REGULATIONS.

Ordinary Business. All the year round this Office is on Week Days open to the Public for Ordinary Business at 6.45 a.m. It is always closed at 8 p.m. On Sunday the Office is open from 9 a.m. till 10 a.m., and from 12.30 p.m. to 1.30 p.m., but the letter box remains open as on other days.

Money Orders. The public are recommended, when applying for Money Orders, to use printed "Application Forms," which save time, and afford greater security, than verbal messages, against mistakes. These forms are supplied gratuitously at all Money Order Offices.

The commission on inland Money Orders is :

No order is allowed to contain a fractional part of a penny.

No Money Order can be issued, unless the applicant furnish, in full, the surname and at least the initial of one Christian name, both of the remitter and the payee, together with the remitter's address.

A Money Order, when once issued, cannot be cancelled.

No Money Order or Savings Bank business is transacted on a Sunday or Sacramental Fast Day.

Applications to Return Letters.' A letter, when it has once been posted, cannot be returned to the writer, but must be forwarded to the person %Q whom it is addressed.

DIRECTORY. 21

Change and Bad Money. No Postmaster is bound to give Change, or is authorised to demand Change ; and when any money is paid at this office, whether as change or otherwise, no question as to its right amount, goodness, or weight can be entertained after it has been removed from the counter.

POST OFFICE SAVINGS BANKS.

Every Post Office Savings Bank is also a Money Order Office, and is open for bank business during the same hours as for Money Orders.

Deposits of one shilling, or of any number of shillings, or of pounds and shillings, may be made by any person at the Post Office Savings Banks, provided that such depositor shall not make deposits amounting to more than ^30 in any year ending the 31st December, or make any further deposit when the amount standing in his name, exclusive of interest, exceeds ;£x5o. When any depositor's princi- ple and interest amount together to ^200, all interest will cease so long as the balance of the account continues to amount to the said sum of ^200.

Interest, calculated yearly at the rate of £2 10s per cent, per annum, will be allowed on every complete pound deposited, reckoned from the first day of the calendar month next following the day on which a complete pound shall have been deposited or completed up to the first day of the calendar month in which the moneys are withdrawn.

INLAND LETTERS.

RATES OF POSTAGE.

The rates of postage when prepaid are as follows, viz. :

a letter not above 1 oz. , -',♦'-

-

Id

,, above 1 oz. but not above 2 oz.

-

IJd

,, ,, 2 oz. ,, 4 oz.

-

2d

,, 4 oz. ,, t oz.

-

23d

,, ,, 6 oz. ,, 8 oz.

-

3d

,, ,, 8 oz. ,, 10 oz.

-

3id

,, ,, IO OZ. ,, 12 OZ.

-

4d

A letter above the weight of 12 oz. is liable to a postage of id for every ounce, beginning with the first ounce. Thus, a letter weigh- ing between 14 and 15 oz. must be prepaid is 3d.

A letter posted unpaid is chargeable on delivery with double postage ; and a letter posted insufficiently prepaid is chargeable with double the deficiency.

ADDRESSES TO THE QUEEN AND PETITIONS TO PARLIAMENT.

Petitions and Addresses to her Majesty, forwarded direct, are exempt from postage ; and such petitions and addresses, as also

22 MREOTORY.

petitions to either House of Parliament, if sent to a Member of either House, are likewise exempt, provided they do not weigh more than two pounds, and are without covers, or are in covers open at the sides. No letter, or other enclosure, however, must be inserted, and if one be found, such enclosure, unless it bears the proper number of postage stamps, will be charged as an unpaid letter.

INLAND NEWSPAPERS..

For each inland newspaper, whether posted singly or in a packet, the postage, when prepaid, is one halfpenny ; but a packet contain- ing two or more registered newspapers is not chargeable with a higher rate of postage than would be chargeable on a book packet of the same weight, viz., one halfpenny for every two oz. or part of that weight. ^

A newspaper posted unpaid, or a packet of newspapers posted either unpaid or insufficiently paid, is treated as an unpaid or in- sufficiently paid book packet of the same weight.

The newspaper wrappers, which are of three different sizes, are sold at twelve for 64d.

The Post Cards, are not sold singly, but in packets of twelve for 63d.

