FREQ mail delivery for the rural dis
trlcts is becoming more popular. al.
moss every one looks upon it with
favor, and we'll may it be favorably
considered when we remember tbf
great advantages it will bring to the
country districts.
The Monroe Journal very we'll saws
the following:
The government has not in wears
undertaken SO valuable a work 70,
the people OF the country districts
as that OF free mail delivery. Think
OF a man living ter miles from a
railroad being able to get the daily
papers, with all their news of the
whole world, the same day on
which they are published. Free
delivery will stimulate reading and
writing and bring the people in much
closer connection with each other. It
VIII make home life more pleasant
and when completed in all sections be-
stow many advantages not now enioy-
ed. The postoffice department has
been extending the system SO far as it
was able with the appropriation at
hand. The Postmaster Generals late
report showed that large number of
routes had been established and the
results attained most excellent. He
asks for large appropriation with
which to further extend the service"
