The free rural mail delivery has now been

riers are thoroughly conversant with the
work dependent upon them. The territory
covered by these carriers is all of Nemaha
precinct, outside OF the corporate limits of
Tecumseh and the enterprise is in progress
under the supervision of the PostofTlce de
partment at Washington for experimental
purposes. The farmers along the routes are
now acquainted with the nature of the
service and are quite pleased with it, To
have the daily papers, letters, etc, delivered
to their doors each day seems rare priv
ilego to them. The Tecumseh merchants.
however, are of the opinion that this cour-
tesy extended to the farmers by Uncle Sam
is somewhat injurious to their business. BY
having their mail delivered to them they are
not required to come into town nearly as
often and consequently business suffers The
service will continue until July l, 1896.
