Storm Makes Work Of
Rural Carriers Very Hard.
A Kindly Word 10 Patrons from
Postmaster Libby.
Interest Continues to Grow in Work
/ OF Evangelist Adams.

The storm of Thursday made the
work OF the rural carriers doubly hard.
In nearly every case the carrier was
the first to travel over the roads and
had to break their own path Said
Postmaster Libby yesterday:
The people along the routes cannot
realize what the rural free delivery
means to them until they do not get
their daily mail But the cases are sell
dom where the roads are broken out
ahead Of the carrier after a storm and
that is something which the patrons
ought to do to help the driver. The
people do not get out until after the
driver has been along to break a road
and then complain because he is not
on time OF course when the storm
keeps up for two days or so the driver
does not expect TO find the roads
broken but when he has to break a
road Of clear morning like Friday
then the people cannot find fault if
he is not on time or even if he does
not get through because of the con-
dition of the road. This does not hap
pen on all the routes. because some ap-
preciate the work of the driver but
it is the rule on enough to have some
thing done"

HAVE ADDED TO THEIR
Big PLANTATION
Hawkins and Allen Now Have
3,lOO Acres in Tract.

A great plantation is that which
Messrs c. C. Hawkins and Lee Aler
now have down in Dougherty counts
about ten miles west of Albany, a
plantation that is rapidly being deveI-
oped into one of the very finest i'm adj
Georgia.
Stretching in an unbroken mass
from Walker station to Pretoria, these
two enterprising Americus men now
have 3,100 acres of fine farming hand
under their control.
For several years Messrs. Hawkins
and Allen have operated a large plan
tation, one of TIE largest in South
west Georgia, some $500 acres, and
have made u success of it. Sons line
ago they began negotiating for the
Walker place, embracing some 600
acres. Finally the signatures of all
the heirs of the estate were secured
and the deal was consummated, TIE
property, which adjoined tka former
plantation of Hawkins and Allen, be-
ing purchased for a good rond sum.
Work is now under way for the de-
velopment of the new purchase and
further improvements on the lands
formerly held. At Walkers station
settlement is rising, number of cab
ins being built there, with an over
seer's house. Some lots have been sold
on which houses and stores will prob
ably soon be Ibuilt, and quite a little
community will be established there
within the coming year.
1t is the purpose of the owners to
