Editor Cecil Whig":-
"Citizen' writing from this place
on February 9TH, says, there is some
talk Of Free Rural Delivery Route being
established from Rising Sun or Port De
post" Citizen" surely knows there is
a route from Rising Sun to Port Deposit
ut the present time and has been in sue
ceSsful operation for some time Now
whether it benefits the Postmaster at the
sun or Port, what difference does it
make to us. BY the Free Rural Delivery
we get our mail brought to our door two
or three hours earlier than ut the present
by the Sun Route Some people kick
against everything new, but we have to
submit to new inventions and new dis
covcries. and as Uncle Sam is doing this
for our convenience, and ut the same
time prevent the Sun Route contractors
from robbing the people. Those fellows
buy routes at Washington. and then sub
let them often at fourth or onc-half their
bid and whatever benefits them will GER
tainly benefit the people Now the Free
Rural Route will be Il great convenience
to the farmer. as he can then get his
North and South mail every day by 10
or II O'Clock without leaving his own
yard, as we cannot all live at the post
office. Some Of us have to 20 from one
to two miles to get our mail under the
sun Route system.
"CitiZon' says we will not get the Sat
urday's "Whig" until Monday nj =
o'clock. Now as there is not one farmer
in twenty that goes to the poSt-otticc for
mail twice II day. | fail to see how the
Free Rural Delivery can operate against
the farmer.
Without patronage the fourth class
poSt-otiicc would soon be among the miss
ing. Therefore give us Free Rural De
livery. Give it ut once. Give us plenty
Of it. FARMER.

SMELL or OIL SICKENING
Christiana River EmitS an Annoying
NteDch

Much complaint is being made by
South Wilmington residents of the OBJ
noxious odor arising from the oil that
is allowed to flow into the Christiana
river at the fertilizer works, above
Market street bridge Particularly is
this stencil noticeable at ebb tide,
when the oil is nearer the surface.
In speaking of this nuisance one resi-
dent said: "The smell that comes from
the lone mill up the Christiana is
something awful. II is a matter that
should be investigated by the Board OF
Health at once. as we are actually suf-
fering from the siclkening stencil. AT
night we are unable to sleep, this suf-
locating Odor being waited into our
rooms when the slightest wind comes
from that direction. We hope this mat
ter will be attended to, and relieve lis
Of much trouble"
The smell was very much in evi-
dence this morning at low tide.
