Free Delivery In the City.

Free delivery of the mails in
the city of Columbus began yes
terday, the carriers making
their initial trips. For the con
venience of the carriers and the
efficiency of the service the city
has been divided into three
routes.
Route No. l is served by Car
rier Joel It. Johnson and en-
braces all of that part of the city
north and south of Main street
which is west of Sixth street.
Route No. 2 is served by Car
rier James HI. Butler and en-
braces all of that section of the
city which is north of Main
street and east of Sixth street.
Route No. 3 is served by Car
rier Ralph L. Dill and embraces
all of that section east of Sixth
street and south of Main street.
The service began yesterday
and for a time it will be largely
experimental. It will require
some time for the carriers to
familiarize themselves with their
routes and after that the service
can only be perfected by the
people cooperating with the de-
partment in having their mail
addressed to their street and
number. For the present the
carriers will endeavor to make
two trips per day and all Sec
tions of the city will be served.

Everything Ready.

Everything is ready for the
great lot sale which occurs this
afternoon at the Swearingen es
tate just east of the Southern
shops.
The sale has been extensively
advertised and a great crowd
will take advantage of the oppor.
tunity and go out to it.
This property is considered as
valuable as any around Column
bus on account of its proxity to
the railroad and the water main
and on account of the tendency
of Columbus to develop in that
direction.
It is known that manufacture
ing plants in the future will go
here and there is desire to fore
stall them and get the good prop
erty before they are located.
This property is considerably
closer to the Franklin Academy.
the churches and the business
section of Columbus than Rob
ertson s Addition and is nearer
than Belleview.
Be on hand. A beautiful lot is
to be given away free; there is to
be music and the lots are to be
sold for what they will bring.
Remember two o'clock prompt.

A Word Regarding Vanilla.

To extract the entire flavor
from the Vanilla Bean during the
process of manufacturing Elk
tract of Vanilla and to leave be-
hind in the residue the wax and
resinous matter which always
renders the finished product on
ly an article to sell and not to be
used for flavOring purposes is a
secret peculiar to our own pro-
cess. Our Vanilla has won it's
way over all others and now
stands in a class to itself It is
best and goes farthest and the
flavor is truly delightful. Special

The Vardaman Club of this
city was greatly disappointed
that they were not able to take
the Greenwood trip yesterday.
The cause of the postponement
was the fact that the Southern
Railway had an excursion into
Birmingham on Monday and all
of the road S extra equipment in
the way of rolling stock was
used in this trip. For that rea-
son the road was compelled to
refuse to furnish a train for the
Vardaman enthusiasts greatly to
their chagrin and disappoint-
ment.
All arrangements have been
made for the Greenwood trip on
Friday next. A special train will
leave this city on that day at
$50 o'clock in the morning and
the return will be made IN the
afternoon. The fare for the
round trip will be between S1.5O
and $500 and it will be furnished
at cost to all who go. A gala
time is promised in Greenwood
and a speech from Maj. Varda-
man and others is assured, while
music and other entertaining
features are promised.
The Vardaman men of the
county are invited to take this
trip with the Vardaman support
ers of this city. Ample accomo-
dations will be furnished and a
delightful run to the city in the
delta and a pleasant return is as
sured.
