Allow One Mounted Carrier.

The post Office department has again
unlimbered and granted II concession
to the growing importance of lola.
The latest move is the allowing of ad-
dition money to permit one of the
present carriers to be mounted This
will enable him to cover more territory
in the east end of town, where the alb
sence of sidewalks and the long dis
lance in muddy weather would render
regular and prompt deliveries almost
out of the question under the present
system. Mr.. Kuykendall will prob.
ably ride the horse and the east siders
will be glad to know that the service
is being improved for them.
Business at the Office continues to
increase. Last year a special effort
was made to pass the $40, 900 mark, in
order to get free delivery. This was
done, but few people had any idea
that the increase continues now with
out effort. Mr.. Henderson says the
past six months will show twenty
per cent increase over the correspond.
ing six months of last year, 1t is {
good showing.
