Collection of Theru Works Needless Hardship on Carriers. l'osttnaster Geo. S. McOravey has received the following letter from the Postofflce department, division of rural delivery, which is given public ity for the benefit of the rural deliv ery service in Laurens county. December 10, 1009. From a recent count made by rural carriers in one of the counties in the state of New York of coins deposited by patrons in their boxes for the pur chase of stamp supplies, it was found that each carrier in the county was collecting an average of US one-cent ( coins each week. This average ap- | plied to all the routes In operation throughout the country would give the enormous total ofabout 300,000,- \ 000 one-cent coins. As most of these coins are depos ited loose In boxes, it is desirable that you and the rural carriers, in a tact ful and polite way, put forth your best efforts to induce patrons to pro vide themselves with stamp supplies In advance of their needs, and to equip their boxes with suitable coin-holding receptacles. It should be explained to patrons that the picking of loose coins from boxes not only results in needless hardship and suffering to carriers in winter weather, delays the delivery and collection of the mails, but frequently results In actual money loss to the carriers, for If, in collect- 1 lug coins from boxes, they drop them Into the snow or on the ground with- , out recovery, they are required to replace the amount out of their own funds. if it can be done without expense to the Department, announcement of the foregoing should be made in your local paper.

Mrs. Goodman, whose maiden name was Miss 101 la Fuller, was 0 woman of sterling worth, a true woman In every respect; the old and the young alike loved and respected her. She was a perfect homemaker. and although her presence Is sadly missed, her sweet influence yet lives. Besides her husband and two child ren Mrs. Goodman leaves one sister, Mrs. Lewis Dantzler of Hodges, and four brothers, J. R. Fuller of Cross Hill, Dr. Lawrence Fuller of Laurens, Ernest Fuller of Clinton and Gettls Fuller ofAbbeville. Our hearts yearn with sympathy for the dear children and devoted hus band, for she was indeed bis joy and life; be always found her greatest pleasure in her company. All who knew Mr. and Mrs. Goodman spoke of how congenially they spent their wedded life. To the bereaved ones we would say, there is one more link in heaven for you. Our all-wise Father never makes a mistake. Her place was prepared and she was called to fill it and it may be a very short time when you shall se<> her face to face and clasp in your's the vanished band and walk and talk together there.
