tTSy^ io’ZIrip a Sh “ho Sunday School Convention
.country by auto coming by Richmond, ^
Petersburg, Durham, Charlotte, Spart
anburg, Greenville, Anderson and
Carnesville. They encountered much
rain and due to road repairs had to
make a number of. detours. Although
a little tired from the trip, it was nev
ertheless enjoyable. Miss Susie Wal
lace, Mr. Bell’s secretary; arrived ear
lier in the week, coming on Jhe train.
Sunday morning, Mr. Geo., L. Wood,
of the Post Office department, in
charge of rural mails and' star route
service, accompanied by Mr. Shipp, of
ficial photographer of the United States,
bureau of forestry, reached Gainesville
over thp Southern Railway, and will
spend at least this week with Congress
man Bell. Mr. Wood, who is regarded
as one of the most efficient and popu
lar officials of the post office depart
ment, will make a survey of the rural
and fjtar route service in the Ninth con
gressional district with a view of fur
ther extending the service if it is found
that the present service is inadequate
and needs to be extended. Mr. Wood
has not visited Gainesville in a good
many years,- having come here on of
ficial business somq fourteen or sixteen
years ago, .since which time Gainesville
and this section has made some wonder
ful strides of progress. He is given a
most cordial welcome to Gainesville and
the district, not only because of l^is
splendid personality but because of his
interest., in *the development of rural
and star route service.
