soft water in it, and no pumping has any sp-

= Demand for . Daily Mail.
Ford County Globe, III
| Mr. P e. Reynolds, who took a trip over
his mail route to Fort Elliott, Tex, returned
Thursday and reports a growing demand for
I an increase of mail facilities along his line.
We hope the people may soon get a daily mail
to that rapidly developing country. The
. amount OF mail matter sent 10 that section
seems TO justify such an Increase OF service.
Petition after petition has been forwarded TO
| the Post-Office Department, asking that said
increase of service be given tie people. ii is
to be hoped that our Senators ;and Represen-
tatives in Congress Will see mat justice Is
done them and that they nj least receive
favorable consideration al Their hanos. |
