pointed at the tone of the government re-
port, last week, in face of the improving

Rural Mail Delivery.

Albany Herald: The rural mail deliv-
cry service is proving more erstifyingly
successful in the Albany district than was
hoped for at the time of its Inauguration
Albany was among the first cities of Geor-
gia to be made a distributing point for
one of the rural routes, and she result of
the experiment has been watched with a
good deal of interest. The route running
out from Albany goes through East
Dougherty, making a long loop 27Ib miles
in circumference. Mail Carrier Murray
makes the circuit every day except Sun
day-six times a week. The people living
along the line Of the route which is
known in postoffice circles as Rural
Route No. l." find the daily delivery of
mail a wonderful convenience. and now

ciated can be understood from the fact
that since the route was established the
number Of families to enjoy its advantages
has fully doubled.

liceman w. T. Phillips arrested negro
on suspicion of being Booker, and when
the man was carried to the police sta

every particular. OF course. the man de-

in his walk, has the color, and also the
scar over his eye mentioned in the de-
scription. Information had been received
here to the effect that Booker was either

Joined the army. They never dreamed
but that he was free. In the meantime
however, John Vaughn remained con-
Wet notwithstanding the fact that the
Prison Commission and Governor of Geor-

eleven months and eight days in the PEN

it was accidentally discovered that he had
never been released, but was still con-

Gambler called upon for pardon, and
second one was granted. The second par
don proved effective and Vaughn was re-
leased. Now he is claiming pay for the

Epidemic Quality.

At the conclusion of a recent inquest on
John Brooks, an engineer of Upton Park
Manor, who flung himself off the Royal
Sovereign while the vessel was nearing
Southend on her return journey from Mar
gate, Wr. Wood. the deputy cononer. made
some remarks calculated to surprise the
uninitiated, but only the uninitated. He
said that, apparently, the case was one of
those which made up the terrible epidemic
OF suicide In and near London recently.

Wood correctly termed ii, "epidemca sui

himself in barrack room, or having put

on record occurred in 1865 in the camp at
