SNOW PREVENTS
MAIL DELIVERY

Mail carriers over the county were
snowbound on last Saturday. An the
carriers from the Dresden office
were forced to turn back, their teams
being unable to travel the deep snow
in the cuts. In many places in these
cuts the snow had drifted to depth
OF six and eight feet, and only por-
lions of routes were made, and this
with great difficulty. Only one car
rier from this office collected mail.
and this was procured at q house
where he stopped to warm. Carrier
Reavis got as far as the Neal Smith
place. He broke his harness and his
mule fell to the ground. It was re-
ported that none of the carriers at
Martin even attempted to make their
routes.
Train schedules were also COM
pletely demoralized. The Dixie Fly
er, due here at 4:40, a. M, reached
Dresden about II o'clock. The 8:45
rain from Hickman got here at 5
o'clock, being snow-bound at Hick-
man, and the west bound train, due
at Dresden at 1850, reached here
about 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

PERMITS FOR EX-
PLOSIVE HANDLERS

All handlers and users of explo.
sives are now required to obtain a
license, or permit, which may be had
by making application in person to
County Court Clerk Jeter. A pro-
vision of the new Federal act is that
the applicant must appear in person
before the clerk before the license
or permit, can be issued.
This applies to both dealers and
users of all explosives, except small
gun and pistol cartridges, and Clerk
Jeter informs us he has supply of
the blanks on hand, and urges deal
ers and users to call for them.
