RURAL LETTER CARRIERS. Everybody Invited to Attend Conven- I tion and Hear Fourth Asst. P. T. DeGraw Answer Questions. Editor The Herald and News: d Please announce in your paper that the public is cordially invited to at tend all of the sessions of the rural carriers convention to be held here I next Monday and Tuesday. The a meetings will be held in the new f court house. The chief feature of S the convention will be an address on b Tuesday morning by Hon. P. V. De- 1 Graw, fourth assistant postmaster d general, of Washington, D. C. I am s sure that the patrons of rural routes t would profit by hearing Gen. De- t t Graw's talk as he is a splendidi speaker, and all who hear bim will i find his address both entertangtlf an4 insiiructiv6. . At the conclusion of Gen. DeGraw's ' address a question box will be open- d ed and questions written on slips of f paper and placed in the box will be c taken out..and answered by Gen. De- s Graw. The rural carrier and his pat- a rons are constantly meeting with per- a plexing questions that must be set- i tied on the spur of the moment. Take f the following questions for instance: s "Is it a violation of the postal laws I and regulations for a carrier to accept money and application for money or- , der payable to a whiskey firm from c a minor or boy under 21 years of I age?" "What must a carrier do when~ he has a registered letter to deliver and no one at the place can write?" 1 "A patron hands a carrier an un stamped letter and a 25-cent piece. I The carrier can't make change in money and the patron doesn't want the change in stamps. The carrier agreen'to stamp the letter if the pat d ron will pay him 2 cents the next day. i o Is this a violation of the postal laws t and regulations?" Carriers and patrons and any oth- c ers wishing to do so may ask any question that may come to mind and t I am sure all will find Gen. DeGraw's answers pleasant and interesting. E Let us have a full house of patrons t d and carriers on Tuesday morning E -next. 1 The ladies of the town and county Shave a special invitation to attend these meetings and to hear Gen. De iGraw's address. Many of the visiting carriers will bring their wives to the1 convention. . em TT. E. Wicker. eTO ENTERTAIN CARRIERS. ,fPresident I. H.
