fTeSn as a maluen S Blush IS tne pure
peachy Complexion which follows the use Of
Hagan's Magnolia Balm. 1t is the true Sc
cret of Beauty. Fashionable ladies in society
understand this.
The Magnolia Balm changes the rustic
Country Girl intn a CITY Belle more rapidly
than any other one thing.
Bedness, Sunburn, Tan, Freclles, Blotches
and all effects OF the Summer sun disappear
where it is used, and a genial, cultivated,
fresh expression is obtained which rivals the
Bloom of Youth. Beauty is possible to all
who will invest IS cents at any respectable

FREE DELIVERY.


Free delivery Of Letters by Carriers at the
residence of owners may be secured by oh
serving the following Rules:
l. Direct letters plainly to the street and
number, as well as the Postofice and State.
2. Head letters with the name of the wri-
ter's Postof1ce and State, Street and Number.
Sign them with fun name, and request that
answers be directed accordingly.
3. Letters sent to strangers or transient Wis
itors in town or city, whose special address
may be unknown, should be marked on the
lower left hand corner with the word {" Tran
sient."
4. Place the postage stamp on the upper
right hand corner, and leaye space between
the stamp and direction for post marking,
without interfering with the writing.
MA request for the return Of a letter to
the writer, If unclaimed within thirty days
OF less, written or printed, with the writer's
name, Postofice and State across the left
hand side OF the envelope, on the face side,
will be complied with. Letters bearing such
endorsements will be returned TO the writer,
free of postage.
Parties now renting Boxes, or receiving
their mail matter through the General Deliv-
cry, can receive their malls at their resi-
dences or places of business, regularly and
without risk, by the Carrier system Of Free
Delivery. An order to this effect left at the
Chief Clerks desk VIII secure immediate at
tention.
The advantage of the Free Delivery system
cannot be too highly estimated. It is more
regular, more secure, and more convenient
than the box system. Many letters pass
through the mails, reach this city, and are
deposited in the boxes safely, but because of
a divided responsibility, fail to reach the firm
or family addressed.
The Carriers are all sworn to a faithful per
formance OF service, and are under heavy
bonds for an honest discharge of duty.
II the business community could be in
duced to cease sending boys TO the Postomce
for their mail matter, and accept the means
provided by the Department for a safe deliv-
cry Of letters through responsible carriers. a
great evil would be corrected, and many
losses nov occurring prevented.
Valuable Letters should be carried to the
Postofiee and registered. If money Is 10 be
RENTED, q Postal Money Order Should be OBJ
tanned. If upon points where there Is no
money order Office, then the letter should be
registered. Money should never he enclosed
