Saturday Night FrOlic.

the Third district, loaded up with a

Judge M. W. McLendon, who bound
him over to the city court under a

FIFTY MILE CARRIERS ARE
WATER BOUND ON ROUTES
People ON Long Routes Deprived of
Mail Three Days.

NHdBl
The heavy rains which prevailed
throughout this section last week
gave the automobile rural carriers
some trying experiences, especially
those who are serving the fifty mile
routes. The roads were so muddy
that it was difficult for the carriers
on the Dawson routes to make their
trips at all, and all of them returned
to the postoffice late. The fifty mile
carriers from Lumpkin, IN Stewart
county, were tied up for three days,
and the people living on those routes
were deprived of their mail. 1t was
impossible for automobiles to make
the trips, and the distance was too
great for a horse and buggy.
