RURAL FREE MAIL DELIVERY
n. @. Larsh Here Looking TO the Es-
tahllshment OF Five Routes Lead.
Ing Out Of Bryan.

Mr.. II. G. Larsh Of Oklahoma,
who is in the rural free mail de.
livery department Of the postal
service has been here several days
making a thorough investigation
with a view TO establishing five
rural free mail delivery routes
leading out on that many of the
principal roads of the county. His
work will continue several days
longer, and when il is finished he
he will make a report that will de.
termine the matter. MIR. Larsh has
been over a considerable part Of
the county, and stated to an Eagle
reporter Sunday that the prospect
looks favorable to him, from which
it may be inferred that his report
will be favorable and that the
routes will be established. The
routes will be nine or ten miles
long, limit being twelve miles and
back, or twenty-four miles. They
carriers will leave Bryan about 10
O'Clock in the morning and return
in the evening, the service being
daily. The establishment Of these
routes will be great convenience
TO the town people as well as the
country people, and is step for
ward which the Eagle is anxious
TO see taken.
Mr.. Larsh's work embraces
surveying and mapping out the
routes, measuring distances, etc,
and is no small job. The map he
will make will indicate the home
of every patron Of each Of the five
routes, which will give quite an
efficient service throughout the
county.
Previous 10 the coming of Mr..
Larsh lists were circulated though
out the county and literally sign.
ed to secure the rural free mail de-
livery service. The matter was
taken up some months ago in the
business league and a committee
including T. r. Bate and Tyler
Haswell appointed, and have been
instrumental in bringing the matter
to the present favorable status,
with the assistance Of Postmaster
J. A. Myers.

To the Farmers OF BraIos and Sur.
rounding COunises.

The directors of the Central
Texas Fair Association at Bryan
have asked me to again superin.
tend the agricultural exhibits al
the coming fair, October II TO
goth. | desire that the best pos
sible showing be made in the
products of the farm, orchard and
garden, and at the same time
fully realize the difficulties under
which we have labored during the
past year. The floods of the early
spring and the long continued
drouth of the summer and fall,
make it exceedingly difficult for us
to get anything together that lie at
all creditable, but the idea is to
do the best you can. All are in
the same fix and consequently all
stand on a common footing. Select
the very best things you have and
bring them to the fair, and by ar.
ranging them properly We will
have a creditable exhibit and show
to all the world what old Brazos
and surrounding counties can do,
even under the conditions that
have existed this year. The fair
is a great thing for our county and
we owe il TO the Association and
to ourselves to help il out in every
way we can. Bring your exhibits
as early as possible. II you can't
bring much, bring little, but bring
something. Respectfully,
