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.

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.

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* Saw Death Neat*. “It often made my heart ache,” writes L.
