Truly it has been quite a long since this correspondent has lime (■nth ten s letter to her Cuead, The Press and S am not so faithful as who is sometimes called the eunrespsndent because she is gsat in ga hering news and it—nothing better can be that he or she is good cause. Bnt I come now, with many apologies for my shamefully long delay in so doing, to form s^i ac quaintance with the new editor. 1 would have wetoomed him long ago and sent him a contribution for the paper, but I oould not and wl^en I oaaaot—well, I cannot. I am\ sure that I shall always like tbej new editor, just as I have liked kp ore deossson especially the*?! But the •‘Poet-sour is not so Imn^h in my good graces now, because since he left The Press and Stand Ad he it very shabbily|to be not having remem bereg one to write to it—or if he it he did not oare. Yds, Jthe “Best soul” has utterly forsaken an aid friend for n new one; s very as* old friend too, who deserves than to be treated in Such a confornii I would like to inquire oouoerning I B D, the oorrespoudent at, Round —what is the matter with him? Again he is remiss in s verb great fagree. Doubtless has forgotten ham terribly frightened be some damage at the mere .mention of a hmiatae tongue lashing he is new mediag a good one truly. Well, Christman has cook and fma with the jgjlsdnem and joy that gs It was observed 'this community in an ty quiet fashien, n you already suspected—that you are, have an at all with Mew* There was toasting to be sure little merry-making, except the children; some of whom before daylight on Christmas to herald the approach of with guns and fire works, who, in their way, had a very time. / Oat of the usual order there was hmaatosting too—I have reference to Ihabaaters who (ipent the whole day U the woods, leaving home at sun- rim and not returning until nearly it was a large party of gen* and boys, and s good many huaad-dogr, but, notwithstanding thptoet that they rooted several deer, they kroaght back no game at all— it mast of course, be understood by the inqairitive reader that the reason of It was that bad luck attended than. Do not imagine, please, that they could not aee to shoot straight because it was Christmas - truth »to tell, however, I did hear of one little bottle that was smuggled in and aronnd Mewville. but positively no* body got on s “booze.” You may wander what the ladies did while the gentlemen were t hun ting—well, sa the weather was so cold and there was nothing to be done in the way of amusement; some ■at around the fireside nursing sad, bat sweet memories of the vanished pmf, while others not quite so sen timental, took a positive pleasure in helping to prepare the Christmas dinner—digressing s little, when your oorrespoudent helps to prepare a dinner on any day she is forced to do so by stern, ort^el, unrelenting neceesity. 11 There ia no pleasure (or her around the oooking-stove and the pots. Do not imagine that the last I mention is by may means the least. On l hrutmas eve night Mias Sue Wiliams, taacber of the public school here, gave an entertainment, which consisted in recitations by some of her pnpils, an address by her father, Hev R S Williams, and a Christmas tree. It was given for the benefit of the children and notwith- ' standing the evening was so exceed ingly trusty, a large crowd of the little folks assembled in dne season at the school house where it was held. They positively scorned the very idea of the cold weather keeping them from attending. Yes, they did indeed Altogether the entertain ment was very enjoyable—it all came off lovely; and in attendance were not only the yodthful and the middle- aged, bnt also some whose locks are taming silver—yet it matters not if the hair be gray, so that the heart is young.

Editor Press sod btandaid—I wish to writs a few words regarding rural fret delivery. I consider* it one of the best things that Oongrem ever did for the farming people, wae to establish s daily mail in their midst It adds to the value of any man’s place, and produots to have a rural route pass by or through it If I was going to buy a farm on which (0 live, one of the first things I would want to know, would be, is there a daily mail on or near it, or is it so situated that ooe oan be established? II sol wonld ba willing to give 50 or a 100 per oent more for it By means of a daily; mail service we oan heap in fcmeh with the pnoss of our prodnoe daily, and be prepared to take advantage of the high prices whan we have anything to sell. And apart from the financial, benefits derived ftan rand free delivery, there ft a kind of social feature at tached to it' We can bear from our friends or relatives who live in the section traveled by the rente. We can even hear from town; we oan taka daily papers, and receive them, while it is news and not have to wait till they become history, as in former days, and in boom sections even till this day. The rural free delivery is also good ■a an educator. The oensus show that there is a decrease of 40 per cent in cases of Insanity where there is fees delivery among the fanning people; as the farming classes seemed to be most subject to this sad disease. Other reasons could be cited why rentes should be established where ever it is possible to do so. And I think those who have the service al- ready, should appreciate it more, and should take more papers aud read them, so as to be benefited by their contents, and also to increase the mails and iusure the continuance of the route. . Now just a few words to the pat rons of Getsinger postoffice, who get their mail by R P D. There was an inspection of the routes by A J Knight, a routs and office inspector, and he was not altogether pleased with the showing that these routs make. In fact he first thought of calling them in and haring the *r vice discontinued. Later, however, he decided to continue them a while longer to see if the needed improve ments would be made. First, the number of pieces han ded each month is below the re quirements of the department, for the continuance oi daily service. Hence,! would suggest to those who wish a continuance of the d aly service, that they write more letters and take moro papers. Also be made mention of the ar- rangement of boxes—he said we must name and number each box, and it must be so situated that it can be served without the carrier leaving the delivery, or alighting from his vehicle, preferably on the carriers’ right, and not too high. 80 the carriers will begin soon, to number the boxes and pot the owner’s name on it And I would be glad if those whose boxee are on the left, that can conveniently do so would put them on the right hand side of the drive way. Anothor suggestion was relative to the condition of the roads. Bnt as this lettter to already too long, I will leave off and perhaps will speak of the roads and other things later. Pan!
