All accounts welcome whether large or small FARMERS BA INK OP PELHAM Growth of Postal Receipts Since 1900 The following figures furnish¬ ed by Postmaster N. T. Jones will be of interest and surprise to many as showing the amount of business transacted in this office since the present postmaster took charge eight years ago. Mr. Jones assumed charge of the of¬ fice here on May 1st, 1900. It is surprising to see how much mail matter is handled through the Pelham office, and the ease, f. • cility and correctness with which it is handled, speaks most highly for the postmaster and his capa¬ ble assistants. Mr. Jones who, by the way, says that he has not. been sick but three days in thirty-seven years, has been absent from the post office only five days during his term of eight years. He has made out every report weekly since he has been in the office, and has never had a report returned. ■correction The office hu% never lost a money order or registered letter. The final audit of the post master’s account to June 30th, 1908, shows $1.35'to his credit in Washington. In speaking of the proposed office changes and improvements Mr. Jones said, “When we get our new outfit, which we expect to put in about October 1st next, we will have the neatest up-to date office in Georgia.” There is no better indication of business activity and progress than post office receipts, and it will be interesting to the thought¬ ful person to compare the stamp and money order sales for each year given, in order to note city’s progress. For instance, it will be noted that the stamp in 1907 were 547 per cent, than the sales of 1900.

PELHAM, GEORGI Day, august 31, 1m Another Chapter in the Congregational Method¬ ist Mix Up. Another chapter was read to the public in the Congregational Methodist church controversy which has been going on for several months. Rev. T. J. Brunson had sworn out warrants for J. M. Eure, J. I). Watkins and J. M. Daughtry, charging them with disturbing public worship, and against W; Rogers charging him with tres¬ pass. i----- By consent, ---------> the — cases -r of “■ Eure and Daughtry were taken lip together, and after an investi¬ gation which lasted a couple of hours, they were discharged. The prosecution was then abandon¬ ed as to the other two defendeuts. The inves tigation disclosed that there are two factions in the church, one represented by Rev. T. J. Brunson, and one bv R ev^s^a J. i r . <_ i *» a. - i a 1 ■ i v T. J. Brunson had been tnrnfu out of the church by the opposing .faction, and had been granted his letter by his own faction. Nevertheless, he undertook to have services in the church in east Pelham on the third Sunday in July and invited Rev. White there to preach. When the company arrived, Messrs, Daugh¬ try, Eure and Watkins were pres¬ ent and requested Mr. Brunson not to open the church, and stat¬ ed that it was the desire of the followers of Rev. Hurst that they should not use the church and they insisted on his not going in. Nevertheless, Rev. Brunson, who held a key, unlocked the door !inc i we nt in, and the evidence was that some one stated that they would go and get a warrant and have him arrested. Later, Mes.sis. Eure, and Watkins entered the church, and took part in the services, voting against a motion which was put atthe-close of the services. There was some evidence that the license of Rev. Brunson had been revoked. He denied that this was legally done, and went on-the stand in support of his po¬ sition. Rev. Hurst went on the stand and made a statement in support of the legality of the po¬ sition of his followers. After go¬ ing at length into the evidence, and a fter listening to the argu¬ ments of counsel, the Judge promptly discharged the ants. | We handle, besides the items, 1250 pieces daily.

Decision Reversed in Telephone Case. r l he Supreme Court handed down a decision Monday in which they reversed the decision of Judge U . N Spence in the case of the I’owii of Pelham against Pelham Telephone Company. This case was carried to the supreme court early in the year and the decision has been expect¬ ed for several months. The full text of the decision has not vet been received, and therefore it is not known how far reaching it was. ' It will be remembered that the litigation arose out of an order passed by the city authorities directing the Ideal telephone company, which was then known as the Drake Telephone Compa¬ ny, to move their poles along Hand Avenue and. Mathewson. trmoe, < - W( „, .. -g b. .. . 1 which was bbh . 0 An injunction was sought to restrain the city from requiring the removal of these poles, and the injunction was in part grant¬ ed by Judge W. N. Spence. The city denied that the telephone company had any franchise for the use of the streets, and the de¬ cision of Judge Spence is said to have practically adjudicated that the telephone people did have a franchise by reason of the fact that they had been allowed to erect their poles and build their system in the town without ob¬ jection film decision of Judge Spenge was carried to the Supreme Court upon the petition of the town, ■iml the telegram received Mon da v says that the decision of .Judgf Spence is reversed. The city was represented by attor¬ neys Davis & Merry, and the de¬ fendent s by Pope & Bennett and -J. J. Hill, In Honor of The Misses McCrary. Mrs. L. H.
