| w. F. George and former Senator
Hoke Smith, will both speak. The
convention opens at $3.50 a. m. and
will run through to 1 100 p. m. with
out recess. There will be no after
noon session as that will be given to
the crowd for enjoyment of the pic
ture show and swimming pool and
auto rides around the city.
Because of the large crowd and
limited funds and space, the Fitzger-
aldpublic can not be invited to at
tend the barbecue at noon. This will
be for the visiting guests and those
on the program. This regretted but
it would be impossible to provide dir
ner for all those VINO would wish to
attend. The public generally will un-
derstand and appreciate this fact to
the fullest. The Moultrie band has
been engaged to play for the oeca-
sion and big time is expected. The
merchants are requested to put out
their sidewalk flags in homer Of the
delegates on Monday, Labor Day.
! That this organization is fully ap-
preciated at Washington is proven
by the following which was publish
ed recently in the Daily Postal Bull
letin:
GAN employees of the Postal Ser
vice who are members of the South
Georgia Postal Employees association
whose services may be spared with
out detriment to the service, may be
allowed leave for as many days as

for the purpost of attending the an
nual convention of that organization
to be held at Fitzgerald, Ca, on La
Dor Day, September 7, 1925. Leave of
absence may be applied to annual
leave or, if necessary to leave with
out pay.
The actual time of postmasters re-
quired to attend convention, includ-
ing travelling time both ways, will be
allowed with pay and not charged
against annual leave, but upon a
postmaster's return to his Office he
must promptly report to the inspec-
tor in charge of the division in which
his office is located the number of
