Many Advantages of Rural Delivery

Free rural delivery has. in the opin-
ion of the postoffice department, in
creased the postal receipts, increased
the number of newspapers and mag
azines read, enhanced the value of
farm property, improved the condition
of the roads, and is indirectly respon
sible for the farmer getting better
prices for his products, by keeping
him daily in touch with the markets.
But the best point made was when
the official said that Ito these mater
ial advantages may be added the edu-
cational benefits conferred by reliev-
ing the monotony of farm life through
ready access to wholesale literature,
and the keeping of all rural residents,
the young people rs we'll as their cid =
ers, fully informed as to the stirring
events of the day. The moral value
of these civilizing influences cannot be
too highly rated"

The advent of fall marks the closing
of the summers campaign and the
mind naturally and willingly turns to
the many and varied pleasures and en-
joyments that may be participated in
by the residents of Danville. There
are but few il any places In the coun-
try that can surpass our town in the
variety of it's out door diversions nor
is there any time Of the year when
one may participate in the amuse
ments offered with greater gratifica'
tion than during the season upon
which we are now entering.
An amusement, which this summer
has had an exceptional boom, Is boat
ing. When the bridge was swept away
the people were compelled to use boats
as the only means of communication
with the other side of the river. But
what was at first considered neces-
sity has now come to be a luxury. AT
any hour of the day one may see the
river dotted with boats, many being
OF patterns that. before this summer
were unknown here. In the days OF
the other bridge the ancient fat bot
tom boat seemed to Gil all wants, but
with the breaking OF pedal common
ication with tne South side there ha
sprung up a veritable fotilla OF un
ioue and graceful craft. There ar,
steel boats and wooden boats, cush
ioned and csnopied boats. boats o
human propulsion. naphtha and gaso
line boats. 1t is hardly likely evel
when the new bridge is completed
that those who have become SO font
of aquatic sports will readily give
them up.

Base Ball Season a Failure.

The base ball season Of 1904 while a
most prosperous one in most of our
eighboring towns has been failure
in Danvlle. But two games were
played on the home grounds and the
attendance was so small that expenses
were far from realized and the man
agement decided to abandon the spor
for the season.
Previous to the past summer large
crowds have always turned out to see
ball game. DeWitt's Park proved
an ideal place for the sport and the
good showing by the Old Timers al
ways made the contests interesting.
With the poor accommodations for
getting across the river and the tire
some waits at the ferry landings in
terest seemed to wane. The trouble
to reach the park was too much fol

tend.

A Party Of Achievements.
Those who never do things run few
chances OF making mistakes. never lay
themselves open to criticism for any.
thing but their inactivity and their
presumed inability TO accomplish
things. Unable to shine in the direc-
tion Of achievement, these apply their
efforts and whatever activity they can
stir up TO criticism Of those who are
really accomplishing something and to
day dreams of how much better they
might serve II they we're given the
chance. These are facts as applicable

These conditions have brought about
the understanding that the Republi
