The rural free delivery is gradually wianing
favor among its patrons in this district Some
Of our business men say their mail never be-
fore received such prompt attention and early
response as it now does by the present sys-
tenn. Owing to the ready delivery of mail,
communication can be had by neighbors and
friends, thus saving the time and inconvenience
of making trip of mile or two for per
sonal interview, and thus the number of let
ters and postals will gradually be increased.
There are yet few isolated homes where the
carriers do not reach, but we learn the postal
authorities intend to improve on the system
until all are accommodated.

Donation To A Pastor.

Although the old saying. lit never rains but it
pours," does not express literal fact. yet it is
sometimes aptly used in figurative sense.
1t Is certainly rare thing for preacher to have
two surprise parties from the congregation at
intervals of only two days apart and yet this has
been the pleasant experience of Rev. h ]. Macalis
ter, of Carroll Charge, Reformed Church. On satur-
day night last, in the midst of driving rain, the
parsonage was invaded by a strong delegation of
members of ST. Matthews congregation at Pleasant
Valley, and on Monday night a still larger com
pany came. On these two occasions the Reformed
congregation was out in force together with host
of kind friends in the sister tLutheran) congrega
ton. On each night the ladies set table and Ice
cream and other refreshments were served.
The people came laden with gifts for the pastor
and his family, substantials and luxuries for the
house and corn and oats for the horse. After sew
eral hours each evening of much enjoyment, the
visitors left, happy in the kindly spirit which
prompted the surprise, and leaving the family to
the pleasant task Of storing away their gifts
