Rural Mail Regulations.
Third Assistant Postmaster General
Madden has issued a manual of in
structions for the conduct Of registry
business in the rural free delivery ser
vice. The most important innovation
provides for the registration Of letters
and parcels left in the rural mail boxes,
the carrier leaving the sender's receipt
in the box. Formerly it was necessary
for the sender to meet the carrier on
the route. Rural carriers are also re-
quired to accept for registration mail
matter properly prepared and offered
by one that meets them while on duty,
whether a patron Of the rural free de-
livery service or not Storekeepers on
rural routes customarily receive the
mail matter Of their patrons, delivering
it to them at the first opportunity.
Registered mail has not been delivered
in this manner in the past, but 1t Is
now provided that on the written order
which the addresses are required to
leave for the delivery Of their mail to
the storekeeper. Registered mail will
be delivered. except such as is endorsed
by the senders Deliver to addressee

Mr.. Robert Conrad, died at at. his
home near Lowrysville Wednesday
night of paralysis. The stroke came
upon him suddenly at about 6 o'clock
in the evening, and death followed
three hours later at 9 o'clock. Mr.. Cor
spent his life. He went to the war
as a member of Company A, Twelfth
regiment under command Of the late
Captain l.. M. Grist. He made good
soldier, and was popular with his COM
rades, who distorted his name into
"Coonrod," by which name he was fa-
miliarly known up to the time of his
death. After the war, he settled down
on his farm, and probably did as much
to show the wonderful capabilities
Of the soil and climate of this section
as did any other man in the country.
