THE NEW SYSTEM
CROWDSOUTTHEOLD
Last Of the Star Routes Abolish
ed Yesterday.
Rural Free Delivery Takes the Place
Of the Star Route
System
NEW LOCAL MAIL CONTRACT

Today the last of the star routes in
the county passed out of existence.
For many years the mail has thus
been carried to country districts. but
rural free delivery has been the sys-
TENS undoing, and today the two re.
naming star route carriers, Messrs,
II. j. Burton, of the Blandville route,
and ]. NJ. Sheppard, of the Benton
route, retired from the service.
Beginning today Epperson and ad-
jacent points are being supplied by
McCracken rural delivery, mad the
territory beyond by rural delivery
from Benton. Msssao and other places
in that vicinity are being supplied by
Rural Route No. 2, Of this county.
and beyond this county in Ballard, by
rural delivery out of Wioklifte, Bal
lard county.
The Palmer Transfer company to-
day began hauling the mail from the
postoffioe to the depots, and from the
depots to the postoffice, having been
awarded the contract for four years.
The company has three new regula-
tion wagons, and will give much bet
ter service than has formerly been
had, IS only one was required until
this time, while the department now
requires three.
