Postmaster John G. King now
has the petition blanks for the far
mers of New Castle hundred to sign
if they want rural mail delivery.
There are a large number of far
mers in New Castle hundred who
live long distance from the post
office. The rural mail in other dis
tricts has proved regular boon to
the farmers. There is no reason
why the farmers in this section
should not get their mail brought
to their gates. The idea at pres
ent is to get the farmers to sign the
petitions and then they will be pre-
scented to the department at Wash
ington. Each carrier is expected
to cover route of twenty miles a
day. He will be prepared to sell
stamps, register lettnrs or issue
money orders. 1t is agreat accom-
mediation for the farmers. The
route iu all probability would be
the river road south and then to
the state road by Hare's Corner,
Farnhurst tothe Wilmington cause
way and then home by the river
road, passing the houses so thickly
populated at Rose Hill. The Gov
eminent has found that rural mail
delivery pays and therefore the ap-
preparation for next year has been
increased. 1t is expected that the
farmers OF New Castle hundred
will make an effort to secure the
service.

be able to recover its money pro-
vided the shad were shipped TO a

happens to be the case.
