Kaox colt quarter In SO seconds, ~ |
gait. AZ the track last week. This was

A petition hiss been sent In 20 the Post
Office Department for q rural free de-
livery route starting from the South
Paris post Office. The movement was
beaded by J. 2 King OF this town, who
secured the petitioners, and also pre-
pared a map OF the route which accom-
panied the petition. The route as shown
% this map runs through the King
HeighbOrhOOd aud the southern part OF
Paris and part OF oxford, aud up High
Street In Paris IL Is about thirty miles
10 length and the service would sccom-
mOdate about 1870 families. The petition
has the endorsement OF Senator Frye
ard Congressman Littlefield, and an
Official from the department Is expected
here soon 20 look the route over.
Under a recent order Of the Post
Office Department, any party who takes
contract 20 carry the mail on star
route must live on the route and give
The work his personal attention. This
EA desirable change, and will make
radical difference in the manner of let
ing those contracts. Heretofore II has
been the practice for professional con-
tractors 70 bid of two-thirds or more OF
these routes. and sub-les them 20 local
parties on the best terms they could |
make. The system has worked IN the |
Disadvantage OF the local contractors, |
sod has caused more or less confusion |
Tor the department and some detriment
70 the service. Aside from the profess
sional contractors, few will be sorry TO
see the new order Of things.
