OF Interest to q. E. D. Patrons.

Your carrier is obliged to make q
report of the amount in stamps, post
al cards, stamped envelopes, etc,
that he sells each day and to make
the report as large and favorable as
possible Tor the continuance of the
rural service, patrons should obtain
all such supplies of the carrier.
For the convenience of the carrier,
as well as the economy and conven-
ience to the patron, it is suggested
that patrons supply themselves with
stamped envelopes, which are sold for
53c per bunch of twenty five, making
The cost of the envelopes only three
cents per bunch and where an en-
velope is spoiled in addressing it is
redeemed at the postoffice or by the
carrier, so there is no loss from that
source. Aid the carriers in making
their reports look we'll and also in
preventing cold fingers.

Read what the press says of the en-
tertainment. THE Canadian .Ju-
bilee Singers of Hamilton, Ont, ap-
peared in the City Hall this eve
ming and rendered one of the best
programs heard in many a day.
The company is a strong one, in all
it's parts and worthy the most gen.
erous patronage. Madame Dorse has
a soprano voice of wonderful range
and tone, and delighted the audience
with her well chosen numbers" "
"Singing by the colored people al
ways possesses a peculiar charm for
the lover of music, and indeed last
night this was verified to remark
able degree"
"One number by each soloist was
not sufficient. Encores were de-
manded and cheerfully given. Hu-
NOR of good order had its place on
the program of old plantation mel
odies and southern songs. Mr. 5 R
Overstreet, a gentleman whose stat
ure could only be ascertained by
using a scaling ladder, was applaud
ed very vociferously in his rendition
of "Asleep in the Deep" the voice
lowering to such an exent at times
that one became anxious for the
fish and submarine boats beneath
the waters mentioned in his song.
We recommend them to any one as
being perfectly able to fill their part.

him silk scarf and a gold watch-
chain and charm. The presentation
speech was made in a very felicitous
manner by H. F. Hurlburt, which
was teelingly responded TO by Mr..
Whitcomb. The event was certainly a
great surprise to Albert. One of
the neighbors very kindly took him
to ride for the afternoon and when he
returned he found the company had
taken possession of his home. When
he "came to" he took hold and in
his hospitable way made everyone
feel at home. The evening passed
rapidly and at late hour the guests
departed, wishing that Albert might
have many more such happy events.
Among those present from out of
town were: Mrs E. 81. Campbell and
children, Miss Bessie Whitcomb, Mrs.

right? Brill prides bimself upon
having that time correct and in order
that there may be an end put to such
nonsense he has had printed and
placed over the clock a sign reading
