THE PARCELS POST

One of the arguments used by those who have opposed the establishment of a parcels post in connection with our free delivery system has been the item of expense and the enormous annual deficit that our postal revenues cause. Last year, for instance, the deficit in the postal revenues amounted to about $l4,0o0,00 and for most of this the rural free delivery was held to be res ponsible.
 Postmaster General Meyer, who is strong advocate of the establishment Of a parcels post system, similar to that which has proven so great convent ence in England and on the European continent, says that the adoption of that system in this country would add greatly to the revenues of the postoffice department, and that the rural free de- livery service might be made to operate at a profit, instead of showing loss.
 He has succeeded in winning over the support of some of the merchants asso- citations and other bodies to his project, and 1t is not improbable that the mat ter will come before the next congress, with a fairer chance of success than 1t has yet had. One of the chief oppon- ents of the establishment of the parcels post system has been the express com panies, which believe that the establish ment of such a system by the nation would result in marked diminution of their trade; but it is to be hoped that objections from this source will not be overestimated. It is hard to imagine a convenience that would benefit more largely a greater number of people than the parcels post service. It would prove, too, an enormous incentive to increased trade, and even if it's estab- lishment resulted in no saving to the postal service, but rather an increased deficit we imagine that whatever 1t would cost would be paid back many times in an indirect way by merchants and manufacturers. After all, the gov ernment is not in the postal business as a money-making scheme, but as a con venience to the people and an aid to trade.

The program was sim pie but entertaining. Cordial greetings were exchanged by the members, many of whom have lately returned from their summer outings. The response from each at roll call was to relate some of their summer experiences. These were most entertaining. The presidents address was concise and to the point. One new member, Mrs. Doyne, was added to the club. The plans of the year were ably discussed and outlined. At the close of the meeting delicious ice cream and cake were served and a pleasant social hour enjoyed.
 The second meeting of the club was on last Wednesday with Mrs. o. o. Florence. The lesson was the first act of the Twelfth Night or What You Will" the response being Friendship"

He is survived by his father, John Ingram of this city three sisters, Mrs. Arthur Ham. mons, and Miss Corinne, and Mis-: Elma of Mt. Vernon, and one brother, Mike Ingram, also of Mt Vernon.

 Elijah" Skaggs, accompanied by Mrs. Taylor, the woman he is supposed to have assaulted, her brother, and Judge Styles T, Rowe, are in the city trying to move the supreme court in some manner to smother that 2I years sentence which it ruled last Monday he must serve. Skaggs still expresses a desire to die in order that he may rise again on the third day and show to the world be is the living Christ. The chances of Skaggs to get out are small, how ever, and it has been suggested that if he wants to die so very bad as he professes to, he can accom- plish his design easily after being put to work in the penitentary, by starting off on the run, for the aim of the guards is true. Skaggs was convicted for the alleged criminal assault upon Mrs. Taylor, and sen fenced to serve 2I years in the penitentary. He then claimed the assault was not physical but men tai and performed for the purpose of getting him executed so he could show to the world he is the reincarnation of Christ. Skaggs is very nervous now, as he realizes his chances of getting out of he penitentiary with the doors yaw IT, ing for him are very slim.
 Nine short liues which are sub sidiaries of the Iron Mountain yesterday afternoon secured res training order against the Arkansas railroad commission, Attorney General Kirby, and shippers of va rious lines, in the United States circuit court, presided over by Judge Jacob Trieber. Each line must file bond of $25 ,ooo within ten days, and upon notice of five days, the state can come into court with a motion to dissolve the tenn porary injunction. Judge Trieber dissolved the injunction upon the grounds that the short lines are losing money under the ? cent pas senger rate and the freight tariff issued by the railroad commission last December, and it is against these rates the injunc tion applies.

In the western heavens near sundown

ports OF some beautiful alrshlp which
has been traversing the heavens daily

York dailies, which nobody has ever
had sufficient good fortune to see
Yet after all, the brilliant light is
no airship, neither does 1t traverse
the heavens daily and all those who
have been able TO see the pilot have
been mistaken. The star is the
beautiful planet Venus.
Friday evening early the planet
was the nearest to our globe that 1t
has been for some time and accord
ing TO the astronomers It was most
brilliant and markedly noticeable on
that evening. The planet has been
superbly beautiful curing the last
months, but never has It been so
radiant as last evening and not for
sine time will 1t be so again. 1t has
attracted much attertion ana II goes
without saving that the man who is
told that the object OF interest is
