As a result of persistent efforts we
have at last secured a change in the
Il. +. ID. mail route, No ,, leading
out from Whitwel, leaving the orig
inal route near g. w. Alder and
running down on the east side of the
ridges, passing down by Caroline
Chapel, then passing near new bridge
which was recently built across Big
SeQuachee between ]. r. Rogers and
W. c. Moore's, thence circling around
the butt Of the ridges by the Little
Sequachee bridge. thence up the west
ridge road up 70 H. Vinsant's, thence
through by the Lee and Wash Turner
farms to the Pike ut the Jones cross
ing. You can hardly imagine how
proud we are, and how thankful we
feel toward the p. 0. department for
giving MS the change, as quite num-
Der of us lived SO far from the post
Office that very often we did not get
our mail for two weeks. Now our
mail will be brought to our door every
day. We feel like there has been an
other broken link welded in the
great chain that connects us with the
outside world If we could only get
the new Southern h. Il. extension
through to Chattanooga we would feel
like we had been let ont of the prison
walls " BY changing the above dis
! cribed route there is added about
twenty-four mail boxes to the route,
and only one knocked out. The one
lost out is b. b. Lasater and those
added are j. H. Ross, L. l.. Ross, d.
NJ Bryant j. W. Miller, w. H. Jor-
dan, j. D. Billingsley, T. T. Lewis,
J. T. Billingsley, J. H. Privett, ]. d.
Lewis, S. Ct. Billingsley, Daniel Pit
man, A. A. Spears, E. Pitman, D. NJ.
Griffith Silas McNabb w. A. Bill
Kingsley, G. H. Lewis, W. G. Moore,
}. r. Rogers, Hop Kelly, G. C. Alder,
Green Gates, and perhaps d. Ragsdale,
so if anyone wants to write to any of
the above named patrons, if they ad-
dress their communications to Whit
well, Tenn, r. F, D, No, ,, they
will be sure to get it,
We are all enjoying very good health
through these diggins now, no one
very sick that we know of except Mrs.
Daniel Pitman. She has been very
dangerously i'll for some time, but is
IGpOl uCu SOllG DtJbtI.
Mrs. Geo. H. Lewis is trying the
old fashioned chills again, but George
got her bottle Of Knox Chill Ton
ic'', and guess she will soon have
them conquered
Miss Rebecca Parmley and neice,
Mrs. Mary Woods, nee Travis, of Car
bon Hill, Ala, are visiting their kin
folks, Mrs. D. ID. Lewis and Mrs. W.
G. Moore. Mrs. Wood has been suffer
ing for over year with a very aggra-
waiting eating ulcer on her left leg Just
above the ankle, and the doctors there
told her that she would have to have
her leg amputated, but she imagined
that a change of climate and water
might be of benefit to her. SO she came
up in Tennessee to our good whole
some climate and pure water, but af-
ter the lapse of about two weeks, she
decided that it would take something
more than good air and pure water, sc
she called DR.. Shelton in and he put
her to bed for three weeks, and began
treatment, and has been treating hel
two weeks and thinks from the results
that he will have the trouble fully ar.
rested by the time set.
Mrs. Sallie Billingsley, nee Moore
is also chilling.
Bro. Hopper filled his regular ap
pOintment here Sunday evening. Bro
Hopper will have only one more ap
pointment to fill at this place, and hi
conference year will be up, but WI
hope to have him sent back anothe
year as he is fine preacher.
Mrs. j. T. Billingsley and sons
: Leonard and Roy, visited Mrs. Bill
| lingsey's sister Mrs Eula Harris
Sunday.
Our Sunday school is on the digres
!, i've roll and is almost ready to close it
eyes Oh, what pity
1 Our school is progressing very nice
= ly with Miss Lula Pickett as teacher
E She seems to be giving satisfaction
and that is saying a good deal for on
settlement, as we are nearly always o.
the rule of cOntrariness.
Well, as we will have our rostoffic
right at our door from now on, an
0 will not have to go four miles to maj
our letters, we may write oftener. S
we will close for this time as we wi
have to do some other writing TO b
mailed i'll our new box. Xxx.
