TOO COLD FOR HIS HORSES,
so RURAL MAIL MAN WALKS

Washington, Ga, Feb. 81. w.
Combs. rural mail carrier on route
No. 6 out of Washington, has set a
new precedent in mail delivery which
has brought copious shower of ap-
prcciative remarks from the patrons
OF his route. During the severe freeze
of last week. when the thermometer
fingered around zero, the roads of
Wilkes county were frozen and so
rough that Mr.. Combs would not al
low his faithful horse to be driven
over them.
Instead he strapped his mail pouch
cs across his back containing first and
second class matter, together with a
number Of parcel post packages. and
travelled the twenty-six miles of his
daily route entirely afoot. When Mr..
Combs returned to the local office to
report, he was only one hour and a
half behind his schedule time under
normal conditions.

Augusta, Ga, Feb. "a suit for Is
cents was tried in a magistrate court
yesterday in which Mrs. Horace T
Bridges sued butcher Charles A
Gardner, because he would not refund
her money for 25-cent slice of ham
which she wished to return.
The meat was brought by bow
working for Mrs. Bridges. The but
cher explained to the boy that the
ham he had on hand would not please
the lady, but the boy. insisting. the
butcher gave him the meat and ac-
cepted-th money Mrs. BRIDGES re-
turned with the ham, claiming if was
not what she wanted and requesting
that her money be refunded. This the
butcher refused to do. telling her that
there was a board of health ordinance
which forbids butchers taking meat
back and then selling it to another
customer.
The fling of the suit followed. On
its trial, the magistrate decided in ia
vor of the butcher, and the case was
appealed by the husband of the plain
tiff, who declared he was prepared to
spend $500 to win the suit for Is
cents.

Look over the seed peas and beans,

Better inspect the cotton planting
seed, too, seeing to it that thew are
dry and not heating or rotting.
A complete crop plan for all the
farm should be outlined at once if this
