Under the plan formulated for the dis
tribution of the fund it is proposed to
muke loans on cotton on a basis of 6
cents a pound for good middling. The
share of the fund allotted to Georgia is
about $20,000,000; but so many formal
ities must be observed in order to se
cure a loan it is doubtful whether far
mers as a class will find it advantage
ous to avail themselves of the priv
ilege of borrowing from it.

Mr. W. L. Brakefield, one of our
most worthy citizens, died on Saturday
last. By his death we lose one of our
best cjtizens, quiet in disposition, hon
est and upright in all his dealings with
his fellowmen, and a consistent mem
ber of the Baptist church. If he had
an enemy no one knew of it. He had
lived at Haralson and Senoia virtually
all of his life, and we never heard aught
against him. A better neighbor never
lived. Funeral services were conducted
by Dr. S. ft. Cousins, at the Baptist
church, and the interment was at Se
noia Sunday evening.— Haralson Cor.
Senoia Enterprise-Gazette.
Yesterday afternoon Sheriff Brewster
and Deputy Sherill Jackson raided a
wildcat still over near the river, in the
Fourth district. The still waB found in
a dense piece of woods, located on land
belonging to the estate of the late B.
H. Pearson, and a smouldering fire
showed that the outfit had been in op
eration only a few hours previous to
the sheriff’s visit. Four barrels con
taining about 300 gallons of mash indi
cated that preparations were being
made for another “run” in a day or so.
The mash was emptied into a branch
near by, and the distilling apparatus
broken up and brought to town, making
the fourth wildeatstill that Sheriff Brew
ster has destroyed during the past twelve
months. He has a pretty good clue as
to the identity of the parties who were
engaged in operating the plant, and
some arrests will likely follow the raid.

The Postmaster-General has issued

Second. Have parcels wrapped and
addressed before appearing at the post-
offiee windows.
Third. Prepay all postnge.
Fourth. Write address plainly, giving
street number or R. F. D. route.
Fifth. Write your name and address
in upper left-hand corner.
Sixth. Write name within parcel in
case of mutilation of wrapper.
Seventh. Pack securely in strong pa
per and with stout cord.
Eighth. Mark breakable articles “fra
gile.”
Ninth. Mark food “perishable.”
Tenth. If any writing accompanies
E arcel place it in a separate envelope
earing a 2-cent stamp.
Ample preparation for handling the
mails during the Christmas holidays
have been made th'8 year, and it is
hoped that the congestion which has
occurred heretofore will be obviated.
Patrons of the office may rest assured
that mail will be delivered to them and
to their friends promptly and safely,
provided they co-operate with the post-
office force and follow the above in
structions.

Origin of the Red Cross Seal.
Stamps on seals were first used
get money for the anti-tuberculosis
crusade in Norway and Sweden in 1904-
To Jacobs Riis, the well-known social
worker of New York, arid to Miss
Emily P. Bissell, the energetic secre
tary of the Delaware Red Cross, joiotly
belong the honor of originating our
Red Cross Christmas seal. In 1909
Mr. Riis’ interest was aroused by the
receipt of a Christmas tuberculosis
stamp on a letter from Norway. He
published an article about this queer
looking stamp in the “Outlook,” and
suggested some possible uses for it in
this country. Miss Bissell at once saw
an opportunity here and prepared a
stamp, from the sale of which her so
ciety realized $3,000 for tuberculosis
1 work. So impressed was she with this
j success that she induced the American
i Red Cross to take up the sale lit 1908
! on a national basis.- With very little
j organization ai d with hardly any |
; attempt at careful advertising the sale [
I that year brought in, nevertheless, ]
!(,vor $135,000 for anti-tubormlosi-t |

| year the isle waB inert ised ip nearly j
45 OHO,00'* seals, netting $130,000 fur
.is campaign.
