Any member of families may unite

venience to the farmers who, while
busy with their crops, cnn have their
mail delivered at their doors free.
Hut their co-operation is necessary to
make it a success. 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.

Well, Mr. Editor, ut last we are
through planting, and you know we

pears to us that the farmer intends to
cultivate the same "ole thing." Never
theless, some of our most progressive
und substantial farmers ure diversify
ing this year. For instance, one of our
neighbors lins several acres in onions,
and another has some velvet beans
planted, and two or three are going in
the hog business this year, for Mr. J.
N. Shirley ahme has between 40 and 50
