Hon. John l.. Smith, Of Seneca,
was among the callers at The Cou-
rier Office last week, and his visit
was a most pleasant one. for we are
always able to learn something from
a conversation with him, and we en-
Joy hearing what he has to say. I.
was his first visit to us in quite a
while. He was Tor many years one
Of the efficient rural mail carriers
from the Seneca post office. and was
thus engaged up to within tho past
few weeks. We we're glad to learn
from him that the government has
recently retired him from active SER
vice on one-third pay for the re-
mainder of his life. Mr.. Smith is not
certain what the pension" will be,
for the amount will be determined
by means Of taking the average OF
his salary from the beginning Of his
service until the present time, and
there have been numerous increases
given the carriers during the long
period Mr.. Smith has served the gov
ernment. The amount. however. will
be In tho neighborhood Of $25 or
$50 per month. Mr.. Smith was among
the first carriers entering the service
In Oconee after the Inauguration of
the rural free delivery system.
