Mother’s Meeting.
The second meeting of the
Mothers’ organization was held at
the Baptist church last Friday
afternoon. The meeting was
largely attended and much enthu¬
siasm was felt and and expressed
by those present.
Several bright and inspirational
readings were given along the line
of child training, its dangers and
difficulties. Very strikingly were
pointed out the value of early
training, the wonderful power of
a Christian mother and the im¬
portance of gaining a child’s con¬
fidence.
A solo, “Where is My Boy To¬
night,” by Mrs. P. B. Shipp, was
both beautiful and touching.
The meetings are informal and
it is hoped the mothers will feel
that it is a place of refreshment
and inspiration.
Bring the babies.
Mrs. Eddie Battle and little
daughter, Bernard, left Saturday
for Marshalville, Ga., after an
extended visit in Pelham.
DidYouRead about the Tornado at Cuthbert?
You Insure Against Fire, Why not Insure against STORMS?
Tornadoes destroy almost as much property in South Georgia as
fire. Many South Georgia towns have been hit and we do not
know how soon PELHAM may be added to the List. BETTER IN¬
SURE NOW and BE SAFE THAN PUT IT OFF and Be SORRY.
The Pelham Insurance Agency will be glad to write you a policy
that will protect you against loss by FIRE or STORMS.
We write FIRE, AUTOMOBILE and TORNADO Insurance.

ONE DAYS MAIL.
The Report of Postmaster
Showing Mail Hand¬
led April 2nd.
Some idea of the volume of
business handled by the Post
Master and his assistants at Pel¬
ham is gained from the statement
furnished the Journal, showing
the total number of pieces of
mail handled by this post office
April 2nd.
The requirements of the de¬
partment are that actual count
lie made of the mail handled one
day every three months. In ac¬
cordance with this requirement,
there was an actual record kept
at the Pelham post office on
April 2nd. The statement fur¬
nished by the post master is as
follows:
Friday, April 2, 1909.
Pieces of mail handled at Pel¬
ham, Ga. Post Office by actual
count, April, 2nd, 1909.
Received and dispatched 81
sacks of mail!
Daily papers - 121
Week 1 ies, somi-week 1 ies
and Magazines 1980
Letters - - 2677
Postal cards - 220
Circulars - 1000
Total pieces - 5998
Of these, Rural Routes
handled - 1216
From the above report is to be
seen that nearly six thousand
pieces of mail were handled at
the post office on this date.
When it is taken into considera¬
tion that in addition to the actual
handling of the mail, much time
is consumed in selling stamps,
money orders, preparing register¬
ed letters, making reports, etc.
some idea may be gained of the
splendid efficiency of the em¬
ployees.
Lost.
