The rural free delivery grows more unpnp'

constantly being new disadvantages and in

made satisfactory under our present system.
Our Frederick county and Pennsylvania
people are constantly urging us to get up a
petition condemning such work, and the fact
is that something must, and Will, soon be
done; because after all the people are the
government and those who are forcing such
a system upon us are only our servants, and
