Educational Test Questions.

While Professor Miliers test ques- tions are very profound, he omitted to propound few that are very essential to a liberal education, viz: Can you listen to temperance sermon and not snooze?

want Free Rural Delivery Kept Up.

Editor The Advertiser:
 We beg to bring to your attention a matter of serious concern to the pro- gressive people of this town: It is an~ ticipated here that two or three store keepers are about to or have petitioned the United States mall authorities to remove from us the present and indis- pensibls rural free delivery mail ser vice and give as a substitute the now antiquated and absurd old way of hav- Ing postoffices in few stores. This IS not in keeping with the progress of this community. We want and must have the rural free delivery. It is the desire of everybody here to the man with the exception of the one or two aforemen- tioned store keepers, whose sole aim. # the cancellation of stamps would ac- crue to them. We can prove to you that subscriptions to your paper have increased since we have had a daily read the morning papers, and get their mail every day. Won't you take this matter up and help us with the author tiles? We want the free rural delivery system to stand.
