J. Condan Co., contractors. This new location with its model new fixtures makes the office here the peer of ary office of its class in Georgia. The loeation in the Muasonic building is almost as central as the former site, and possesses the advantage of being more com modious and with the new labor saving fixtures converts it into a delighttul place to work. The front has a lobby sufticient and the loeation of Money and Delivery windows quite conven ient. The handsome boxes of three sizes, wdapted for person al, business and larger demands are equal to every emergency that might be made on the office. We learn that the last several reports made of the growth of Folkston office has justified the larger num ber of boxes installed. Formerly a hundred boxes were used, whizh cramped the demand. Newly in stalled are 225 boxes, which Post master Mills epect te fill the bill, From the rear cf the building all mail wiil be received and the rural routes dispatched, a conven ience and closer to the traiy and, "‘«vt pricg 1 ity taken seriously and that many ex pressions from citigens, who will be vitally effected by the move ex: press themselves as favoring it, We harken the day that paving of our town residence streets be gins. A paved street and side walk and beautiful shade trees are no mean asset to a town we assure you. This is a move in the right di rection, the post office has been considerable improved, and the natural consequece of i's sur roundings must be made to keep pace with it, An Anniversity Celebrated The interesting event of a 56th anniversity was celebrated by Mr. and Mrs. W, O, Gibson on Tues day. This isa long time to en~ joy lite together, and the Herald's well wishes go to them over this long and eventful voyage through life together. As all of this time has been spent in good old Char- Iton, there is a subject in it for quite a bit ot history and we hope at some future date when Mr. (iibson is in that mood to get from him some interesting data of the people, the community and other incidents to show the pro gress of all of these years, Organizer Here Mrs. Qra F.
