Editor Reporter: I visited my old mother and home recently and remained my time out and have returned to my home in Arkansas. I will write a short letter if you are so kind as to publish it. It will be the means of a great many of my relatives and friends hear- 1 ing from me as I suppose your paper reaches a great many of them. I made the journey home i alright without any accident. I found all well and all getting along alright and on my return I must congratulate the people of your oounty. They are getting along nicely. All seem to have peace and plenty, and are living high on the fat of the lark. ff&pus there is not anything to Mffßa ' feast on that they haven't got. It was a sad departure that' I had to take from my old mother, broth ers, sisters and frieuds not expect ing ever to return to that county any more. Jt has been 29 years since I visited that county last and my! what a change has taken plaoe, I had to look 2or 3 times atanyplaoe te reoognize it at all. There is the Iferae shingles that I carried up thA ladder 51 years ago and my iaiLar nailed them on the roof of the old homestead still sheltering its immates from the storming winters of that sec tion. One among the most inter esting scenes of my visit was the visit to the old cemetery at "Wins ton-Salem. There I saw the tombs of relatives and friends among the most noted was the torab of Maj. Pfohl. He wag commanding my regiment the 21at N. C., when he was killed. He was struck with a cannon ball in a very few steps of tne and he was carried back to the rear and I never knew what be came of him till I saw his tomb in that place. He was killed at Straus burg, Va., the day of Sheridan's famous ride as history records it now. Mr. Editor, I don't want to make my letter too long so you won't back out and not publish it. I must not forget to thank the railroad men for their courtesies to me. They treated me very nicely i on my long trip there and back. L. H. WALL.

In Spite of Report That Appropria tion for This Purpose Is to Be Re duced Strong Effort Will Be Made For an In crease. Washington, Jan. 29.—A deter mined effort will be made during the present session of Congress to obtain a sufficient increase in the postal appropriation to make it to extend the rural free delivery system over a much larger area than-heretofore. The friends to the system point to the remarkable growth of the systeai, its popu larity and immense value to the rural communities. On the last day of June of last year the ser vice was in operation on 32,221 iTural routes, from 13,599 distribu ting offices. From the reports of rural carriers which have been compiled in the division of rural delivery, it is shown that more than one billion pieces of mail were handled by the carriers in the fiscal year ending June 30, 1905, or, to be more exact, 1,387,- 057,711. The number of pieces of mail delivered and collected of the various classes, the value of stamps cancelled, the value of stamps sold, and the number of money orders sold, by rural car riers is indicated in the following statement: Registered mail pie ces delivered and collected, 1,357,- 823; letters and postals delivered and collected, 462,124,284; news papers and periodicals collected and delivered, 775,639,291; circu lars, delivered and collected, 121,- 701,480, packages, 26,335,863.

Gerraanton, Jan. 29.—We were glad to read your strong editorial 4 in last week's issue of tlrt "Re porter," in regard to the discontin uation of all R. F. D.'routes did not handle "more than 2,000 pieces of mail each mogath. Now in our opinion MrOortelyou would be making a very grave mistake if he should cause any of the rural routes to be discontinued; for if there is place where conven ience is needed it is in ."the coun try. While the deficiency in the P. O. Department was something im mense last year, about 115,000,000, still if the expence must be cut down let Uncle "Sam go to the city to do it. The carriers in the city are paid not less than S9OO a year there, and every one is near posl office. • -ijp. The people.of the country are already feeling the influence bf the R. F. D's. Nearly eyery (She is subscribing for some periodical and they thus keep in the outside world. £ The R. F. D's. are a great bless ing and we wish them a long , and prosperous life. We long for the time to oome when evtjjy family will have their mail delivered at their door. *- When will the time be ripe to have better roads in "Old Stokes"? We have no roads now. It certain ly looks dangerous to drive into some of the places. Ris simply out of the question to think of hauling a load now. An empty wagon is a dead drag for a good team. If we cpuld just awaken to the necessity of' the thing. We realize it alright at this season, but when summer comes it is for gotten. If we had a good maca dam road in our county, it would soon pay for itself. v The following is a list of stu dents who are on the honor roll. They have attended school at Dist. No. 2, Meadows township, for two months without missing a single day. "Preston Bowman, Walter Bow man, Susie Bowman, Ida Bowman, Luther Slate, Johnnie Tuttle, Barbery, Sadie, Clemmie and Her bert Browder, Mr. H. McGee will soon begin work on his new house in Ger * raanton. i Mrs. Hessie Petree is spending i a few days with friends and rela tives in Pinnacle, i 'Mr. George Charles has started a . dwelling house in the lower part of Germanton. : LOOKER ON. 1900 Calendars for 1906. Do you throw away your old calendars? A Paris statistician nas discovered that it is a mistake to do so, and being of an economi cal turn of mind, has discovered further that calendars for 1900 will serve equally well for 1906. As a rule, of course, a calendar is only of use eleven years later, and leap year upsets this cacula tion pretty often. But as 1900 was allotted 365 days only, instead of 366, the days of the 1906 week fit exactly those of 1900.—London Daily Express. Mr. T. J. Davis was in town last week. He told the Reporter that he had killed his big hog, which tipped the beam, after being dressed and cut into 5 pieces, at 478. More than 100 pounds of lard was realized. Mr. Davis says that this animal, which was a sow and only about 5 years old, had paid him $122.00 in pigs. MONEY TO LOAN—Bank of Stokes County.
