RURAL ROUTE NO. 3
Change In Service Contemplated If
Highway Is Not Improved.

1t is understood that the postoffice
department will discontinue rural
route No. three in Blue Earth county
unless the road is improved and made
passable. The road through Eagle
Lake slough is in miserable condi-
ton and 1t is question whether the
carrier can get over this piece Of
ground much longer.
The postoffice department cannot or
der roads improved, but it can discon-
tinue the srevice wherever the roads
are in poor shape for travel. Unless
something is done to improve the road
referred to route three will be cut off
and the carrier will be sent out in an
other direction. This action will de-
prive great many of the service who
are now being supplied

Concert BY the Orphans.

The singing class of the Oxford
Orphan Asylum will give concert at
Cooper Opera House, Thursday even
ing, June 18th. Nothing need be
said as to to the character of these
entertainments as our people know
what they are and the object for
which they are given. That is suf-
fcient and the bare announcement
that a concert is to be given by the
singing class of the Oxford Orphan
Asylum ought to be sufficient to fill
tho Opera House.
There are more than 25O orphan
children, who would otherwise be
without the necessary comforts OF
life, being cared for at this noble in
stitution, and the money raised by

way toward its support without finan
cial strain upon any person or com
munity.
The concert will be given under
the auspices of Henderson Lodge, No
229, A. f. & A. NJ, and is well worth
the price of admission. Go, it will

Col Henry Perry Resigns.

Col Henry Perry, colonel OF tho
Third Regiment, North Carolina
State Guard, has resigned his commits
sion. Inability to give it the time
and attention required is the reason
assigned. Col. Perry has been IN

of Captain holding every position IN
the company except corporal. In the

REMEMBER THE ORPHANS.
4 Word About the June Collection
and the Importance OF 1t.

The MAY lumber of orr FdtherlcSS
O,es. published at the Barium Springs
Orphans Home, says this about the
special collection to be taken up in
the PRESBYTERIAN churches next month
for the benefit of that institution:
The Synod st its meeting last year.
and also at its meeting OF the previ-
Gus wear, directed that a collection
for the support of the Orphans Home
be taken in June by all the churches
within its bounds. SO far as remem-
bered there was no opposition to this
action. which may be taken as an
evidence that the Importance Of the
collection is universally conceded. 1t
is then difficult to understand why
this collection, the past year, was al
most universally neglected. and it is
to be devoutlv hoped that there will
be universal observance Of it the
present year, for its urgency is be-
yond question. 1t is true that the
date is not one possible for large
collection in any church, but this
only makes the taking of the collec-
ton in every church the more impor-
tant, that the number of the collec-
tons NAV ensure a total equal TO the
| amount which would be secured
should large collections he taken in
| but few churches. Let every pastor
then plan for a collection in June
| this year, and let no one omit it how
ever small the amount may promise
to be.
Dearly beloved, we will not again
speak to YOU before June 10Th and VIC

love your orphans and value theil
comfort and progress let nothing deter
you from taking the collection in june
for the Orphans Home. 1t is your:
