re «rnnriflth.n of nnnnnn /° r ISI | rights that; a chambermaid at $2
appiopnation of $6,000,000 for thei a & ve || and found was bound to
free rura de ’veiy service in the respect, says the Washington

The extension of the service increas
es the amount of money needed to
support it, but pays its way. Though
it is continually calling for more and
more funds, it is making large re
ductions in the expenses of other
features of the postoffioe business. •
The introduction of free rural de
livery in any district means the abo
lition of fourth-class postoffices and
for the service of star route contrac
tors and mail messengers. The new
service is found to cost but little
more than the old, and the increas
ed sale of postage stamps that has
resulted from bringing the postof
fice to the farmer’s very door has in
many places actually turned the bal
ance in favor of the new system.
No o^e expected such a splendid
result when congress, in 1894, con
sented to try the experiment. Few
believed the idea was practicable.
The opinion in the postoffice de
partment was that it would add
$20,000,000 a year to the expenses of
the postal service. The results of a
few years of practical experiment
were a surprise to everybody.

young chamber lady to come
around and straighten things up,
but up to 10:80 she had not ap

morning and he had a day in he
rather felt that he would like to
see things in some kind of shape
liness, so he went bqldly out into
the hall, where* she was chatting
pleasantly with the elevator boy,
and addressed her.
“When are you going to fix my
room?” he inquired in a tone
showing slight traces of irritation,
but not unpardonably rude.
Oh, I don’t know,” she res
ponded) with a haughty toss of
her head: “I haven’t made up
my mind yet.”
This was more than he could
endure.
Aw, your mind be darned,” he
growled; “you make up my bed
and let your mind rest awhile.”
The color question is not peculiar
to this section of the country by any
means. We have here a two-sided
question, but in Oklahoma the race
issue is three-cornered, with the
possibility of a fourth corner devel
oping. In the territory there are
white, black and red people, with a
considerable smattering of yellow.
Some time ago the white children
refused to go to school with the
black children, and separate schools
for the whites were provided. In
many counties Indian children at
tended the white schools, until the
whites, both parents and children,
declared a repugnance to association
with Indian bucks and squaws and
pappooses. It was then proposed
that the Indians be sent to the ne
gro schools, whereupon the Indians
got mad and threatened to raise
ructions generally, declaring they
would never mix with the blacks,
The matter has become a political is
sue in the territory, and there are
many persons who look forward for
a kick/tm the part of the Chinese re
specting race associations in the
schools.-— Savannah News.
“Some time ago my daughter
caught a severe cold. She complain
ed pf pains in her chest and had i
bad cough. I gave her Chamber
Iain’s Cough Remedy according to
directions and in two days she was
well and able to go to school. I have
used this remedy in my family for
the past seven years and have never
known it to fail,” says James Preu
dergast, merchant, Annato Bay, Ja

pains in the chest indicated an ap
proaching attack of pneumonia ;
which in this instance was undoubt

Describing a large poultry es
tablishment at Smyrna, Cobb
county, Ga., Mr. Lor ing Brown
was reported in the Macon Tele
graph as follows: “We have up
there at Smyrna 800,000 eggs now
in process of haoching. We sell
eggs at 28 cents a dozen to one
Atlanta customer, and he takes
them at that price all the year
round. We ship our broilers to

was settled some time ago
that he was to marry my daughter,”
said the father of a girl of the peri
od, “but it yet remained with the
young man to get my consent. It
was merely a formality, however, as
I'had cut no figures whatever dur
ing the campaign, my girl arranging
matters to suit herself without con- j
suiting me or my wishes.
“Now, I remembered with what
trepidation I had approached my
wife’s father when I asked him for 1
her hand, and I made up my mind
that when that young raau showed
up to ask me for my daughter’s'
hand I would have revenge, not only i
for what I had to pass through j
when I urged my suit, but for being;
shoved to the background during!
the present proceedings. i
“Well, he called at my office yes- j
terday, and I told my office boy to!
admit him and leave us alone and
see that we were not disturbed.
“ ‘Just dropped in,’ said he, easily
declining to take a seat, ‘to tell you
that I am going to marry your
daughter the middle of next month.
It will be an informal affair, so you
may consider yourself invited with
out further notice. Good morning.’
“Before I could catch, my breath
he was gone, and when I complain
ed to my daughter about his treat
ment of me, all the comfort I got
was that I could consider myself
fortunate in getting an invitation, as
it was to be a very exclusive affair.”

says: “The Georgians do not appear
to be at all afraid of the negro. The
Legislature of that state has just
voted down a proposition to disfran
chise the blacks with great vehe
mence. The Georgian knows how
to control the negro and has less
trouble in doing it than any of his
Southern neighbors. And we might
add that in no state in the South
are the negroes, as a class, so well
to do; so self-respecting and attent
ive to their business as they are in
Georgia. Fact is that the chival
rous Georgian is rather proud of his
well-behaved negroes and as long, as
they keep their place as they have
been and are still doing, the race
question will present no serious
phases in that state*
