Postmaster Glass received a letter
from Congressman Jenkins few
days ago relating to the matter of
rural delivery routes asked for in this
vicinity. Mr. Jenkins had urged the
postoffice Department to send special
agent Walker here to look over the
ground and establish these routes.
The Department replies that his re-
quest will be granted and the wishes
of the people considered here just as
soon as it is possible for the agent TO
get around. The service has been
handicapped by the illness Of special
agents and this has delayed investiga-
