Sims, of
Atlanta, motored up and spent Friday
with Mrs. E. K. VanMetre. Mrs. Simms

and Mrs. Calhoun Rollins.
If two sixes make twelve, wny weren’t
Mrs. Pratt's twin girls a dozen years
old last week when they had a birth
day party, instead of only six? All
the small people in the neighborhood
helped celebrate the event, and de
cided it was perhaps an advantage that
the years were no more, as it gives a
chance for more parties. Of course,
there had to be two cakes, or how could
the candles be blown out, and other
jjgodies appropriate to such festivities,
with games and laughter. Congratula
tions must be doubled, both for parents
and children.
Purely social was the meeting of the
history club Thursday afternoon, with
Mrs. Claude Irby for hostess. Fifteen
members were present and enjoyed a
pleasant, informal hour, together with
refreshments, iced tea and a variety of
novel sandwiches and other relishes.
A "silver tea" will take the place of
the July meeting, to be held in the Sun
day school room of the Methodist
church, ‘unless other plans are made.
Committee announcements will be
made later.
Rev. W A. Simmons went to Rome
Tuesday and enjoyed a game of golf
at the Country Club, being the guest
of Dr. Betts.
Miss Florence Bruce visited the Miss
es McMakin Saturday.
Preaching day at the Methodist
church brought out quite a good sized
congregation, who were rewarded by a
helpful sermon, in Brothers Simmons’
usual unaffected style.
Mr. John McGuire is one farmer who
is not worrying about the boll weevil.
’Cause why He hasn’t planted any
cotton for the past year or two, prefer
ring corn and feed stuff. He has In over
Ia hundred acres of corn on his planta-
I tion, plenty of oats, some wheat, and
lis trying out O-Too-Tan and Hung
beans, also has several acres In field
peas, with more seed to plant later on.
The McGuire farm is of historic inter
est, being one of those won in the state
lottery when the Cherokee country was
sold to settlers. It was bought by his
grandfather, Jesse Nevil, and has re
mained in the family nearly a hundred
years.
Mrs. J. T. Bailey is expecting several

Kingston.
Dr. J. D, Bradley was in Atlanta the
greater part of last week.
Cecil Stewart returned from Detroit,
Mich.. Sunday night, where he has been
employed by the Ford Motor company.
He says about 30,000 men have been
laid off up there, and as he had not
been well since his arrival In Detroit,
decided that home was the best place,
after all.
Mrs. L. G. Darnell, <sf Cartersville,
spent Saturday and Sunday with her
sister-in-law, Mrs. L M, Vincent.
Mrs. William Barrett, of Atlanta, and
Mr. and Mrs. Grover Scott, of Macon,
visited Mr. H. G. Scott last w r eek. Sun

Monday Mrs, Barrett joined her hus
band on his way to Dalton to spend
the Fourth with his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. Joe Barrett.
Messrs Wright and Flemister, of
Rome, who recently purchased the
Gaines mill, two miles from Kingston,
came Saturday to confer with the town
council with reference to their plan to
furnish the town with electric light
generated by the water power from
their plant. This would be a good
thing for Kingston if it could be se-
I cured at a reasonable rate.
I Word came over the railroad wire
1 Monday that Mr. A. C. Taylor, travel
ing auditor for the N., C. & St. L. rail
way, died suddenly in Nashville that
morning and would be buried in Chat-,
tanooga Tuesday. Mr. Taylor was one
of the most ppoular employes ever en
rolled by this company and his un
timely taking away is 'regretted by all
with whom he came in contact.
County Agent Charles Cox srates that
some of the farmers in this vicinity are
doing good work along new lines Mr.
Jim White, who bought the Chapman
farm, just outside of town planted
10,000 Bermuda onion plants last spring
and has already sold *55 worth of on
ions, with at least five more crates, or
a total value of SIOO. Mr. George Fi
ror, orchard specialist from the State
Agricultural College, inspected Mr.
White’s farm recently, and said he had
one of the best young home orchards
in Georgia. It contains fine varieties
of apples, peaches and cherries, with
peanuts and watermelons growing in
between the rows. The trees are in a
flourishing condition.
Gordon Rogers is making good with a
grain crop. He has been terracing his
hilly land, which will greatly enhance
Jts value and productivity. Most of
his plowihg is being done with a trac
tor.
Three Kingston farmers are shipping
cream to Rome every week. A glance
at the MoMakin pasture, with its rip
pling creek, lush grass, and contented
stock is a sight for sore eyes, com
pared with the sick-looking cotton in
■some nearby fields.
Mr. Cox says that the chicken car
that stopped at Cartersville last-week
purchased 2,000 pounds of poultry, pay
ing 26c for fryers and 16c for hens, or
about S4OO all told This jyas the sec
ond car so far this year, both together
purchasing in the neighborhood of
SI,OOO worth of the surplus poultry in
that locality.

Every 30 x 3H tire user recognizes “USCO” as

The users of ”U SCO,” know it as a money’s

and that has maintained its leadership.
