“Yes, we folks who live in the
country will greatly appreciate
tree rural delivery, and we are
hoping that it will be installed on
the new routes laid out by Mr.
BouBhee not later than the first of
July. Some of the postmasters at
the country offices are kicking on
it because their offices will be dis
continued, but the people gener
ally will be mighty glad to get it.
When a person has to go four and
five miles for his mail, and lives
where there is not much passing,
it is pretty inconvenient, I’ll tell
you. Besides the convenience to
the people m the country, it will
also be a benefit to the business
men of the towns, for we can write
to the stores for what we want, in
the way of little things, and get
them by return mail without
making a trip to town. We hope
you folks here will help push
things ahead, for we are very anx
ious to have free delivery by July
first,” and the “dependence of
the nation” jumped in his buggy
and rode off to his country hom6.

“iTou bet, Gainesville is grow
ing, ” said a citizen who has re
sided here for several years.
“Along about the time I hit this
town she was as dead as a door
nail. That was six or seven years
ago, and things were pretty quiet
then. When the Pacolet com
pany came here and located before
the people were aware of what they
were doing, the town waked up,
and from that day to this one en
terprise after another has come in,
and the rehabilitation of the
Queen City has set in. There’s
no telling what Gainesville will
yet do, for she is yet in her “swad
dling clothes,” so to speak, and
her people will never rest an til
they have accomplished “Great
er” things.
Several drummers were on the
tram coming up from Social Cir
cle to Gainesville. The car
stopped at Hoschton for some
time, to do some switching. Col.
Dunlap, the receiver, was also in
the car with the drummers,, bat
they did not know who he was.
“I’ll tell you what they ought to
do on this road,” said one drum
mer to another. “What?” ‘ Why,
they ought to use buckskin tick
ets,” was the reply, “so that they
wouldn’t wear out between sta
tions.” And one of Col. Dun
lap’s famous frowns came over
his face.
