The revival OF interests at this time in

RURAL MAIL BOXES.
Farmers Must Have Them or Mail Will
Not Be Deposited.

The order issued last Monday by
the postmaster general to the effect
that, before October | next, those
who wish to avail themselves OF the
free rural delivery service must pro-
vide suitable boxes wherein the car
rier may deposit their mail is COM
mendable. The order states that
persons who fail to comply with this
provision before the date mentioned
shall not be entitled to receive mail
under the free system, BY suitable
boxes" is meant. such receptacles as
conform to the specifications already
recommended by the postottice de-
partment. Thousands of these boxes
are now in use throughout the coun-
try.
An objection was formerly raised
to the purchase OF the so-called zap
proved free delivery boxes on the
ground that inspectors and other
agents OF the government were the
only persons from whom these arti.
cles could be obtained, and that their
charge therefore was excessive. This
complaint, however, can exist no
longer, inasmuch as all officers OF the
government will be prohibited here
after from becoming agents for the
sale OF such boxes. They may be
procured from any dealer anywhere,
and, so long as they answer the re.
quirements Of the department, they
may be authoritatively stamped
approved by the postmaster gener-
al" This stamp on box llinsure
to it's owner the full protection ofthe
law recently passed, which provides
that meddling with mail receptacles
on a free delivery route shall be re-
garded as a criminal offense.
The new order ought to perceived
gladly by our friends in the country.
The boxes specified are simple in
construction, yet durable and water
proof, and they cost very little. The
loss of a single place of mail matter,
through failure to provide one of
them, might mean more to it's owner
than the cost OF dozen of the proper
repositories. New York Sun.

Thirty Masked Men FlOg Kentuckians.
Tucker.

Harrodsburg, Aug. 6.-Thirty
masked men, mounted on swift
horses and heavily armed, caused a
reign OF terror in the neighborhood
Of Perryville, ten miles from this city,
last night, and severely logged Will
liam Goodnight, George Russell and
Wallace Bottom, residents OF that
section.
The men rode into Perryville from
the direction Of large cave north OF
town, which was the rendezvous OF
the tollgate raiders who terrorized
the community several years ago.
They dashed through Perryville
and proceeded to the house OF Good
night, on the Mackville pike.
Quickly surrounding the house,
they called for him to come out or be
cremated, as they intended to burn
the place il he refused. -
When Goodnight appeared, in re-
spouse to their summons, he was
securely bound, after which several
members of the party welded the
lash numerically. He was then
ordered to 60 to work, leave the
country at once or get a rope" the
next trip.
Leaving Goodnight, the whitecaps
went to the house OF George Russell,
in the same neighborhood, and gave
him a severe beating. They then
visited Wallace Bottom, whom they
served in like manner.
Goodnight says he recognized sew
eral of the party, and some arrests
may follow.
Some time ago notes, purporting
to be from whitecaps, were left at the
doors OF several good citizens, but
they were treated as a joke.
