Star Route Mail Service Bad

Patrons of the McConnelsville
Star route, in the vicinity of Meigs
covered by the Barnesville road i'm
provement, have been shut off this
week from their daily mail service.
Because of the road improvement
the Reinersville carrier is obliged
to take another route. For time
Mr.. Welch at big financial expense
TO himself, hired a party to carry
the mail on foot over the portion OF
the road he could not serve by his
mail truck. This he is not required
as per his contract to do. This Star
mail route, we are informed here at
the local postoffice, receives orders
direct from the department, and the
local office has not the authority
over this route that it has over the
regular r. +. d. routes leaving rhe
office. AS we understand it, the
government seems not disposed to
provide any additional sum to care
for the extra service now required
to serve those certain patrons.
Some are blaming the commission
ers, in not providing detour.
However, whatever the reason, the
patrons are anything but satisfied
with conditions at present, and they
can't be blamed. Neither can the
Star mail carrier, Mr.. Welch, or the
local postoffice.

Estimable Woman Called to Rest

Estimable Woman Called to Rest
Last week mention was made of
the critical illness of Mrs. S. N.
Smith of Malta. Her death occurred
Friday morning, June %, at 2:40.
While her health had not been of
the best for about two years, her
illness took more serious turn six
months ago, since which her decline
was more rapid. On May 20 she
was taken to the Bethesda hospital,
GAINESVILLE, where an exploratory in
cision was made which revealed that
her trouble was cancer which had
affected her liver, spleen and stom-
ach, and then it was learned that
her case was hopeless.
Mrs. Smiths maiden name was
Eliza J. Swayne and she was a
daughter of the late Eli and Mariah
Swayne of Marion township, this
county. She was born May 20,
1850. Her marriage to Mr.. S. N.
Smith occurred April 8, 1873. They
resided on their farm until about 18
years ago when they moved to Malta
where they have since resided. Be
sides her husband she is survived
by two sons-C. B. Smith, cashier of
the Malta National bank, and Mr..
r. F. Smith, manager of the Malta
hardware. Two brothers also sur
vfve-a twin brother J. B. Swayne
and E. r. Ewayne, both or Chester
hill. She also leaves five grand
children. Mrs. Smith was most
estimable woman with many friends
One feature of her life that stood
out most prominently was the help
and care she was always ready to
give in times of sickness. Before
| leaving the farm she was an active
grange worker. During her last i'll.
ness her granddaughter Mrs. Rob
ert Naylor cared for her.
Funeral services were held Sun,
day afternoon at her late home in
Malta, conducted by Rev. F. Gillian
of the Malta M. E. church. Music
was furnished by quartet compos
ed of Messrs. J. E. McKeown, I. c.
Young. F. M. Beckett anu A. C
Taylor. The pail bearers were Pau
Tolbert, B. S. and Harry Harris, A
c. Taylor, H. M. Finley and Harry
Cook The body was taken to Ches
| terhill where burial was made in the
Marion cemetery. Here very large
number of her old friends ant
neighbOrs, many of whom she hat
administered to in times of sickness
gathered to show respect to hel
memory.

ed to pay their respects.
The guests were met at the door
by Miss Kate Stanton who ushered
them into the parlor where they
were greeted bv the hostess Mrs.
Scott and introduced to Mrs. Jerrold

makes it a pleasure to know her.

Delightful Children's Day Ser


Children's day service was held
at the M. e. church here Sunday
morning, and at the Malta M. E.
church Sunday evening. The
churches were both beautifully dec.
GRATED, and the exercises at both
were unusually enjoyable, consist
ing of class songs, recitations, dia-
logues, exercises of various kinds.
One number in particular at the
Malta service we feel constrained to
mention, as we hear it very highly
spoken of. 1t was a piano solo by
Miss Marjorie Sheridan, which is
said to have been splendidly render
ed, and the prediction is made that
that young lady who is unusually
proficient for one of her years, has
a future before her in the musical
line.
