AS TO RURAL DELIVERY.

That not every one will avail them selves of rural delivery at first is shown by the fact that on the route of Herbert Lake he has but 30 families to whom to deliver. Frank Wildman in the north part of the town will have l25. An interested person who has had an opportunity to get some inside information says the regulations are not as arbitrary as has been gener- their own boxes provided they will put a lock on them. Any one can get their own mail when they chose or have it delivered when they do not get it before the carrier starts. There will be disposition to accommodate the public rather than be so dictatOrial many expect.
