That may yet be the lineup in the
mayoralty race.
The first two are avowed candi-
dates, putting in whatever work they
can as the days pass by, and getting
ready for vigorous campaign when
the primary date is set and the time
for the polling of votes approaches.
Judge Hixon is a possibility, which
his friends hope to convert into
certainty.
1t is not known whether Judge
HiXon will consent to run for the
office, but it is known that number
of his staunch friends are decidedly
in favor of him entering the contest,
no matter who else is in the field,
and making a vigorous, and as they
believe, successful, fight for the
mayoralty
Judge Hixon is one of the best
known men in the city He has
demonstrated the possession of
ability as an administrative official
An able lawyer and a popular man
he would put up fight that would
be full of vim from the start to the
finish.
1t is not at all improbable that his
friends will make some strong repre-
senations to the Judge before long
that will make him at least give the
matter careful consideration. Per-
sonally he is not known to have ex-
pressed any desire for the office, or
any inclination to make the race, but
his friends believe that they may
be able to bring sufficient pressure
upon him to force him to enter the
field.
1t would be a lively contest with
the three candidates referred to-
The vote would be pretty well split
up and it would doubtless be any
mans race until the last vote was
counted

DISCUSS NEW HOUSE
FOR CEMETERY KEEPER

Alderman Furlow brought up the
matter of building a new sections
house at Oak Grove Cemetery at the
meeting of the City Council Wednes-
day night. He stated that the pres
ent house was in bad state of re-
pair, and favored new one outside
the enclosure. One reason for this
change of location was that the space
inside the grounds would be needed
for cemetery purposes. The ques-
ton was on motion referred to the
Cemetery Committee to ascertain the
cost.

these figures had increased to $26,-

To carry out the comparisons: In
1900 the office had, in addition TO
the postmaster, an assistant postmast-
er and FIVE clerks, FIVE carriers. and
delivered about 100 pieces of special
delivery matter a month. 1908 sees
the office in the first class, with an

here, but to give slight idea OF how
your mail is safeguarded I will ienum-
crate few of the stages through
which a letter goes on being regis
tered.
Being mailed at Pensacola at 10 a.
M, the letter is given a number, and
a receipt, bearing the same number,
is given to the sender. After a per-
feet record of the letter has been en-
tered in the proper books it is plac-

are five or more addressed to the

This letter, still using Atlanta as
the office OF address, goes out on No.
4 at 1910 D. M, and each and every
clerk handling same must receipt for
it. II, instead Of being mailed at 10
a. m, it is mailed at L p m, still
using Atlanta, it will remain In this
office until noon OF the following day,
although mail has been dispatched

I idea OF this delay is to avoid remov-
ing valuable registered mail at night,
thereby lessening the risk Of loss.

made subservient to safety for the
