Early Postal Service in Columbia.

4oAlJ AOctdA bt&FANO Al NVAuAAbAas
The Columbia postoilice is one Of
the Oldest in the State. 1t was estab-
llshed in 1921, Charles Hardin, father
of Ex-Governor Charles Hardin, being
postmaster. Postmaster Hardin was a
shoemaker, and the building which he
occupied as postoffice, shoe shop and
residence is still standing, and is in
use, being the Oldest building In Col
umbla. The rate OF postage then was
somewhat higher than now, and it
was luxury to receive or send let
ter. Postage from Jefferson City to
Columbia was 6 cents; from Chilli
cothe to Columbia, 12l cents; from
Fayette TO Columbia, 9 cents; from
Rocheport to Columbia, 12l cents.
Mail was hauled between Columbia
and Jefferson City three times per
week; between other points In Mis-
souri, it was very irregular. Postage
stamps were unknown. Mail matter
was SO infrequently received that any
body who got any was supposed to
communicate its contents to bis
neighbor. The postmasters did not
wait to receive the news secondhand,
as Is evidenced by the following para
graph printed by a st. Louis paper on
July l6, 1882, and recently reprinted
In the Columbia Herald:
1.-THE postmasters in the rural dis
tricts are causing the patrons Of the
postofiice system not little annoy
ance and vexatior because Of the fact
that they read all mail matter
whether personal or not, that passed
through their hands Many subserib
ers Of this paper complain that post
masters refuse to deliver the paper t
them until they have read it. Som,
law should be enacted to remedy tbi'
rapidly growing evil.''
