More than one family may use the
same box, provided written notice
of such agreement is filed with the

Such boxes are by law afforded the
same procetion from injury or depre-

Persons neglecting or refusing to
comply with these conditions will be
regarded as not desiring rural free de-
livery, and the carrier will be directed
not to serve them.
MUST KEEP ROADS OPEN.
Patrons are expected to afford the
carriers every facility in the perform
ance Of their duties, by keeping the
roads open after heavy snow-falls,
and by using their influence with
the proper authorities to maintain
them in good repair. s....-. D..

AN INNOVATION
A Simplex Type Setting Mach.
inc is Installed in the Sheaf
Office.

The cut which we present be-
low is not a likeness of Santa Claus
although this is the joyous time Of
the year when this mythical person
age gets his pictures into the news
papers. 1t is simply Simplex type
setting machine, which we have just
installed in the Sheaf office. Really,
however, it may justly be considered
as sort of a Christmas present to
the readers Of this paper, and not at
all inappropriate, as this wonderful
machine represents one of the greatest
triumphs of the arts of peace, in that
era of ''peace and good WILL" ushered
into the world by the coming of the
Prince of Peace. OF all inventions,
the art of printing has contributed
most for the benefit and uplifting of
mankind. Books, newspapers and
magazines have a tremendous civil
izing influence and are recognized as
a potent power for good in the world.
The Sheaf in it's limited sphere de-
sires to be power for good, and in
order that it may be able to serve it's
readers better, give them more and
later and more detailed news, and
keep abreast with the great develop
ment of the newspaper business dur
ing recent years, the change from
hand to machine composition was de-
termined upon. After long and
careful investigation of the whole
subject of mechanical typesetting,
we have finally installed the machine
which is working such a revolution
in the old methods of producing
newspapers.
1t is probable that on no labor saw
ing machine has more time and money
been expended than on device to
set and distribute type. For over
century inventors have struggled
with the question and while their
efforts were partially successful, it
has only been in the past ten years
that a practical machine has been
put on the market. It SENS like an
impossibility that any combination of
machinery other thanthat encompass
ed in the human body could separate
nearly hundred characters, pick
them up again, form them into words,
combine the words into sentences and
place them in readiness for that older
but none the less marvellous result of |
brains the modern printing press.
The Simplex does it though, and does
it five or six times as fast as the most
rapid compositor.
1t was easy to make mistakes in
the old way. An e would slip into
the h box or an a into the box,
but the Simplex can make no such
mistakes. The operator can and
doubtless will continue to make mis-.
takes, but they will be fewer than
before and the hardships of the proof
reader will be considerably lessened
and the sensibilities of the critical
newspaper reader shocked less fre-
luently than before.
1t would be almost an impossibility
20 give an accurate description of this
wonderful machine and the only way
% get even a faint idea of it's possi-
)ilities is to come and examine it's
We publish picture in
his issue which is accurate as far as
,eneral appearances go, but of course
ives no idea as to how it is operated.

Warren Victorious Over Ada by
a Score Of IL to 9.

q OCO1O u Il W
The high school basket ball team
played the city team of Ada last Sat-
urday, at the latter place, the result
of which was the defeat of Ada by a
score of II to 2. The Warren team
showed excellent form during the en-
tire game, not having to call time for
any reason. Ada having had to call
time on several occasions The local
team showed good team work and
fast accurate passing, excelling Ada
in every part of the game as far as
speed and team work is concerned.
At shooting baskets from the field,
Warren showed skill; but this could
not have been done without the good
team work by the entire team. The
Ada team came near having several
baskets, but the excellent work by
the guards prevented all their cnan-

CeIebratcd by Nam.,ak..

One of Boston's quaintest little su- burban towns, Sherborne. Is just now attracting attention. It is being brought to notice by the recent celebra- tion of the 1,200th anniversary of It's mother town. Sherborne. England. A letter from Sherborne. Mass. just re- ceived in Kansas City says. "Ouptown was invited to take cognizance of the event. At the annual town meeting in March, a committee was appointed to prepare and send a greeting to the old town from which 1t took its name. The celebration took the form of a pageant and folk play in the ruins of the old castle from June 12 to 17. Louis N.
 Parker, the London playwright. conn posed the play and planned the cos- tunes and other details. The final ta- bIeau introduced an allegorical scene of Sherborne, England, and the daughter on this side of the seas, who has also accumulated many years, having re- cent celebrated her 250th anniversary.

Henry Clews. the New York banker was diiating on the dangers of deceit. Ry way of illustration he told of society woman who saw in jewellers window a collar of pearls that she wanted. She inquired the price and was told $6,0O0. She gave her check for $3,0Oo, saying she would send her. husband to see the pearls, but the jeweler was to tell him they cost only s3.O0O. The storekeeper was familiar with that sort of game and agreed The husband came to see the pearls and that evening told his wife he had bought them His wife delightedlyI asked If he had brought home the col- lar. whereupon he replied: NO. dears had 1t sent to my mother.

 citation: ..:-.. .,.
 II is with much pleasure to me that the opportunity has been dlio.u rd say a few words to the Southern 1atu ware .Jobbers' Association assembled aow at its annual meeting. 1..,
 The history of the Association Is .,.nical of that commercial and indus trial advancement in the last genera ton which has given prominence to the nosition of the Southern states.
 Your Association had its origin in recognition of the necessity for closer raIationship, among those engaged Tn similar pursuits, to the end not only or social intercourse but of that wloer knowledge which must follow rom the study of the methods and progress ol others. whether allies or competitors Such wider knowledge not only adds ,o onnortunlties. but 1t begets toler- ance in the conduct of business and Tn ,,areonaI intercourse which broadens Inc horizon of the individual and en- larges his capacity for general useful- ness.
 It is no reelection to say that gen eration back, the cultivation or such broader intercourse and tolerance was of the prime necessities for conn ,,,orcfal progress in the Southern States and the organization of your Association was one of the chief mani festations of a realization of that ne cessity During that perlod-or at at least for the last half Of it-the ma : terial and industrial advancement or tba south has been relatively greater os vol, all know than that of any other section of the United States. la such davelonment cooperation upon the mart of all interests has been an in- portant factor. The cotton manutac- turers inc owners and developers Of iron and coal mines, furnaces ana Iron mills. and all classes of manufacturers ana fobbers have done their several narts in promoting this spirit of CO., operation.
 One of the most important elements ,n The growth of the South for the last twenty years has been the develop rnent of large and efficient systems or railway tran sportation, these systems tcking the place of the small dlsJolht- ed units which served only local com munities. .
 Without dctracting from the import once of any other element in the growth of this great secuon' when now promises to be among the weath- fest of the country, 1t Is not too much to say that without this deNelopneht of transportation upon broader Hhes' co-onerating for gre ater usefulness. tb,t o,rowth could not have taken nIace and unless those tran sportation systems. and such others as may be created. are financially able to do their part in the future. the rich and varied civilization that is before the south must he retarded.
 While much has been done. part'Su- larIy in the past decade, in improving the effciency of the transportation systems of the South, those systems unless the signs are all misleading. are, utN opparativGlE in the1r ln- fnacy.

 the owners S70,000 to quit. The branch road was to be torn up in Its en- tlrety. The owners of the Lafayette road were the people behind the Hayne- vile road and when the road is torn up the rails and ties go to them These rails and ties are being moved to Ty- son. the station on the Mobile and Montgomery division of the Louisville and Nashville from which point the road will be run to Hayneville.

 That the eight miles of road from Tyson to Hayneville will be built now seems a certainty. It also seems to be a certainty that the promoters of the road do not intend to DC bottled up In Tyson.
