Oftener than not, the village is composed of the sta ton itself, country drug store, and miniature Wanamaker's, where every thing may be had in general merchandise and country produce, from a gingham dress to a leghorn hat.
 "I must confess to being an eavesdrop- per-" said a friend of mine to me the other day as we were discussing this sort of thing-she having just returned from a two months stay at some springs in Virginia, whose waters were guaranteed to cure everything from diabetes to lum- bago.
 And what was the occasion of this shameless conduct of yours?" I asked. 'I had gone down to the station. two miles from the springs" said she," to in- quire about an express package, when found. all the cottage people at the springs ranged up alongside of me at the station window inquiring for things they had ordered from Richmond for the weeks housekeeping. And what prompted my curiosity which spent itself in caves dropping was a big, fat, red faced wom- an, who rushed breathlessly up to the station man, not having decided as 1t were, whether she would rend him in twain or merely ask him a civil question Naturally I was dying to know what the trouble was which prompted such a state of mind and redness of face, so I lis- tened and she said with chilly hauteur:
 Where's my roast beef? "Instead of being consumed with vexa- tion as I expected the station man to be he merely said in very kind tone: "'Why, I haven't got your roast beef, madam. When was it lostT
 It's been gone ever since Saturday night said the irate woman, and here took it to the 4 o'clock train himself. He says he put 1t on the train. He says he knows it came here. Now, what have you done with it?'
 Perhaps It's in this flower pot said the station man as he grasped the afore- said pot No, it isn't here" he said dis consolately I'll just look in this bas- ket of peaches. No, it's not here, either Madam I am very sorry but your roast beef .is not here.'
 "'Weil, then, where is my two pounds of butter I ordered at the same time? Imagine two pounds of butter having to stay in this hot place for two whole days! I don't see how 1t has stood 1t.
 "'Again the station man searched and searched and finally brought forth the sweltering butter and voly of re- marks from the irate housewife

 "No sooner had this woman departed before another arrived and demanded to know if colored woman had been there looking for her." said my eaves-dropper friend.
 "No man." said the station man po- litely. "I haven't seen one around here"

CHEAP RATES.
Bullock County Is Improving It's Pub
 lie Highways.

Union Springs, September 3.-(special.)- Judge A. B. Singleton and MT. E. J. Pierce, general passenger agent of the Union Springs and Northern railroad, have returned from Norfolk, Va. where they went to consult with railroad of- ficials looking toward securing cheap freight rates for gravel, so the county could afford to use 1t on the good roads now being constructed. They were suc- cessful in obtaining a very satisfactory rate that makes a difference of thousands of dollars had the county proceeded with the gravel shipped at the regular rate.
 Satisfactory progress is being made on the road work, and the county commis- sioners hope that much of it will be ready to haul cotton over by the time it is ready to be moved.
