Rural Route Information

A misconception seems to exist
in the minds OF many persons
served by rural carriers as to SON
of the duties of the carriers. For
instance, the merchants of Lexing-
ton are frequently requested by
their patrons in the county to send
certain articles by the carrier
serving their route. The mer
chant here is unable to comply, for
the reason that said articles are
mailable, and rural carriers are
prohibited from carrying any pack
age that may be mailable. Any
articles not mailable may be car
ried and delivered, provided such
delivery does not interfere with the
proper discharge Of mail delivery.

"Charley's Aunt" Next Week al
Opera House

"Charley's Aunt" the charming
three-act farce to be preeented by
the Washington and Lee Dramatic
Club on the nights of Monday and
Tuesday, November 2esh and 9th,
will not only open the season toi
the dramatic club but will be the
initial performance at the Henry
Street Opera House, which has
just been completed by Mr.. Pear
son.
The story of the play is that of
two college boys, and their love-
making is greatly complicated by
the failure of their aunt to appear
as chaperone for luncheon given
by the boys. Their college chum,
Lord Fencourt Babberly, is pressed
into service and disguished az the
aunt. The situations that ensue
are laughable to the last degree.
The fun is continuous and an even
ing of entire enjoyment is pro-
missed.
The play is under the personal
management of Miss Annie White,
whose reputation for successful
entertainments is too we'll known
to need comment. The sale of
seats open Wednesday morning at
Stuart's book store.
