increase in Business at the Postoffice

The results of the years business at the
local post office is so great an increase
in every department that Postmaster
Cannon and all connected with the office
have reason to feel pride therein. The to-
tai receipts of the office for 1901 aggre-
gated s19,412.77, an increase of S26i5 q
over 1900. The income of the office when
free delivery was established a little over
two years ago was less than $4,000, and
has increased much more than the total
expense of the new system, showing the
wisdom of the department in its estab-
lishment. The added expenses of free
delivery are S2675 annually, while the to-
tai expenses of the office including the
above were $9O9S IS; this taken from the
gross income above shows a net surplus
above all expenses of the year to be
$10,3lS49 The surplus of 1900 was but
$S04i.2S.
The money orders issued last year
amounted to Si9742.9i, an increase of
s12,1S992, while money orders paid
amounting to S54.02737 We're an increase
of $23,S2l.61, an increase of over 80 per
cent for the year. Both the registry and
special delivery departments show about
the same general increase.
December of last year rural free de.
livery was established covering a terri
tory of over % miles, and during the
month of December F. II. Mark, the

He leaves the post office about a. m.

Several years ago there labored In

sofa a preacher who was always in the
habit of selecting his texts from the
Old Testament and particularly some
portion Of the history of Noah No

would always find some parallel Incl

upon the novel idea Of pasting together
two leaves in the family Bible so as to
connect. without any apparent break,
the marriage Of Noah and the descrip-
tlon of the ark Of the covenant.
When the noted guests were all as
