Editor Argus – The patrons of Rural Free Delivery Route recently established in 
this county ae expected to provide secure, weather-proof mail boxes placed near 
the highway in such a location that the carrier can conveniently each to deposit 
and collect the mail without dismounting.  A suitable box must be put up by the 
patron.  Unless this request is complied with within a reasonable time the free 
delivery service will be withdrawn from your premises.  Rural carriers are  not 
required to leave their route to houses which stand back from the road.  This is 
an order of the postmaster general.
The establishment of Rural Free Delivery does not involve the payment of extra 
taxes.  Those desiring the delivery however must be prepared to put up as 
already stated their own expense, appropriate boxes for the reception of U. S. 
mail.   The service is one of mutual accommodation and patrons are expected to 
meet the postoffice department half way in affording facilities for its 
operation.
The patrons of Rural Route No. 1 are hereby notified that the post offices 
Stark, Worthville, and Fincherville will be discontinued by order of the Post 
office Department on the 15th of January 1901.  Those living off he mail line 
desiring to be supplied by this service will give their names to Mr. Thos. 
Cawthon, the carried, and put up a suitable box as soon as  you can in which to 
receive your mail.
Those desiring further information can be informed by calling at Postoffice, 
Jackson, Ga. and also examine a suitable box left here for your inspection.
