DIRECT Your LETTERS CAREFULLY
The Postal Record says that during The
past year there were sent 20 the Dead Let
ter Office nearly three million letters. Six
ty-eiglt thousand Of these letters could moi
be forwarded owing 10 the carelessncss OF
the writers oniting to give the county OF
Stale four hundred thousand failed TO bc
sent because the writers forgot to put on
stamps, and over three thousand letters
were put in the poSt-office without any adj
dress whatever. In the letters above nam
ed was found over 500, 900 in cash. drafts,
checks, etc, etc, to the value of S3, 600, 600.
There was over thirty thousand pho
tographs contained in the above letters.
Ofcourse nearly all the money and valua-
bles Were returned 10 the owners. but much
needless delay. many chartas of dishonesty
etc, might have been saved if the writers
could have been little more careful, and
taken the precaution TO see that their letters

ing them in the post-office II is more than
probable that nine-tenths ofall the com
plants, losses and delays which are laid
to the Post-oflice Department; are in reali-
