She turned him over and eased his bands
But babies are wise. and this one knew
His dear great-grandma through and

And, WELL she did it--half in fright.
Yet simply a-npiver with delight.
She rocked that baby and tried to sing

FORMER RECORDS
EASILY SURPASSED
Year a Successful One at
} Local Post Office.
In Every Department the Business
of 1906 Has Greatly Been
Exceeded.

If there Is a lack of prosperity
in the city the reports of the busi-
ness done at the local post Office
do not bear evidence to such q
condition. During the last Quarter

the Office were in excess of those
of 1906 by 1925.
During the whole year the busi-
ness at the offices was also much
in excess of the year preceding.
The registered packages sent out
of the local office numbered 4,515
which is 81 in excess of 1906. The
sum of 3,507 registered packages
were received in transit at the local
Office which ds $50 better than last
year. The total number Of register
cd packages received here was
5,7s2 which is 1860 more than in
1906.
Three hundred more speciaf de-
livery letters were sent out of the
city than in 1906, the total reach
ing $3.50.
The weighing of the mails at
the local post Office was concluded
January l. covering period of
six months. During that time
145,5O3 pounds of mail was sent
out OF Marion, or on an average
of more than twelve tons per
month.
The figures were compiled by
Postmaster M B. Dickerson for, his
annual report.