INLAND BOOK POST.

The following are the regulations for the Inland Book Post :

The postage is one halfpenny for every 2 oz. or part of that weight.

A packet posted wholly unpaid is charged with double the book postage ; and if posted partially prepaid, with double the deficiency.

A book packet may be posted either without a cover (in which case it must not he fastened, whether by means of gum, wafer, sealing wax, postage stamp, or otherwise), or in a cover entirely open at both ends, so as to admit of the contents being easily with- drawn for examination ; otherwise it is treated as a letter. For the greater security of the contents, however, it may be tied at the ends with string ;_ Postmasters being authorised to cut the string in such cases, although, if they do so they must again tie up the packet..

Circular^ i.e., letters which are intended for transmission in identical terms to, several persons, and the. whole or the greater part of which is printed^ engraved, or lithographed,— rnay also. be. sent by book post.

REGISTRATION.

The fee for registering a letter, newspaper, or book packet pass- ing between any two places in the United Kingdom is fourpence.

DIRECTORY. 23

The same fee is chargeable for the registration of letters, news- papers, book packets, and patterns to the British Colonies, United States, Germany, Italy, Switzerland (via Belgium and British Post Offices in Egypt and Constantinople).

Every letter to be registered should be presented at the counter, and a receipt obtained for it, and should on no account be dropped into the letter box. If, contrary to this rule, a letter marked " Re- gistered " be dropped into the letter box, it will, " if directed to any place in the United Kingdom or the British Colonies," be liable to a registration fee of 8d, instead of the ordinary fee of 4-d.

The registration of a packet makes its transmission much more secure, inasmuch as, under ordinary circumstances, a registered packet can be traced through its whole course ; and thus the loss of a registered packet is a rare occurrence.

POST OFFICE TELEGRAPHS.

The charge for the transmission of an Inland Message, that is a message going from one part of the United Kingdom to another, is uniformly, and without regard to distance, one shilling for the first twenty words, exclusive of the address, for which no charge is made, and 3d for each additional five words, or part of five words. Any additional information which the public may require with regard to the charges on, and regulations for, the transmission of Inland or Foreign Messages, may be obtained at any Postal Tele- graph Office.

Telegraph business is transacted from 6.45 A.M. till 8 P.M. on Week Days, and on Sundays from 9 a.m. till 10.30 A.M., and from 12.30 to 1.30 P.M.

THE COXJTsTTY FIRE & PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE

IS ONE OF THE

Oldest, Wealthiest, & Cheapest In the United Kingdom.

By the last Official Return, its Increase of Business exceeded

that of every other Office in London. Established 67 Years ago, it has now a capital of nearly

TWO AND A-HALF MILLIONS.

While the Scale Rate of the Annual Premium contrasts more than favourably with other Offices, the BONUS ADDITIONS are extremely liberal. Thus, in November last, a £4000 Policy became a claim, and through Bonus Additions the sum paid was £9,039 ; and in several of the Policies presently in force in the Ayr Agency, the Bonuses are so large as to reduce the Annual Premium to a mere Nominal sum of a few Shillings on the £100 insured. Such liberal Bonuses are only to be had from an OLD ESTABLISHED and EMINENTLY SUCCESSFUL Office such as the Provident.

The characteristic feature of the Office is that while there are Shareholders and a responsible Directorate, nearly the whole of the Profits are divided among the Insured. At the last Division, out of every £100 of Profit, £96 12s Id was divided in Bonuses amongst the Insured.

Another exceptional and most important feature is that ANNUAL Bonuses are allowed when death occurs between two «f the Five yearly division periods.

FIRE DEPARTMENT.

In the Fire Department the cheapness of the Annual Premium is unsurpassed by any other Office ; and yet, apart from this, every Seventh Year the Profits of the Company are divided amongst the Insured, which, in the Fire Department, have been fixed at 25 per Cent., or about equal to ONE AND A-HALF YEAR'S IREMIUM, so that every Sixth Year only about half of the Annual Premium is called for, and every Seventh Year there is nothing whatever to pay.

In no other Fire Office do the Insured participate in the Profits.

