Boil weevils are still very had
in our community: fields that usu-

make more than two. A few bolls
at the bottom of the stalk which
matured before the weevils became
so bad, will be our crop of cotton
this year, despite our many efforts
to keep back the weevils, they are
getting so bad that we do not know
whether we can make anything next
year or not.
We see our letter was too late to
be printed last week.

S6,943 LETTERS CAME
DURING MONTH OF MAY
Did You Get Yours Among the
Number?

Too hard life will not seem, think,
Though others summer by the sea-
| If Rose will, while she's out of town
| Write just little note to me!
Rhymes of the Bughouse Balladist.
/ There were 6,943 letters received
at the Americas Postofice during the
marry month of May.
Did you get yours, loye-lorn swain
If you didn't, maybe you got it in the
neck. At any rate, it wasn't Uncle
Sans fault
But it does seem there were suffic.
lent letters to go around, even under
1.-THE revised census and to the most ro-
mantle individuals. But that WASH
the reason why Uncle Sam counted
them, for count them he did-during
the entire month.
This was in the way of taking
as it were, for now the postal author
tiles have carefully revised statistics
concerning the amoHnt of mail handled
at the local postoffice, not only of The
first class, but also of the second
third and fourth classes, as well as Of
EVERY class of matter that goes into
the mail bag.
1t is interesting to note, too, thai
there were more than 5000 fewer let
tiers mailed out from this office thar
were received during the month. That
indicates that we receive our share
with a little thrown in, but there are
such things as bills that come under
cover with a two-cent stamp, you
know.
The total number of pieces of mai
handled runs up into the six-fgure col
umn-326,S77, to be exact. OF this
number, the outgoing mail tops the
incoming as the respective figures
.173,6O3 and 1924 easily indicate
These figures include every piece oi
mail that passed through the post
office during the month.
In the handling of this large volume
of mail the statistics show that the
local postal clerks made records sec
ond to none Speed and accuracy were
shown to a remarkable degree, and
these are the two indispensable re-
quisites for the prompt and satisfac-
tory handling of the mails. The sta
tisJics reflect the greatest credit Oh
the personnel of the local postoffice
force, which has been brought to such
high standard under the efficient ad-
ministration of Postmaster Frank P
Mitchell.
Daily throughout the thirty days
Assistant Postmaster Henry c. Mitch
ell received the reports of statistic;
from the postal clerks and compiled
and tabulated them, 1t is due very
largely to his individual labor, as
sisted by the entire local postal force
that the local postoffice to-day has
reliable and authentic information as
to the number of pieces and the
class Of each piece Of mail that is be.
ing handled by it,

There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutions
remedies. Deafness is caused by ar
inhamed condition of the Eustachian
Tube, When this tube is inflamed you
have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely clos
ed. deafness is the result, and unless
this Inflammation can be taken on
and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by Catarrh, which is nothing
