not adjusted the yokestIaps to the horses, in
in order to prevent the carriage from rush

which is rather steep. She was afraid to ven
ture down and got out tied the horses and
walked to the village and asked Mr.. Greenbury

Fullerton, 18th District-In your special
correspondence in the issue of THE UNION of
last week see that Mr.. ST ''says that Rossville
free delivery is blessing to everyone who
patronizes it, but there is only one who
patronizes it on the Belair road, and wholly
out of pure 'spite' to the postmaster at Full
lerton and adds, it is safe to say that if we had
all such residents, Fullerton will never be a
railroad station" 1t is true that one man
could not get any stamps at Fullerton, simply
because he purchased stamps there, but got
l. al lo1 ID OH oe1o kA,to
keeping the postmaster from making the few
cents that fourth-class postmasters are allowed.
Now come, Mr.. IT., - is this not fact? If
you or any one else wants the proof we can
give it to you. Is it not also true that a man
laid charges against the postmaster at Fuller
ton and they were turned down by both the
Baltimore and Washington officials? Now we
get two mails day where we formerly got but
one, and that at 4.30 p. NJ, and it was through
no exertion on the part of Mr.. ct" We pro-
pose to hold on to what we have until we get
something better, and we believe that Mr..
"T.' has no idea oft.
AS for Progress in your local columns of
the same issne. would say that it is not our
intention to deprive our "backwoods neigh
bors" of any convenience they may have, but
we do not want our two mails stopped on their
account. I would suggest to IT" and PRO
gress'' that they use their influence, if terrific
ry or distance is needed, to take in Perry Hall
and Kingsville and let us continue what we
have until we get something better.
