HOME NOTES
BY JENNY WREN

The presentd day vogue for chintz
has brought to light many Interesting
old designs. The motif sketched dates
back TO the period of Queen Anne
|Q702-1714t and, like most of its kind,
plainly shows its derivation from the
bold floral designs of the famous

The colorings are mauve. pale red
old yellow. and a clear, soft green on
a cream background 1t is not hard TO
imagine this chintz at the windows of
"a bedroom furnished with graceful
walnut furniture of the Queen Anne
period. The walls might be painted
pale apple green. with ivory wood
work; the dressing table and bed
draped in plain mauve chintz.
This chintZ design is procurable to

WILL BE NO MAIL
ON CHRISTMAS DAY
DAW SON POSTMASTER HAS
RECEIVED INSTRUCTIONS
FROM WASHINGTON.

The postmaster general reports that
wide approval has greeted the recent
announcement that there will be no
mail deliveries on Christmas day.
He has issued orders to postmasters
throughout the country that their Of
fees will be closed all day Christmas
except for the dispatch OF special de-
livery letters and parcels and special
handling letters and parcels, and pa
irons of the Dawson and other post
Offices in this section should act ac-
cordingly.
OF course the ruling applies only to
the coming Christmas, being in the
nature of an experiment, the success
or failure of which will determine the
procedure next year.
The postmaster general was enabled
to take the course he did as result
OF the success of early mailing cam
paigns conducted in past years
through the press and the movie"
and over the radio, which had the eff
feet of moving the peak of holiday
mailing back far enough to justify
the experiment.
Officials of the department who are
watching the experiment closely have
the utmost confidence that it will go
through without hitch, and that
Christmas day Of the future will be
a day of rest for the postman and the
postal clerk.
To accomplish this purpose-and it
is believed laudable one-the Amer
lean public must mail holiday tokens
and greetings in time for delivery at
least before the close OF business De
cember oath.
If there is any appreciate mail LETT
over for delivery on December 10th
it will initiate against the chances OF
postal workers for similar holiday
in 1926.

Small Farmer Who Has
Made Big Success Here
Come to Terrell Four Years Ago
Without Anything and in Debt.

Terrell county is a mighty good
place to live and make money, accord
ing to E. c. Daniel, who farms on the
place belonging to Gerue Dunn at the
intersection of the Dawson-P PARROT
and the road leading from Dawson to
Jones mill, just two miles north of
Dawson.
Mr. Daniel works this place, con-
sisting of four horse farm, on halves.
He came to Terrell county from Pike
county four years ago, and, according
to A. E. Gibson, the county agent, is
making a success farming. He not
only grows large yields of cotton at
a profit, but has two cribs full of
corn, plenty Of fine fat hogs and one
OF the best turnip patches ever seen.
The latter consists OF half acre, and
it is believed he could easily load a
half car with turnips ranging in size
from one to four inches i'll diameter.
Mr.. Daniel informed the county
agent that he had plenty for his fami-
" to eat, owed no man anything and
had money in the bank, and that if
he can get one more good year he
will be in position to buy farm OF
his own. When he came to Terrell
county four years ago, he said, he did
not have clothes for his children, moth
ing to eat, and was in debt 'up to his
neck" He has not only paid out of
debt, but has made money and de-
clares that he intends TO make Terrell
county his home.

PAVED ROADS WILL
NOT INCREASE TAX
FACTS TIERS OF COUNTY
SHOULD REMEMBER WHEN
MAKING THEIR DECISION.

Very little opposition has manifest
ed itself to the proposed bond issue,
to be voted on January 18th, with
which to pave the principal roads of
the county. What opposition there is
seems to have developed from fear
that taxes would be increased to fig
ures that would make them burden
some. In this connection it would be
we'll to consider some of the counties
that have hoated bonds for paving.
Bib county has "A miles of paved
highways and the tax rate is % mills,
including state, county and schools. In
Chatham county, which has 81 miles
of paved highways and is paving as
fast as it can be done, the tax rate is
only 172 mills for all purposes
Some may argue that these counties
are larger than Terrell, which is true.
However, the bigger the cow the
more feed it takes" Chatham county,
for instance, has just as much expens-
es in proportion to its taxable values
as Terrell, and it is evident that with
proper supervision of the expenditure
Of funds there would be no marked in
crease in taxes. This is especially
true in view of the fact that the coun-
ty would receive 5000 for every mile of
highway turned over to the state. At
the same time these highways would
be maintained by the state highway
department.
There is doubt in the minds of
some as to whether or not the state
actually keeps up state highways, and
the matter was taken up with Chair
man John n. Holder, who immediate
ly replied that the state not only main
tains highways accepted by the de-
partment but pays into the county
treasury 5000 per mile for every such
mile of road traversing the several
counties.
No citizen should make up his mind
to vote against bonds until he has the
actual facts in hand.
