It iB the adopted policy of the
postoffice department of the United
States government to establish free
delivery of mail matter in all rural
communities where .the requirements
of the department are complied with.
The first requirement is that there
shall be at least 100 families on the
route to be served, and that the
round trips of the carrier shall not
be less than 20 miles nor more than
30 miles. The service will be daily,
and the route should be so arranged
that the carrier will not travel over
the same road twice on the same
day.
Each head of a family is required
to place a lock box on the public
road, he and the carrier each to
have a key, in which the carrier will
deposit mail, and take therefrom
such mail as has been placed there
to be posted at the distributing
postoffice.
Whenever a rural free delivery
route has been established, the star
route postoffices will be discontin
ued. The carrier will be paid a fixed
salary, not more than $500 a year,
required to give a bond, and his du
ties clearly defined.
Carriers will not be required to
deliver tnjul at housee away from
the main road, except registered
mail, special delivery and pension
letters.
In petitioning for a free delivery
route only heads of families must
sign, giving number in each family
over 16 years of age, distance neoes-
sary to travel to nearest postoffioe,
principal occupation of the people,
whether the section is densely or
sparsely settled, and character of
roads. When a petilion is signed,
the route and distributing postoffice
having been selected, it should be
sent to the representative in con
gress, upon whose endorsement the
establishment of the route often de
pends.
The postmasters at offices on rail
roads have the necessary official in
structions, and will furnish the same
to parties wishing to petition for a
free rural delivery route.
Application to postmasters at of
fices from which suoh routes may be
served will secure the necessary in
formation. The Home Journal will
gladly assist in the necessary appli
cation for any route desired.
There iB one route in Houston,

For seventy-fivo years The Youth’s
Companion has been published every
week as a family paper. In these
75 years the paper’s constancy to a
high standard has won the confi
dence of the American people. It
has kept pace with the growth of
the country. Its stories, its special
articles, its editorials its selections
represent all that is best in American
life. For 1902 the foremost men
and women of the English speaking
world have been enlisted as con/rib-
utors. The work of an unprecedent-
ed number of new and promising
writers has also been secured. Thus
the constantly increasing demand
for the best reading suited to all
members of the intelligent American
household will be fully met.
A 28-page prospectus of the 1902
volume and sample copies of the pa
per will be sent free to any address.

ing $1.75, will receive all the issues
for the remaining weeks of 1901

As usual, local legislation has
dominated the present session of the
Georgia General Assembly, to the
disadvantage of matters of general
importance. An amendment to the
state constitution could provide a
means of granting and amending lo
cal charters, and a uniform method
of county autonomy that would pro
hibit much of the costly legislative
work of a purely local character and
of no value to the state as a whole.
From A Hotel Landlord.
Dear SirsI had no faith in
testimonials or advertised medi
cines until I took Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin, my attention being
called to it by a letter from some
one who had been cured of what
he called chronic constipation,
and I began taking it for my case.
If any one who reads this has
Constipation or Stomach Trouble,
I earnestly recommend Dr. -Cald
well’s Syrup Pepsin. My one ex
perience and complete cure
prompts me to promise that you
will find it will do all that is
claimed for it. Reap.,

“Something New Under

All dootors have tried to cure Catarrh
by the use of powders, acid gases, inhal
ers and drugs in paste form. Their pow
ders dry up the mucous membranes,
causing them to crack o{>en and bleed.
The powerful ucids used in the inhalers
have entirely eaten away the same mem
branes that their makers have aimed to
cure, while the pastes and ointments can
not reach the disease. An old and expe
rienced praotitioner who has for many
years made a dose study and specialty
of the treatment of Catarrh, has at last
perfected a treatment which, when faith
fully u.-'od, not only relieves once, but
permanently cures Catarrh, by remov
ing the cause, stopping the discharges
and ouring all inflammation. It is the
only remedy known to science that ac
tually readies the afflicted parts. This
wonderful remedy is known as “Snutf-
flebthe Guaranteed Catarrh Care”
and is sold at the extremely low price of
One Dollar, eaoh package containing in
ternal and external medicine sufficient
for a full month’s treatment and every
thing necessary to its perfect use.
“Snuffles” is the only, perfeot Ca
tarrh Curb ever made and is now rec
ognized as the only safe and positive
cure for that annoying and disgusting
disease. It cures all inflammation quick
ly and permanently, and is also wonder
fully quick to relieve Hay Fever or
Cold in the Head.
Catarrh when negleoted often leads to
CoNSUMPTioN-“Snuflle8” will save you
if you use it at once. It is ho ordinary
remedy, but a complete treatment which
is positively guaranteed to cure Catarrh
in any form or stage if used according
to the directions which accompany eaoh
package. Don’t delay, but send for it at
once, and write full particulars as to
your condition, and you will receive epe-
P (
oial advico from the disooverer of this

Hon. DuPont Guerry is opposed
to dispensaries, but endorses the bill
on that subject recently passed by
the Georgia legislature. Evidently
he thinks that under that law it will
be more difficult than heretofore to
establish a dispensary in a Georgia
county.
It is my purpose to oonduct a hotel that
will be home-like and satisfying to all
guests. It is specially suitable for ladies
or others visitiug Macon for a day or
