an account of what he has learned and


One afternoon recently 2. S. Hitch
cock started out with petition to
congress for a free delivery and col
lection of mail matter at country
homes. He obtained three names.
Early the next morning he was gra-
ciously rewarded by receiving at his
door three large parcels of mail mat
/ ter. He feels well paid for his labor
and will furnish petition outfits for
free delivery and collection of mails,
/ gratis, to such as wish to try the ex-
pertinent. Had congress been in ses-
sion he might have received quicker
and larger results. He wishes to
thank those who signed their names.

Bradford, G. M. Curl of ST. Johnsbury,
