Need the Parcel Post and Postal
Savings Banks,


Much has been said recently abou
a Parcel Post for this country. an,
strenuous efforts have been put fortl
to have the same established. u
some respects it would be a gooC
thing, in others it would not worl
so well. In this connection Ou1
Folks will be interested in a lette,
we have received from one of GU,
Austrian subscribers, Countess Agnes
Heussenstanem, Matzliensdorf be
Melk, who tells about the Austrian
Parcel Post. She thinks it is better
in some respects than the French
spoken of IN the Farm Journal fol-
January last.
In her country any parcel up tt
ten pounds Give kilos) costs sixty
hellers Twelve cents) it can be paic
by sender or receiver. Five heller:
is paid the postman for delivering
and he must deliver any parcel under
three kilos. What is above that ev.
cry one must fetch from the Office
unless they make a private agree,
ment with the let~ter-carrier and pay
him a tip. Any parcel over five kilos
costs an additional twelve hellers fol-
each kilo, so one is not confined to
size. Rural postmen make quite
neat little sums doing commissions
for praties. The letter-carrier of
this district receives two kronen
(forty cents) a day, no board. His
route covers about twelve to four
teen miles, and he is going from 6
a. m. to 5 p. m. There are many
applicants for the position when a
change is made, so the perquisites
and tips must add considerable to the
salary.
Parcel Post is the greatest con-
venience. The Postal Savings Bank
is also a great institution, especially
teaching children to save their mon
ey. Each receives a book, and when
they have ten hellers, or even five,
buy a stamp which is lightly fasten-
ed in at n corner. When they
have the value of a crown the post
redeems the stamps and the money is
put in bank for them, at three and
one-half per cent. The poorer class
es can put away small savings any
time, and it is as good as govern
ment bonds.
We are glad the Countess has put
in a good word for Postal Savings
Banks, for we ought to have them
in this country, and no mistake. 1t
is n of the saddest things visible
in rural life to see our young people

-..0- Of The Progressive Farmer:

Editor Of Tn PrOsFe
am glad to say that our visit to
Wilson County has resulted in an
Thor victorv for the Farmers Al
lance. We spent five days here and
,,oanized five sub Alliances with
obout 1875 members of the very cream
- Wilson County. With these good
Deople added to the six sub Al
Tances already organized, making in
81 eleven subs, justifes us in saying
that old Wilson County has rolled
hack and settled down In the Farm
ers' Alliance ranks.
We met many good people in this
county who won u love and high
esteem. We spent one night at the
GOOD home of E. J. High, much to
our enjoyment, and had the honor
Of breaking bread with his venerable
father, John High, Esq. From here
We went to Buckhorn, and spent the
night with Bro. Ransom Hinnant,
who, by the way, is a good farmer
and knows how to entertain. At this
place we succeeded in organizing a
strong Alliance; and from here we
went to Spring Hill, where we met a
great number of good farmers and
their wives and sons and daughters,
so much so that we had to occupy the
church instead of the school house.
We met with success here, and many
names were enrolled, and a strong
sub Alliance established.
From here we went to Wilson by
rail. When we reached Wilson it
was dark and raining but neverthe-
less We secured a horse and buggy
and driver and rode some twelve
miles to Startanburg to DR.. S. 81.
Crocker's. We found the Doctor an
up-tO-date fellow in every sense of
the world, | doubt if there is a
home in Wilson County or any other
for that matter, hat has more love
and sunshine and success than Dr..
Crocker's. No wonder he was chosen
to represent his people in the last
Legislature. Here we organized an
other sub Alliance to be proud of,
certainly in point of quality.
On Monday the 10Th we were met
IN Wilson by our good friend, A. w.
Farker, and carried some eight miles
north to his good home, and went
mat same night to Thompson and
met another big crowd, and 40 mem
Oers were brought into the Thomp-
son sub Alliance.
We went from here to Toisnott
and met with like success. Brother
otrlckIand has our thanks here for
Ie many kindnesses he rendered.
indeed words fail me to express my
gratitude to the good people of Will
sun County for so much kindness.
