The Official Vote.

The following information was
recently sent out from jackson
giving the states vote in the
last election: According to
the official returns received by
the secretary of state, only 1908
votes were cast in the congress
sional election in Mississippi on
the 4th of November. In many
precincts no election was held,
SO small was the interest taken,
and in others the balloting was
conducted by only one man. At
Friars Point the editor of the
local paper took charge of the box
and held the election, 5 votes be-
ing polIed, while at jackson, in
one of the precincts q one-armet
man acted as judges clerks and
bailiff.
A child of Mrs. Geo. T. Benson,
when getting his usual Saturday
night bath, stepped back against
a hot stove which burned him Sc
verely. The child was in great
agony and his mother could do
nothingto pacifyhim. Remember
ing that she had o bottle OF Cham
berlain's Pain Balm in the honse,
she thought she would try it. In
less than half an hour after APP
plying it the child was quiet and
asleep, and in less than two weeks
was we'll. Mrs. Bensun is a well
known resident of KelIar, Va.
Pain Balm is an antiseptic lini-
ment and especially valuable for
burns, cuts, bruises and sprains.

Mrs Effie A. Bergan, state superinten-

of her department before the Helping
Hand w. G. T. U. at its last meeting. Mrs.
Bergan is very enthusiastic over her de-
partment and Is especially encouraged by
the increased interest the lunbernen
themselves are showing. Some of them
are sending her definite descriptions Of
their camps with the number of men, the
nationalities, the number who read Eng
lish and those who read other languages.
This information is a great help in as
signing the camps to the unions. The
Helping Hand union has supplied two
camps each year for ten years. Last year
it furnished each camp with five weekly
papers direct from the publishers, besides
magazines and story papers collected from
friends Mrs. W. M. Stanley of 735 Mad
ison street, is the local superintendent and
she has been sending literature for the
past five weeks to a camp at BlackaDuck.

Popularity Of Rural Delivery.

About a third of the rural mail de-
livery routes in the state are in Con-
gresham Lawrences district, but he
mas just received ten different requests
for new ones. This eagerness speaks
well for the system.-Boston Trans
cript.
1t Is the same here as it is in Massa-
chusetts. and the same story comes
from all parts Of the land. Familiar
ity with the system increases it's popu-
larity and when a route has been es-
tablished in any section there are al
once petitions for other routes in that
neighborhood. Occasionally there is
an instance where there is some OPP
position to the establishment of a
Rural Free Delivery route. Some few
conservative people along the line look
upon 1t with distrust as "a new tangled
idea" an experimental scheme of the
government. and do not like the
prospect that the old stage route will
be given up or the possibility that the
little local postoffice may be discon-
tinued. But once the free delivery
route Is in operation these grumblers
who are never numerous, are quickly
silenced. 1t proves such a great con-
venience that soon every family along
the route begins to wonder how it eveI
got along without it. The rural de-
livery idea is great blessing to oul
country sections and the extension OF
the system cannot be too rapid to suit
our people. Maine, and particularly
this section, has been exceptionally
fortunate in securing thus early sc
many routes.
