My Lady's Manor, 10th District.-Hur-
ran A good thing at last is what the people in
this end of the 10th district think of the K. +.
| d. system. 1t is great benefit to both the
ordinary resident and the business man, and
| we wish to thank Uncle Sam for giving rs such
long time. Just to think of having to hook
up horse, and, if you haven't horse walk
three or four miles for your mail What would
we have done for mail during all the billiards
we've been having the past winter? Done
without. Weli L guess we would, but we
didn't have to, for our r. F. d. system deliv-
cred it at our box free of charge. OF course we
hear great deal of kicking from the postoffice
people and nearby residents, some because they
don't get their mail until noon, and some be-
cause they haven't two mails day. Well,
these people don't know how to appreciate q
good thing when they get it. If the mail was
thrown back to the old plan of going to the
Office for it for several months venture to say
when the r. +. d. came around again these
kickers would welcome it heartily and think
they had the grandest Uncle Sam on earth.
We don't see any difference between mail in
the morning or at IL o'clock, or even after, for
industrious business people and farmers never
stop in the middle of the day to read the news
papers about what other people have done and
made. They make hay while the sun shines
ty of work to do on rainy day. He calls these
his ''rainy day jobs" and only takes time when
his daily labors are completed to indulge in
reading newspapers, etc.
think if read correctly one of your cores
pondents said he could mail letter to Balti-
the star route from Cockeysville TO Baldwin,
but certainly fail to see how he could, as the
star route left Sunnybrook at about s o'clock,
or maybe q little before, for Baldwin and was
back at Sunnybrook by or 1.30 the same day.
| don't see how letter could reach Baltimore
- I~-k- IL
We mailed letter to Philadelphia on Monday
morning and got an answer on Wednesday
morning through the r. F. ID. system, and this
beats all the star routes we ever had.
Formerly we were on star route and had to
drive or Al miles for our mail, unless some-
body was kind enough to bring it to us. If
there was registered letter or special delivery
in the Office it laid there until somebody from
home happened to 60 to the Office. Then the
clerks would kindly mention the fact. Several
notes have gone to protest to my knowledge
because of the poor 1ervice under the old sys-
tenn. OF course it was all right for persons
living on the routes, but how about those who
didn't?
venture to say that those people who are
opposed to the r. +. d. sat back by their warm
fresides and watched out of their windows for
the carrier to put their mail in the box and
laughed up their sleeves because they didn't
have to travel around such. winter as the past
has been in the carriers place. Wefrequently
hear people say: THAT'S job would not
have" Then why can you not appreciate
good deed that somebody else does for you
when you wouldn't do it for yourself?
The R. F. D. system is fine thing and we
hope the residents of this State will in time
open their eyes and acknowledge the same, re.
Numbering the Golden Rule-"Do unto others
as you would have them do unto you" and
not be selfish.
Wishing to thank Uncle Sam again for CIV
ing us such a great convenience and such pleas
ant, accommodating. trustworthy carriers, /
remain A FRIEND TO THE UNION AND
THE r. f. D. SYSTEM.
