Of all the nonsensical mail schedules
the one between Lewisburg and Hills
boro, POcahontas county, takes the
cake. The mail for the latter place, I'M
til recently, left here just after the ar
rival of the Eastern mail. Now, for
some cause, we know not what, the au-
thorllles have changed this schedule to
leave here a.half hour before the arrival
of the mail. Therefore, the mail for
that section has to remain here i'm Lew
isburg until the next day. What sense
is there in this ? The mail carrier does
not desire it, and the people condemn it.
Let the business men along the route
petition for change.
The Sunday School of the NJ. f..
Church, South, of this place, has adopted
a new system for raising Missionary
money within the school. The Super

barrels, each of them holding about
$40 in coin. He gives each class in the
school one of these barrels, in which
the scholars drop their contributions
every Sunday morning for three months,
when breaking of the barrels will take
place, at public Missionary meeting.
The first breaking of the barrels will
be on Sunday night, the 26th inst to
which the public is most cordially in
vited. The program will be inter-
spersed with some excellent music.
