We are informed by Mr.. G. w. Doak,
postmaster, that some parties are in the
habit of putting into the letter box letters
unsealed with only one cent stamps on
them. All written matter, sealed or un'
sealed goes as first class matter, and letters
that are put in with only one cent on
them cannot pass through the mails. See
Sec. 4sO Postal Guide, and do not make the
mistake in the future.
