New Postal Law Now Effective

New Postal Law Now Effective
Under the former postal laws pack
aQe of mail matter or a letter could
only be specially delivered provided
that 1t had on it a peculiar kind OF
stamp called a special delivery stamp.
This has been changed and new reg
ulation went into effect on July the
first, which allows the use OF ten cents
worth of any sort of postage stamps
with the written words special deliv-
ery' or their equivalent, in addition to
the ordinary postage required
This renders it possible to mail a
special delivery letter at any hour
whether the postoffice is open to sell
stamps OF not.
The only requirements OF the new
law regulation are that both the regu-
lar postage on the letter or package
and the additional ten cents for the
special service be prepaid with postage
stamps Of some denomination affixed
to the package or letter, and that the
words especial delivery" or equivalent
be written on the letter or package
which can then be dropped into the
mailing box with the assurance that it
will reach it's destination in the manner
desired.

John Thornbure and His Connection
With Richmond in the Early Days

Mr.. Thornburgh was born in New
Castle in 1897, and at that time Maj
Martin L. Bundy, who is the NestoI
of the Henry county bar, was clerking
in his fathers store. Mr.. Thorn
burgh has large acquaintance with
all the practicing members of the Hen
ry county bar, most of whom attained
distinction in their profession, and
many of whom became leaders in the
affairs of the state. Judge Bundy
still lives in New Castle and is the
last living member of that coterie OF
notable men which included Oliver p.
Morton, Indiana's great war governor
whose statue will soon be formally
unveiled at the state house; Charles
III. Test, who was later secretary of
State; John S. Newman, Nimrod II.
Johnson, George w. Julian and Jacob
Julian; James Perry, who was father
of Gen. Oran Perry: Jehu T. Elliott,
who served eighteen years on the
bench of the Henry county circuit
court, and six years on Indiana's SUI
preme court; Charles II. Burchenall;
Gen. William Crosse; Joshua H. Mel
lette; Geo. Thomas w. Bennett; Will
liam A. Bickle; Caleb b. Smith, the
silver tongued orator of his time;
Samuel w. Parker; Benjamin F. Clap
pool; James Rariden; Gen. David
Kilgore; Jesse Siddall and Gen. Silas
Colgrove.
These men all practiced at the
Henry county bar and, as a boy and
man, Mr. Thornburgh learned to know
them well. They were all men who
later welded an influence on the des-
TIMES of the state, and his interesting
"reminiscences of them would fill many
pages. His later editorial work kept
him in close touch with many of them,
as he was associate editor of the New
Castle Courier from 1876 to 1880 and
on the Richmond Palladium from 1880
to 1882, and by virtue of his early ac-
quaintances and position he retained,
as a man, the friendship which, as a
boy, these remarkable men had held
for him. Mr.. Thornburgh was quar-
termaster of the Fourth Indiana Cav
airy, going into the service with
Isaac p. Gary, who was colonel of the
regiment for several months. Colo
mel Gary later was governor of Indi-
ana Thornburgh is vice-president
of the Henry County Old Settlers as
sociation, secretary of the Henry
County Historical society and secre-
tary of the Fremont First Voters asso-
citation. In politics he is republic
can, and it is his boast that he never
scratched a ticket. Mr.. Thornburgh
has been a Mason for forty-eight years
and knight Templar for thirty
seven"
