Rural Free Delivery.

The following circular recently is-
sued from the Office of the first as
sistant postmaster general by A. W.
Maohen, general superintendent of
the rural free delivery service, is Of
especial interest to the patrons of the
various rural free delivery routes:
1. The department. looks to the pat
rons Of the rural FREQ delivery service,
who are receiving the benefits of the
service, to use their utmost personal
endeavors, and also to exert their in
auence with the road supervisors, or
with those officials who are responsible
for the condition of the highways, to
the end that the roads travelled by the
rural carriers may be always kept open
aDd in such passable shape that the
service can be regularly and punotual-
ly performed.
2. Should the regularity of the SER
vice be needlessly destroyed as the
result Of inattention and l,ok of care
bestowed ea the highways, the per-
manent withdrawal Of the delivery
will very likely result.
3. Rural letter carriers are required
to serve their routes at all seasons Of
the year and in all kinds of weather
when it can be done without seriously
imperiling their lives or endangering
their conveyances or the United States
mail which is in their custody.
4. Patrons should clear away the
snow drifts, 30 that carriers can drive
up to and reach boxes from their We
hicles without dismounting.
5. II 10 not a part of the carriers
duty to break out the roads after q
severe snow storm.
8. Rural carriers are expected to
energetically try to serve their routes
even though the conditions may be
extremely adverse, and any undue
lack of zeal on their part should be
promptly brought to the attention of
this office for such action as the merits
OF the case require.

BILL ARP'S LETTER.
Now is the time to Look, Back and Review
the Past
Atlanta Constitution.

gone-gone like the water that has
passed over the dam-gone never to
return. 1t has carried many friends
along with it and left sad memories in
the household, but on the whole it has
been good year to us and Provi ,ence
has been kind.
Now is the time to look back and
review the past, as did old Janus, for
whom January was named. He was
the porter, the gate keeper Of heaven,
and had two faces-one to look back
and the other forward into the mys-
terious future. Numa Pompilius gave
him his name and his high Office, for
ne was next in power to Jupiter. He
added two months to the calendar and
called one January for Janus and the
other February for the mother Of
Mars. Until then there were but
eight months Of forty-six days each.
Numa added two more, which gave
them thirty-six days each, and Janu-
sry was the fourth month and remain
ed 80 for more than two thousand
years. April was the first month and
remained SO until two hundred years
ago. Why it was changed / cannot
understand, for April is much more
like the beginning of q new year than
January. April comes from aperio, to
open-the time when the earth opens
and the grass comes up and the flowers
bloom and the birds sing. But the
names of almost everything seem to
conform to that old mythology, and
we can't get rid Of it. My great
grandfathe- lived and died under that
old calendar when April was the first
month Of the year. Julius Caesar and
Augustus Caesar stuck in two more
months and made the year of twelve
months of thirty days each, but April
remained the first month. and ought
to be now.
But whether Christmas be in De-
cember or IN April, we love the old
superstitions that cluster around this
season of joy and gladness. I always
thought it pretty idea for man to
be weighed every Christmas or New
Year-to put his acts and deeds in
the balances; the good on one side and
the bad on the other, and let him rise
to heaven orfall below it as the scales
might turn. This is not an orthodox
doctrine, for it is seid that one bad
deed will outweigh thousand good
ones. Nevertheless, Belsohazzar was
weighed, and the scriptures abound in !
such figures ofospeech. It will take
miracles Of grace to save us, anyhow,
and we must all help one another, for |
the devil is doing his best. David |
committed murder: Solomon worship
ped idols; Cain killed his brother;
jacob cheated Esau out of his birth
right; Noah got drunk, and Peter de-
MED his Master but they all repented |
and got forgiveness; and if there is |
any difference between folks now and |
folks then, I don't know it. Then
let us all love our Maker end be coed |
to our fellow-men. Bill ARP.
