PARCEL POST
DELIVERY SER
VICE SOUGHT
VOLUME OF BUSINESS HAS IN
CREASED TO SUCH AN EXTENT
1T is THOUGHT DELIVERY SER.
VICE WILL BE INSTALLED.

The question of free delivery of
parcel post packages in this city is
now occupying the limelight, and To-
cal postoffice officials are of the
opinion that the volume of business
transacted here at the present time
will justify putting on a carrier for
this purpose.
The parcel post business has in
creased wonderfully in this city dur.
ing the past year and il is deemed
that the time has come when the
public is entitled to this service.
This would be boon to many who
do business by parcel post. and they
are many and getting more numerous
every day. A person would then have
the same service that the express
companies are giving, ard would not
be compelled to go to the postofice
for their parcel post shipments.

MORE ABOUT
DELINQUENT
PAVING TAX
LETTER RECEIVED FROM ATToR-
NEYS YESTERDAY STATE CON.
DlTION UNDER WHICH THEY
WILL ACT IN THE FUTURE.

Attorney j. T. Coleman received a
letter yesterday afternoon from j. w
Harbaugh, attorney for Splitter Roark
Co., and A. V. Foster of Toledo, Ohio.
as per an agreement entered into be-
tween the above named gentlemen
and the conference of the city of
ficials held at the city hall July 3, to
the effect that no deeds would be de-
manded by Mr.. Foster, holder of GER
tificates taken up by him on delin-
quent paving taxes on the various
paving districts of the city before
September l.
In his letter Mr.. Harbaugh states
that as soon as it can be done, a
statement will be sent to the mayor,
showing the amount of delinquent
taxes in each district, and for each
particular year. He also assures Mr.
Coleman that he and Spitzer Roark
Co. will cooperate with the citizens
who are delinquent to work out a plan
as outlined at the meeting of July 3,
when he was here. However he points
out the fact that it is important for
each and every individual owing past
due tax, to cooperate with the various
parties in the other paving districts
of the city, as it is impossible for him
or for Splitter Roark Co. to deal with /
each individual property owner
Due notice will be given through /
the press when the statement cover
ing the delinquent taxes has been re.
reived by the mayor.

PRACTICAL
METHODS IN
SCHOOL WORK
SUPERINTENDENT RICH IA r DIS
WILL INACCURATE A NEW SYS-
TEN WHICH HE BELIEVES WILL
BE SUCCESSFUL.

New and practical methods are
going to be employed in the city
schools the coming school year and if
the plans of Superintendent Richards
materialize as he believes they will,
and It will result in material benefit
to the pupil who is preparing to enter
the battle of life, and for the busl-
ness man who will eventually want
his. services after graduation
Mr. Richards is compiling list of
all persons in the city who are en-
ployers of labor in every form, and
is getting their ideas as to the best
training to give young men and wom-
en-, with a view of fitting them to
take their places in that particular
line OF business in the future.
Another feature that will be added
this year will be the manufacture by
the pupils in the manual training de.
partment of store window display
fixtures and offer them for sale to
the merchants of this city and vicin-
ity who have need OF such. This was
suggested by merchant OF the city
who has agreed to use the homemade
product whenever practical, and this
seems to be a chance for the pupils
to do something practical.
Superintendent Richards states that
it is going to be the aim in the future
to make the lessons taught practical
and all teachers will attach import
ance to this method in their classes.

Crops Look Good.

Russell Lathrop, with Madden &
company, who has been in the coun-
try northwest Of here doing some ad-
vertising, expresses delight with the
way crops are looking. He says corn
is very fine and the chances are good
that almost all the grain crop will
be saved. Cotton is very small, and
farmers have been unable to keep the
crop clean on account of incessant
rainfall, but few days of weather
like we are having now will give them
chance to clean the cotton fields.
and the crop ought 20 be looking
good soon.
