Postmaster James Ireland and Car.
rier o. M. Wright received word from
the department at Washington yester-
day that the petition for Rural Mail
Delivery No. 1 out Of Ryan had been
granted and that the service would
commence next Monday, October 18th.
Although the delivery was supposed to
go into effect September LIST, the fact
that it has been delayed 30 long had led
the interested parties to believe that 1t
would not go into operation before the
first of the new year, and consequently
everybody is happy to hear the good
news. This action Of the department
will cause the discontinuance of the
Barryville and Silver Creek postofices
and star routes, and 107 families will
receive daily mail. Ryan Reporter.
