There appeared in last nesday's News a communica from Tradesville which nounced the postoffice depi ment as an institution wl cared only for the wishes needs of those who had inher; * the swell end of influence money and insinuated that present mail service was at as bad or worse than none at Such squibble is not only un; to the department but is an suit to the patrons of R. F. No. 7 who signed the petii praying the department for establishment of the serv Therefore I beg leave for a re to the communication in quest "Steve" tells you that we o enjoyed the advantages o good mail system. Let's c< pare. Take a glimpse at the i vice under the old star rc OJ gvvi?? Those who have lived in country can never forget the adequacy of such a system. : right here I may add that 95 cent of the patrons of the Trat ville office lived in the eounl or we might say. all of th< Well, the star route l>eginninj Tradesville went via 0. K., h '' Cut and Creek to Lancaster distance of 18 miles, the can making the round trip daily cept Sunday. He was schedu to leave Tradesville, if I mist not, at 6 a. m. and to returr 7 p. m. Of course when days were short and the ro bad it would often be 8 o; o'clock in the ' night when mail arrived at Tradesville. was often sundown when it rived at New Cut. after d when it arrived at 0.

Then if the carrier left n morning on schedule time would be gone before any lett could be called for. read i answered. So you see a pen posting a letter at Lancaster Monday morning to a patron the Tradesville ?. ce would ... be apt to get a repiy before W noo/1 o \?

Under the old s tern the service was simply diculous to those who lived fr one ty three miles from a p< office or off the route. Now ?' not only get a better grade service, but as the carrier d not go and come the same w more than twice as many peo are convenienced than before The postmasters of the old ( continued offices of Tradesvi O. K. and New Cut loved i honored their positions. T1 loved their work as all hon men or women should and nat ally they were loath to give up. but aside from the postm Hers, 1 am sure that 95 per c< - Y?uld much rather ha\o 1 resent service than the old s ' service. If the Tradesville p pie desire and need a postofi we certainly have no object to their getting one. We \ their friends and wish them w< but we think "Steve's" trou is largely imaginary. As to w the office at Tradesville was c continued, it was doubtless the same reasons that the offi< of New Cut, 0. K. and Cre were abolished.
