hear me ls, don't get into debt. Starve
and go to Heaven, but don't borrow.

Most every week we lose some Of our
Rocky Heck Subscribers or account Of
the bad mails to that point. They tell
lis that they are anxious to get the
paper but cannot get it till the Wednes-
day, and sometimes Friday, after it's
day Of publication-Haking it from five
to seven days old when received. This
is indeed very damaging to us, and we
want to know if the people III this SEQ
tion have NJ rights to be respected by
the mail officials.

beautiful tintings of each lusciou'
moment OF enjoyment seemed but
reflections of the beautiful maiden in
