CALLAHAN, who carries the mail between here and Ware P.O., employs a blind man as mail carrier, who, when Dry Creek is a little swollen, is afraid to try to cross. The person who is guilty of such malichouse? meanness is getting mightily low dawp. We all know Mr. CALLAHAN’s condition and know that his efforts, to make a living for himself are very commendable, and his services as mail carrier are entirely satisfactory to the patrons of the line.

On that day Mr. CALLAHAN’s deputy, Louis PIERCE, went with the mail. He was born and raised within tow miles of that ford of the creek and seeing it was past fording, did not attempt to cross. That is the only failure in two years, and no man in the county could have mad a better record.
