When one Of two comhautnts begins to re-
sort Ia unfair means against ms opponent II IS
fairly good evidence that he sees the weakness
Of his OWE side.
Surely it is unfair for those individuals who
are ia favor of Rural Free Delivery 70 say the
~ ten is only opposed by the Post Masters
whose offices have been abolished. 1t Is a
81 ange thing that farmers can't even get .
hearing,
Why do parties who claim to be 'disintcr-
es,ed" seek 10 pat the lowest construction uu
the protest against this innovation
Why not try 10 get at the real truth Of the
matter OF course It Is impossible tor Assist
ant Postmaster General Heath, and a whole
lot Of the "high-up' officials to put themselves
in farmers place in this matter, but the
Bureau OF the Baltimore American, l4lO
PENNSYLVANIA Avenue, Washington, in reIolc
ing over the fact that additional free delivery
stations have been established at Manchester,
Just blunders along like blind man IN ITS et-
forts to sustain the new system, ami says II
will be retained in spite of the resentment OF
the poStmasIers, whose offices have been ahol-
iShed.'
How rNNAxLY that turn is. Trying to rep
resent it as though no one but the eN postnas-
tiers are protesting against il. Why is it so
twisted? Are those ''postmasers whose of
fees have been abolished the only men
whose prolestations are worth noticing?
Where shall the farmers aud other country
tax payers come in? They have been try
ing TO make themselves heard, but the head
men seem to have heard none but the post
masters who have been relieved of the bother
of sorting mail for almost nothing in the way
of salary.
Why this thusness? Is there surplus in
the treasury? Can the outgoing party, or
the in going party be hood -winked into max.
ing great appropriations for the furthering OF
this Rural Free Delivery scheme?

children, numbering forly-three in all, were
ushered into the main dining room about
O'Clock The attentive manager of the hotel,
NJ Harry Z. Crout, and his corps of efficient
walters, were omnipresent. Judging by the
leught of time spent in discussing the menu
all must have felt sit was good TO be there.
After supper the guests repaired to the main
parIor when vocal and instrumental music
followed until a late hour.
At the same place on Tuesday evening the
]. O. NJ. held their annual supper. Fully
fifty members were present and all were
pleased with the supper served.
The Mechanics were not as gallant as the
Mystic Circle. as they did not have their
wives with them. However, Rev. p Ii. Mil
Ter was present and had a watchful eye on
the brethren,

A protracted meeting in charge of Elder
John Saxton is in progress in the church here.
Lewis Myers had a stroke of paralysis on
Sunday Lasts he is improving.
Mrs. Susan Barnes, wife of the late Alfred
Barnes, is in very bad health.
George Harris, who had his leg broken and
otherwise injured in Robertsons quarry, is
improving.
About 80 per cent. of the complaints made
in regard TO the rural delivery system in this
section is owing to the apparently carlessness
in the way it is delivered The reason we
say carelessness is il seems reasonable that il
could be delivered regularly, especially to
those who have boxes, when one has the
names Of all the families on the route with
him and a months experience. Since we
have been favored with return mail leaving
here at noon, we have as good mail facilities
as formerly, and some an improvement, but
the mistakes are many.
