(i The following letter which felly explains itself has been sent to the Mayor and Toatmaster of Union, and we trust they will pot their shoulders to the wheels at once and get up a petition to C our representative in Congress, Hon. a Joe Johnson, that will leave no doubt in ^ his mind as to whether or not the people of Union want a free mall delivery ser- S vice for the town of Union. Let a list * be at once opened up in the Mayor's c office and at the Poet Office requesting c all in favor of free delivery to sign it. s Mr. Johnson is always willing and ready f to lend his aid^to anything oocking to the \ interests of his constituents and we firmly believe be will get us free delivery ^ for Union. We want it and we want it e bad, and we are going to try and get it. j We can meet every requirement and hate a surplus to spare.

I It will be reported out and become a law if all the Congressmen who ought to be 1 Interested will iusist cm immediate action so as to get the measure through i the Ilouae prior to March 4, 1903, at i which time Congress adjourns. I suggest that the postmasters and , mayors of towns Interested co-opetate, and to that end I am sending this notice to the 909 town to be affected. The bill has the official endorsement of the Poetmaster General, who, in his report to the Senate committee, said, the measure is meritorious in every particular.'
