On l hrutmas eve night Mias Sue

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

ment was very enjoyable—it all came

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! K Crosby.
