The r. r. o. Once More.

We have been earnestly looking for
| something TO appear in the BETHEL CoUR-
TER in defence of small postoffices and
stage service, and the reason why some
people are so bitterly opposed TO having
any change made from the customs of 100
years ago or more.
We all know they have powerful argu-
ments which they freely dispense to their
townsmen at home, which are potent and
convincing to a large number OF Barnard s
good and law-abiding citizens. And we
know OF no reason why they should not
give others, outside of Barnard, the bene-
at OF their advanced ideas. | am certain
that their arguments, il put in print as de-
livered in postofiices and nearby places,
would be read with great interest by an
army OF men and women who earnestly
look for the weekly visits OF this paper.
And am glad to know that the patrons
of said paper, who are fortunate in having
r. F. ID. service, get their papers on Thurs
day morning instead of evening, as under
the old arrangement, after doinga hard
days work and going several miles to a
postoffice, and then perhaps to find 1t
closed for the night, unless they were on
hand very soon after the stage left.
We admire the courage Of Mrs. Allen in
coming to the front in defence of the old
way of handling mail bags, and hope 9th
ers will follow and give reasons for the
faltn Wltnln themselves, anu We trust tuat
the COURIER VIII give them all fair hear
ing in the spirit of kindness.
The patrons OF the new voluntary mail
route scored point on Thanksgiving day
when they had their mail at night. But
was not il rather rough on the one that
carried the mail for nothing, while the ru-
raj carriers were quietly munching turkey
with their families The new service
must be quite boom for Sharon and 1t
may possibly have the effect to raise their
postoffice rating TO a higher grade. One
thing is certain; the other end of the
route is doing all OF the hard work and It
seems as il the balance of trade might be
in favor of Sharon. 5. ID. PUTNAM.

about three doses Of the medicine. To my

pletely disappeared and ! was able to