As showing the amount of business in the FIRE DEPART- MENT, it may be mentioned that the amount at present insured on FARM STOCK alone exceeds TEN MILLIONS.

THE LONDON

CUARANTEE AND ACCIDENT COMPANY (LIMITED),

12 ST. ANDREW SQUARE, EDINBURGH.

(1) GUARANTEE DEPARTMENT.

Bonds are granted whereby the Company undertakes to make good, loss sustained by reason of the fraud or dishonesty of per- sons receiving or holding money, or securities for money, or en- trusted with property of any kind.

The undoubted responsibility of the Company is shown by the fact that its Guarantee Bonds are accepted in all the Departments of Her Majesty's Government, including the Customs, Inland Revenue, the Post Office, the Admiralty, &c. Bonds are also accepted by other Municipal Corporations, and by various Banks and Railways, and other large Companies throughout the United Kingdom, India, and Australia.

The different kinds of risk have been carefully classified, and the Company is therefore in a position to undertake the same at the lowest possible scale of premium.

There are special terms for guaranteeing all the members of a staff.

(2) ACCIDENT DEPARTMENT-

The experience of Accident Insurance Companies shows that one person in every eleven meets with an accident in the course of the year.

ORDINARY RISKS.

A Policy for ,£1000, if killed, or £Q per week while totally disabled, costs £3 per Annum.

<£500, if killed, or ,£3 per week while totally disabled, for 35s per Year.

o£250, if killed, or 30s per week while totally disabled, for 20s per Annum.

Partial disablement may be insured for an extra yearly pay- ment of 2S for every ,£100 assured.

AND

GALLOWAY CHROXICLE.

Established 1832.

The Tuesday Issue is published in the Afternoon, at Two o'Clock, and contains the Ayr Grain and Cattle Markets of that day, the London Corn Exchange Returns and Liverpool Cattle Markets of Monday, the Marie Law Review of the Corn Trade during the previous week, and the other principal Markets held at the beginning of the week throughout the country.

THE ARGUS AND EXPRESS,

A WEEKLY PAPER foe AYRSHIRE, PRICE ONE PENNY.

THE WESTERN ARGUS and A YES HI RE EXPRESS are now incorporated, and in future will appear under the above title. The united efforts of the Staff of Contributors and Correspondents connected with each of these Papers are now devoted to one, and the resources thus concentrated in support of the

AH&US AITS EXPRESS,

ENABLES IT TO TAKE RANK A3

The Best Weekly Paper Published in Ayrshire.

Printed and Published in the County Town : different Editions, containing all the Local and General News up to the hours of going to press, are Published to suit the speediest means of con- veyance to every part of Ayrshire Agents being appointed in every Village, embracing Mining Manufacturing and Agricultural districts.

As a medium for Advertisements, the Argus and Mispress cannot be over-rated. The circula- tion of the Argus, already much larger than that of any other Paper Published in the South- western Counties of Scotland, combined with that of the Express an old-established County Paper presents an unequalled medium to Ad- vertisers desirous of publicity among all classes of the community. In fact, no announcement can be fully brought before the Inhabitants of Ayrshire unless published in its columns.

A WEEKLY PAPER for AYRSHIRE, PRICE ONE PENNY.

THE WESTERN ARGUS and AYRSHIRE EXPRESS are now incorporated, and in future will appear under the above title. The united efforts of the Staff of Contributors and Correspondents connected with each of these Papers are now devoted to one, and the resources thus concentrated in support of the

ARGUS AND EXPRESS,

ENABLES IT TO TAKE RANK AS

The Best Weekly Paper Published in Ayrshire.

Printed ar.d Published in the County Town : different Editions, containing all the Local and General News up to the hours of going to press, are Published to suit the speediest means of con- veyance to every part of Ayrshire Agents being appointed in every Village, embracing Mining Manufacturing and Agricultural districts.

As a medium for Advertisements the Argvs and Express cannot be over-rated. The circula- tion of the Argvs, already much larger than that of any other Paper Published in the South- western Counties of Scotland, combined with that of the Express an old-established County Paper presents an unequalled medium to Ad- vertisers desirous of publicity among all classes of the community. In fact, no announcement can be fully brought before the Inhabitants of Ayrshire unless published in its columns.
