All parties ulong these routes should have their mail, both letters and popers, sent care of "Rural Delivery Route No. 1 or No. 2" (as the case may bc,) and if their box has a particular name then that should also bo part of the address. This is in the nature of an experi ment, bnt its success will bc assured by a little care on the part of those who receive its service. Unless the address is properly worded mail is Hablo to be left in the Post?nico and much unnecessary confusion might en sue. The. carrier will be furnished with a supply-of stamps and postal foi tho convenience of all patrons. Mal colm Bnrriss has the contract for this County. JNO. R. COCHRAN, JR., P.
