the routes to be made permanent.
Write letters to your Irtends Mid
subscribe liberally to newspapers,
it tur only three mouths, in order
to swell tlie number ot pieces ot

Take not only your county paper.

cheap, and are worth more than
you will be required to pay to
them. By adopting this suites

will be helping to insure the
continuance of your present
