an enterprising man and had ac-

Country Post0ffices Are Rapidly
Disappearing

disappearing
A drive through almost any sec
ton OF Rockbridge reveals to the
observer the rapid establishment
of the free delivery mail routes
and the consequent discontinuance
of the country postofiice. The
government has no special desire
for the abandonment OF these
Offices, but In the very nature OF
the survival Of the fittest they are
closed simply for the lack OF
patronage.
Thus passes one of the fixtures
of olden times. For over half a
century country postoffices have
been the meeting places for the
farmers of the neighborhood. IL
was in these places that public
questions have been freely discuss
ed. General news ana local news
of all kinds radiated from these
little gatherings and every family
in the community in this way
gathered what was going on In
it's own and other neighborhoods.
The arrival of the mail used to be
an event OF great Importance In
many communities. But this is
passing way.
With the closing Of postollices
many country stores will be closed
and business will be concentrated
to a greater extent in the towns,
and with the aid Of the telephone
many persons will be enabled to DO
their shopping from their homes,
The towns will In a measure ge'
the trade which heretofore has
been confined to the country. Will
the increase Of capital and enter
prise the towns will have theil
Wholesale stores and thus in some
degree prevent the cities IRON
getting all the business.
