It contains 2I square miles of land, and, 1t is said, only one negro fam fly lives in it. The precinct was established at Roden s mill.
 The restoring of Eagle makes a total of B townships in the county. The highest number ever estab- lished was 2S and the lowest I4.
 Description of the boundaries of the new Eagle township IS as follows: Beginning at the north east corner of section 25, township 6, range I2, thence west on section line six miles, thence south four miles, thence east three miles, thence north I mile, thence east three miles, thence north three miles to point of beginning.

SOON TO ENTER SECOND CLASS
Big Increase in Conway Post
 Office Receipts.
Free City Delivery Believed to be Matter of Only Short Time Postofice
 Notes

That the Conway postoffice will become an office of the second class after the filing of the next annual report, and that free delivery is a matter of only short time is re- garded by Postmaster o. J. Owen as a certainty. The receipts at the local office have so largely in- creased recently that MT. Owen is almost positive that the amount re- quired to raise to raise the postof- fee one of the second class will be reached before the end of the fiscal year.
 The receipts for the quarter end ing Sept. 30 were SI762.44, as compared with S1374.6o for the same quarter last year. The re- ceipts for the quarter ending June 30, 1907, were SI893.72, as con- pared with SI28o. 24 for the same quarter last year. This IS a gain of SIOoI.32 or nearly 38 per cent for the two quarters, and If the same ratio of increase is maintained for the next two quarters, the years revenue will amount over Soooo. The amount necessary to place a postofflce in the second class is S8ooo.
 As soon as the department is satisfied that the office is firmly established on this basis, says Mir. Owen, ''I think it will be an easy matter to to secure the free delivery of mail by carrier service in the city. Our splendid side walks will be great help to us in the matter, though the city will of course have to number the houses. "
 Mails Being Weighed.
 Just now Postmaster Owen and his force are up against the hard est proposition they have had to face. Under a recent order of the department every piece of mail re- ceived and distributed must be weighed according to an intricate classification. This work more than doubles the labor of. the clerks and they request that everyone de- posit mail for dispatch on the night trains before o'clock each after noon, as it will otherwise be liable to delay. The weighing will con- tinue throughout the month of October, ane during the week be- ginning October I3 every piece of mail must be separately counted. A general order for the weighing of mail in pouches made several months ago, effective July to De- cember 3I, is another work the postoffiCe has to contend with.
 Big Money Order Business.
 During the past week 523 money orders were cashed at the Conway postoffice, an average of nearly 100 a day.
 c. V. Hinkle has succeeded Herbert Cox as general delivery clerk at the postofice. Mrs. G. E. Owen, former general delivery clerk, is also assisting during the month, on account of the extra work.

HOLDING A CAMERA.
Some Practical Suggestions to the Be-
slnner In Photography.

Some Practical Suggestions to the Be-
sInner In Photography.
One Of the most important lessons
for beginner to learn is to hold the
camera in the proper position during
exposure Whenever there are corners
Of buildings or other objects which
give verti' Il lines the camera must be
held Absolutely level. If this is not
done the building in the picture will
appear to be falling either backward
or forward, according to the way in
which the camera was tilted.
There are times. however. when the
camera may be tilted to an advantage.
In some cases it is an absolute neces
sity. For example in photographs Of
clouds. waterfalls, balloons. ETC., the
camera may point upward, while in
taking pictures of people swimming
or bathing. children at work or play.
ETC., it may be pointed downward. -
Very successful photographs of
prominent speakers. parades, crowds.
ETC., have been taken when the camera
was upside down. 1t makes no differ
ence in the negative whether the CAM
era is right side up or not. BY holding
the camera in the way suggested many
q photographer has secured good pic
lures. while others who tried to use
the camera IN the usual way made abb
solu tie failures. @s.
Often by holding the camera by the
side Of the body and pointing 1t back
ward one may secure pictures of chill
dren at play and of older people in
natural poses without the knowledge
of any members of the, group. @
r. Another warning to beginners is nee
aessary. Do not try to take a time ex-
posture while holding the camera in the
hand. Even If the camera is held
"a gainst the breast and respira ton stop
ped the action of the heart is sufficient
TO cause the bog to vibrate and spoil
the picture. Circle Magazine.
