SCHOOL TEACHERS

ANNUAL REPORT FOR
GRANT COUNTY READY
FOR COMMISSION.
Teachers Are Entitled to Annuity Al
ter 25 Years of Service. Ex-
aminatiOnS Held.

The annual report to the Teachers
Retirement Fund to the commission
was made by the county superinten~
dent of schools last week. The law
requires that all teachers who began
teaching or made their contracts af~
ter June II, 1911, must pay one per
cent of their salary to the fund. This
money is retained by the district treas
urer, who pays it to the county treas
urer, and the county treasurer, on the
first day of each August, sends it to-
the commission. The money is,
put on interest and the interest
on the found plus certain amount
given by the state is paid in the FORM
of pension money to teachers who
have taught % years and wish to re-
tire Unless the teachers retires al
the. end of that period she is is NOT
entitled to any of the annuity until
she retires. Should a teacher after
18 years of service become disabled
she is also entitled to an annuity un~
der certain conditions.
If a teacher stops teaching at any
time before Is years she will receive
back one-half of the amount she has
paid in, providing she makes applica~
ton within six months from the time
she stops teaching. $1185.66 is the
total amount raised in Grant county
this year as certified by the clerks
of the various school districts of
which Lancaster pays $94.7S.

The postoffice authorities require
that each box on the rural routes be
numbered according to the lists sent
out by them and that the patrons see
that their mail is addressed to them
bearing the number of the route and
the number of the box. For instance,
John Smith. r. F. d. ?, Box No. 10,
Lancaster, Wis" Doing this will in
sure prompt delivery and greatly as
sist the employees in getting out the
mail.

A rural mail carrier in Iowa says
he has a system of talking establish
ed, with an automobile horn he has
on his buggy. He says: When l
leave mail in a box for a patron 1
foot the horn; when there is no mail
l don't foot at all. and the patron is
saved a trip to the box. But when 1
want the patron, to deliver insured
or registered mail, l foot the horn
like the devil, and then they know
they are wanted and they come out to
the box, and that saves lots of time"

The impression that not sealing a
letter will make it mailable for one
cent is erroneous. Any written COM
munication Handwriting, typewriting
or carbon copy is first-class mail, &c
an ounce, whether sealed or not. In
vitations (written), sealed or unsealed,
require two cents postage, excepting.
of course postal card invitations.

a revision of the rural routes is TAX
ing place in many towns in the coun-
try. Heads of families are being re-
uuested to drop a slip of paper. giving
the name of each person receiving
mail at the box. People move away.
children grow up and begin to receive
mail and the new names have to be
listed to insure correct delivery.

Not many people seem to know or
appreciate the convenience of the
stamp books in warm, damp weather.
These books cost but 1c each in addi-
ZION to the postage value, and obviate
all trouble from stamps sticking to-
gether. They sell at 25c, 49c, 73c and
&C. The 25c books contain II &c or
"a 1c stamps; the 49c and &c books
are &c stamps; the 73c book is COM
bination "a &c and "a 1c. The stamps
are interleaved with oiled paper, and
can be carried in the pocket with safe
ty.
The increase in size of the parcel
post packages will probably incvrease
business in that department. Pack
ages of 90 pounds can be mailed TO
practically all nearby points very
cheaply and insured for 3 cents extra.
Packages can be sent C. o ID. for 1Oc
extra, and specially for 10c extra. The
parcel post service is coming to do all
that the express companies can do in
the cities, and giving service all over
the rural routes which no express
company ever attempted.

 IN SOUTH GEORGIA

Macon, Ga. December 70 Samuel Bland and Willie Stewart, negroes, were lynched near Eastman, Ga, late tonight by a mob, estimated at 200, which had taken them from the Eastman jail to- night, according to a long distance tele- phone message received here shortly be- fore midnight. The negroes bodies were riddled with bullets the message said.
 Before the negroes were lynched, Bland, it was said, implicated another negro, John Stevens, who, he claimed, got the dead mans money The mob sent d posse to search for Stevens, but he had not been found late tonight Stevens had not been arrested and his whereabouts were unknown.
 Batchellor, according to reports from Eastman, was robbed of approximately S100.
 At midnight the negroes bodies still were hanging to a tree where the mob left them. Telephone messages from Eastman said that many persons declared that more than 200 men were in the party which took the negroes from the jail some estimates running as high as 800.
 Police, it was said, declared that when Bland was arrested today, watch iden- tified as having belonged to Batchellor, was found hidden in his sleeve, and he later confessed toA a share in the killing and implicated Stewart The latter had not confessed to police, nor had either of the negroes implicated Stevens in their conversations with police according to all that could be learned tonight.

 act is decidedly the cleverest thing ever seen in Birmingham of its sort, and the audience last night rewarded him with thunderous applause.

 He fired twice at Vaughan with a shotgun and then struck the man sev- eral times with the weapon. Vaughan Is painfully, but not seriously, injured. The negro ran when Vaughan's cries for help were answered, but not be- fore Vaughan had his thumb into the negros eye, giving the searchers
