Rural Mail Trolley.

The Cream correspondent of the
GAINESVILLE Argus says that he has just
put up his trolley mail box carrier and
it works dandy. It is a contrivance
consisting of three wires elevated on
top Of eighteen foot poles running d.
agonally across forty acre plowed
field. The upper wire is stationary
while the two lower wires is an endless
chain to which the box is attached. 1t
is turned by crank at the house high
ly geared and sends the mail box down
to the road with lightning rapidity.
It is claimed to be capable of going
one fourth mile in one and half min
utes but like the automobile it is safer
to, run it a little slower. 1t is easily
operated, a child can operate it, that is
it the1child is old enough and strong
enough but where there are no children
in the family it is just nice little job
for the "good wife, while the kettle is
boiling. An invitation is given to any
one living eighty or one hundred rods
from the R. F. D. route to call and ex-
anime the thing.
