is found that by the year 1900 the
number of offices had increased to
1,205, and hundred years ago, in
1913, there were 2,70Si postoffices
with gross revenue of $703,154,

The first postage stamps issued in
their present form were on July l,

1853 the Postoffice Department had
become a considerable institution,
and we find that this was the first
year in which stamped envelopes
were issued, and the sales amounted
to $5,S60,000. Letters were first

the expenditures reached 161,632,-

of postal cards jumped from $91, 900
in 1874 to $909,411,O45 in 1912.
This, of course, did not take into &C
count the private and picture pos

A Missouri editor given to verse

to have happened in his town as fol-

hoofs were hard as rock. He used
to hitch the donkey up and drive
him round the block. One day the
little mule he stopped, and would
not move a shoe, so Johnny got his
pocket knife and struck him just a
few. Now when the donkey felt the
knife he moved himself you bet, and

Supervisors

The change of road made by L.
B. Waybright on the Sterrett farm
in Crabbottom has been completed
and is claimed to be fully up tc
specifications, and a very fine job
of road work, was accepted
by the Board and opened for the
use of the public, and the contrac-
tor paid. -.-~
T. A. Doyle and other viewers,
appointed to locate a route for a
public road leading from Baracah
Chapel to a point near F. A. Doyle's
residence, made their report and
the route named in said report is
established by the Board as a pub
lie road, with gates, and toward
the building of said road the Board
makes an appropriation of $500. 90,
and G. A. Bird appointed a comr.
to receive bids for so much of the
work as will consume the $4,000,
and report to special meeting of
the Board to be held on April 22d.
1t is now pretty certain that the
children of Israel will have a plain
road down into Egypt by corn
shocking time.
The Board agreed that on ac-
count of the excessive damages
done to the public roads of the
county, by the recent high waters,
that it will not consider the build
ing of any new road until the dam
age has been repaired and paid for.
Therefore it rescinded all orders
made for surveys for new roads.
J. H. Mackey. road comr., was
directed to receive bids for the re-
building of the road so badly wash
ed on the west side of the Dickson's
Hill and report to the Board.
