Wants Rural Mail Bids.

The postoffice department has issued
advertisements inviting bids for carrying
the mails on all star routes in the fourth
contract section from July 1, 1906, to
June 30, 1910. This contract section
comprises all of the states west OF the
Mississippi river, excepting Missouri,
Iowa and Minnesota.
The bidding is limited to persons living
within the delivery districts of offices
supplied from routes on which proposals
are made who will, il awarded a contract
live on or near the route and give the ser
vice their personal supervision.
Contracts awarded under these adver-
tisements will require carriers on mail
routes to collect and deliver mail to all
persons living along roads travelled who
comply with certain requirements of the
department. This will give a service sim
liar TO regular rural delivery service; car
riers will not be required to register let
ters or sell money orders, as are rural
delivery carriers, but in some respects
their star route collection and delivery
service gives better facilities than reg
ular rural delivery; carriers on these
routes usually travel the same road going
both ways, which enables persons receiv-
ing mail from carrier on outbound trip
to send replies by carrier on inbound
trip on same day; such opportunities are
not afforded by regular rural delivery
service, as these carriers travel circuit
Gus routes and do not return to starting
point over road travelled outbound.
Star route delivery and collection of
mail is great improvement over the old
system. 1t affords delivery and collec-
ton Of mail in sparsely settled regions
where rural free delivery cannot be es-
tablished, thus giving mail facilities al
most equal to those enjoyed in more
densely populated rural communities.
All postmasters in this contract sec
ton have pamphlet advertisements of all
routes in each state, with instructions to
bidders. Any person desiring to make
bid on route can get informrtion as to
making bids from postmaster.
The following is list Of star routes in
Elbert county, with present per annum
pay, on which bids are invited: Fondis
to Elbert, $500; Fondis to Norton, 1900;
Elizabeth TO Kiowa, $500; Schley to Eliz-
abeth, $3.50; Kuhn's Crossing to Agate,

THREE JURORS CURED
OF Cholera horbus with One Small
Bottle of Chamberlain's Collie, Choi-
era and Diarrhea Remedy.

Mr.. G. w. Fowler of Hightower, Ala,
relates an experience he had while serv-

Edwardsville, county seat of Clebourne
county, Alabama. He says: "While there

much better he would rather send it to

manner and one small bottle cured the

fine stock in this locality. About 20 en-
tries we're made and several pens OF good
birds were shown.
The agricultural display was probably
the best and most interesting feature of
the fair. 1t was a splendid exhibit OF
this country's resources and an adver-
tisement that money could not buy. The
exhibits were numerous and the display
throughout the large pavilion was a fine
one. The showing of grain and grasses
was especially good and showed that
much care had been taken in the prepa-
ration of the various exhibits. The fine
exhibit made by Keen Bros. of Pueblo of
grains, grasses, etc, raised on their ranch
west of Eastonville, is deserving of spe-
cial mention. This display won first
premium at the state fair for best dis.
play non-irrigated products. 1t was not
entered for premiums here. Mr.. Keen
officiated as judge of the agricultural
exhibit and rendered valuable assist
ance to the association.
The exhibits in fine arts, educational,
and pantry stores were displayed in l. o.
O. f. hall, which was well filled and nice
ly arranged. j. b. Braidwood, florist, of
Colorado Springs, had nice display of
cut flowers which were much admired.
The fair closed with dance upstairs
in Gates large warehouse, the only room
in town large enough to accommodate
the large number present, $50 tickets be-
ing sold. Four members of the First
Regiment band furnished the music.
Next week we will publish list of the
premiums awarded.
NOTES OF THE FAIR
The association is under obligations
to the Gates Mercantile Co, who donat-
ed the use of their large wareroom for
the dance; the l. o. o. f. lodge, which
donated the use of its hall two days; f.
A. Dotson & Co. and The Ebert Mer-
camille Co, for the use of the grounds:
Prof. Carlyle and Mr.. Keen, for their
services as judges; and many others who
gave valuable and timely assistance.
Elbert merchants all did thriving
business during the fair. A county fair
is a trade boomer every time.
Sheriff Shaughnessy and Undersheriff
Boston kept good order, not an arrest
being made. There was very little
drunkenness.
Jim" Durkee and David Tintle were
two of the judges, and Shethard Kelley
officiated as starter of the races.
The W. &. L. U. had "rest" tent on
the grounds.
The managers of the fair should see to
it before another fair is held that well
is sunk on the grounds and a fence or
railing is built on both sides of the race
track along the home stretch.
With n few exceptions Elbert business
men and citizens and many from the
surrounding country contributed their
cash and assisted in other ways to make
the fair a success.
The fair visitors were well fed and the
hotels and eating places all made money

Are You Engaged7

Engaged people should remember,
that, after marriage, many quarrels can
be avoided, by keeping their digestions
in good condition with Electric Bitters.
s. A. Brown, of Bennettsville, S. c., says:
For years my wife suffered intensely
from dyspepsia, complicated with a tor
pid liver, until she lost her strength and
vigor, and became mere wreck of her
former self. Then she tried Electric
Bitters, which helped her at once, and
finally made her entirely well. She is
now strong and healthy" Fred Long,
druggist, sells and guarantees them, at
