$500 per year. compensation which increases with years of service.
 The appointment of the new man, who will be selected from the list of "eligibles" who have stood the civil service examinations, will necessitate a change in the hours of delivery. It has also been the means of taking in addi- tionai territory fin the business dis trict which has long deserved that dis tinction, but which has been denied owing to the incompleteness of the force.

The dry Kiln oi the Thomasville Manufacturing, Elec- tric Light and Power Company was l totally destroyed by fire. Loss approx imately $5,000.

 Fine rains visited Thomasville the latter part of last week, aiding the splendid cotton crop in fruiting.
 The South Alabama Institute had It's opening on the 9th inst, under favor able auspices.
 Professor Pugh has quite a compe- tent corps of teachers to assist him during the coming term. The institute opened with approximately 200 pupils. More are being added each day.
 The ginning season is fairly on here. The town received 150 bales or cot ton last week which sold around IF cents. A good cotton crop at these prices will certainly leave our little city and surroundings in very envi- able condition.

 Miss Anne Gunter, assistant in tho Girls High SchooI.
 Superintendent Floyd is now engaged in enrolling pupils who are to enter the Montgomery public schools this year for the first time, and those who left school last spring before the close of school.
 The pupils who finished their years work in regular manner are not re- quired to enroll anew, but are permit ter to enter the room Co which they were promoted. Only the new pupils and those whose work was irregular in some manner are required to enroll with the Superintendent and be as- signed to a grade.

Postmaster J. P. Dimmick has re- ceived information from the postal de- pertinent at Washington announcing that Montgomery has been allowed an increase. of one man on its carrier force, and that the concession Is to go Into effect on Monday, September 16. The concession is the result of activt- ties which were directed by Postmas- ter Dimmick a few months ago, when he was in Washington on matters rel ative to the local postal work.
 Heretofore the Montgomery postal department has had three daily deliv- cries in the business districts of the city, and owing to the rapid growth or the city, the postal activities tncreas- ing commensurately, the employment of a fourth man for this work has been found a requisite for the satisfactory delivery on any route.
 Sometime ago Mir. Dimmick received word that the fourth man would be al- lowed, though definite announcement of the change was not made until yester- day. The new carrier will begin work on the regular government salary of

 MEET AT AUBURN
MANY FINE PAPERS ARE READ BEFORE THE DELEGATES AND THE DISCUSSIONS ARE MOST INSTRUCTIVE.

Auburn, December 2-(Special)-T Georgia and Alabama veterinarians met December 20 in the class room of the veterinary department of the Alabama Polytechnic institute. By invitation the veterinarians of Alabama and Georgia came here to be entertained by the vet erinary department of the college The Georgia Veterinary Medical association was called to order by Dr. P. F. Balm sen, president. Professor Wiloughby of Experiment, Ga, was at the desk as sec retary of the association. Owing to the delay or lateness of trains the address of welcome and response were omitted. Dr. Jago of Athens, Ga, read paper on the use of arecoline hydrobromide In acute indigestion of the horse. A full and spen- did discussion of this paper followed Professor Graybill of the department of agriculture at Washington read a paper on the cattle tick. He gave some of the results obtained at Auburn, Ala, in cooperation with the department of veterinary science. The veterinarians and visitors then went in a body to the de- partment of chemistry and pharmacy and then to the college farm to inspect the animals and work of the division of animal husbandry. The new course of veterinary surgery and medicine or the A. P. l. dhe first of its kind in the south) places great stress on animal hust bandry. In fact there is demand for experts in veterinary science and anim al industry. At the night session, Dr. F. E Tlah of C.. per on the twist of the colon in the horse. In it the results of number of cases at the royal school in Stockholm were reported
 Following this the entire body of yeter- inarians entered into a general discussion of cases from the private practice of the men present.
 Saturday morning was devoted to q clinic. Before the clinic, Dr. C. A. Cary explained the pathology and. symptoms of roaring or motor paralysis of the larynx of the horse and his method of operating for cure of same. The opera ton was then performed at the clinic. pr. P F. Bahnsen then gave a practi- cal demonstration of casting and confin- ing horses by using only single rope. This was greatly appreciated by the veterina rians. After this, Dr. Ward Gilt ner of the new veterinary department at Auburn, read very interesting and val uabie paper on serum diagnosis. Much of this paper was technical and most heartily received.
 During the meeting of the Georgia vet erinarians, the Alabama veterinarians. formally organized the Alabama Veteri- nary Medical association, with Dr. A. A. French of Birmingham, president. Dr. Ward Giltner. vice president; Dr. c. A. Cary, secretary The Alabama veterinarians were very enthusiastic and hope to grow into strong state organ ization.

1 that there are some good people in the
 world. I was made with a tender heart
 because the old man that sewed me up
 put Some heart wood sawdust on my right side. and then he painted my eyes with
 droop to them, and tears which fell off his trembling paint brush have been running down my face ever since. Lots more have come there since my dear little mistress died. Yes, she went up to the angels, because she was too
 good for this wicked old world Last
 Christmas morning I woke up and found myself in her stocking. The cricket on
 the hearth had just ceased his chirping, l when the sun peeped in, and I saw my
 new home for the first time. It was only one little room, with a wood fire
 place. The oil cloth table and knock down bed were the only furnishings be- side a bench and cane bottom chair.
 1T was getting awfuly uncomfortable
 when the comfort on the pallet there by the fireside began to tumble, and pres
 ently a wan, sickly little face appeared, and a moment later was illumined by the
 soft, eager light of two wonderfully ten
 der blue eyes.
 "She grabbed me almost in a moment, and before knew it was crying and kiss ing me all at the same time. She never got up any more, but l slept with her five months. The first day she intro
 duced me to a lot of paper dolls, cut
 from a magazine. and the very next hour
 I was married to young gentleman doll who was the hero of big novel in Me -.t,. o1,t of newspapers at the left hand corner of the quilt. and the salt shaker acted as my bridesmaid few days later my husband accidentally blew into the fire. We had a big cry over it. My mistress dressed me in mourning and since that time I have been a very sad widow. We used to have tea parties and big banquets. I had already eaten all the sawdust the doctor thought best, but she insisted on just little more so sweetly that I couldn't help taking it. Every night I put my arms around her dear lit- tleepeck and we both went to sleep as happy as could be.
 "One time I broke my little finger, but she put some cod liver oil on it and that stopped all the pain. I never was treated lodSHiN bul oHCe, Just DelOIt sne uleu
 Father came home early with big drunk on. He kicked me and made the saw dust run all over the floor, but my mis- tress picked it all up and we had big cry over it.
 Just a few days later she kissed me and mamma goodbye and left for heaven. Would that you could have spent but one f1eeting hour in that little castle of curly locks, might have seen the flicker ing blazes of the fire through those half closed lids, or felt the loneliness or the happiness of her evening reveries.
 You see, when she was gone, the good people brought me here. may be To- cent doll, but I know how to make little girls happy. That little one over there wants me, don't you see? Tell her to come get me-"
 And so passed the little 10-cent doll on its mission of joy and love. moment later the big s1o doll fell with a crash on the floor and the remains were swept into the gutter. B. B.
