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 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 brought her small daughter, Mary Hill, to make the acquaintnace of her Jolly relatives, who found her a most beau tiful baby. Miss Ella Jones, of Varnoa, Tenn., is spending the summer with her grand parents, Mr, and Mrs. J. C. Rollins. v Ms. Ed Pratt entertained a number of the young ladies and gentlemen Fri day evening of last week in honor of Miss Sarah Kitchens, of Atlanta, who is spending the summer with Mrs. Hol comb' at her country home near King ston The guest list included Miss Kitchens, Misses Pauline Kennedy, Ruth and Virginia Moore, Avis Martin and her cousin, Miss Roberts, of At lanta; Sarah Pratt, Messrs. Isaac Rol lins, Damon Gilbert, Crawford Ken nedy, Fred Abston, Will Martin, Mr. 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 of her childen for a family reunion on Jouly Fourth, among them Mrs. K E. Martin, of Cartersville; Mr. and Mrs. W, Y. Bailey, of Atlanta; Mr. Whit Bai ley. of Alabama, and Mr. Watt Bailey, of Rome; Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Bailey, of 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 day they drove to Adairsville, and on 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.
