Elsewhere in this week’s News
will lie found an article hearing
tlie same caption as this editorial.
It directs attention to the immense
amount of work careless citizens of
the l uiteil States annually furnish
tlie dead letter division of the
1’ostofllcc Department. Tlie use of
reasonable care in tlie dispatch of
mail it seems would prevent not
only the work and worry to which
the dead letter olliee is subjected,
but also tlie delay and dilllcultics
which afflict the senders and re
cipients of mail matter. A simple
device is all Unit is necessary to
prevent a letter from being for
warded to the dead letter olliee, if
for any reason it eadnot be deliver
ed to tlie addressee. This device
is the name and address of tlie
sender, placed in tlie upper left
corner of the envelope. business
and professional men generally
have a printed curd placed on their
envelopes. This insures the re
turn of undelivered letters to the
senders. It is not necessary, how
ever. that names and addresses of
letter writers lie printed. They
may be written; and it is not nec
essary that they be preceded bv
the words, •‘Return after 5 (or 10 1
days.”
Patrons of the postal service
should observ e a lew plain, simple
rules in dispatching mail matter.
Write address correctly and plain
ly and stamp all matter mailed.
If in doubt as to amount of postage
required on a piece of matter, have
it weighed and stamped at the
postolliee. Place your name and
address on every piece of matter
or letter mailed. Ifit cannot lie
delivered as addressed, it will lie
returned to sender.
The observance of this last men
tioned simple rule by all patrons
of the ]K)stal service would soon
almost put the dead letter division
out of business.

It pleased our Heavenly Father
in His kind providence, to remove
from our midst on August 6, 1906,
one of our brightest gems, little
Clifton Mandeville Burks,, whose
tender age was only 14 months.
He was taken with cholera in
fantum on Sunday morning and
breathed his last late Monday even
ing. His sudden death was a
great shock to his devoted par
ents, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Burks
and his beloved brothers and sis
ters.
Though we miss him and mourn
his departure, yet we know that
our loss is his eternal gain, and we
bow ourselves in humble submis
sion to Him who holds the uni-
i verse in His Hands and has power
"/ '
to kill and make alive, and whose
grace is sufficient to strengthen us
in every hour of trial add bereave
ment.
Gone, but not Inst, our baby clear;
Gone home to glory and to God:
We meet today and drop a tear
Where rests his body ’neatli the sod.
M e extend to the bereaved fam
ily our sincerestsympathy in their
great sorrow and commend them
to the grace of our blessed Lord
and Master. “For the Lord God
is a sun and shield. No good thing
will he withhold from them that
walk uprightly.”
