Glenwood's postmaster, Ollie
Thorson, is great believer in
uP-to-date and modern appliances
and along this line has made
many improvements in the Glen
wood postoffice since he assumed
control. This morning he receiy-
ed from the department one of
the late model cancelling ma
chimes for automatically cancel
ling and postmarking letters. The
letters are placed on one side it
being customary to use pack
age of fifty to one hundred let
ters at time. The clerk turns
the wheel, when-presto change /!
the letters go spinning rapidly
across the machine, landing in a
package on the other side, each
stamp having been cancelled and
zach letter nicely postmarked and
ready to start on its journey.
Mr.. Thorson also has in his Office
Burroughs automatic adding
machine, which he hopes the de.
partment may allow him to pur-
chase Tor use in this Office.

The editor of the COURIER lost
his residence by fire the 18th of
January, 1908, and is now try.
ing to build another home. The
sympathy and encouragement
that some Keytesville merchants
have shown US consists in the
fact that they have done no ad.
vertising at all this season, while
others have done less this spring
than they ever did before. Why
is it? Haven't they got anything
to sell, or have they joined the
ranks of the knockers who use
their little hammer on whoev or
does anything to improve the
town? Yet the power of printers
lax is mighty, and the merchant
who is obstinate enough to ignore
it is only amputating his olfactory
organ inzorderto spite his phy..
siognomy, ana should invest in
a pair OF glasses that twill rectify
his myopis. K. =; i,1t - IS .

BYNUMvILLE, Mo-, May 8, 1908.
Mr.. EDIToR:-We make bold
to ask space in your columns to
PROFOUND few questions to the
county court, and hope the per.
tinenoe of said questions will
insure us the required space.
let. Why has the county court
never taken steps to adopt the
drag Law in and for this county$
Are they waiting for . huge
petition to be presented to their
august body asking for said
laws adoption?
Can they not see that it works
"a injustice on those whose pub.
lie spirit has caused them to put
their roads in good condition and
yet are unable to obtain creditpn
their time for suoh work donef4,a
When, oh, when will you open
your eyes to the crying needs Of
this county on the road question:
2nd. What assurance has the
people of the different townships
that you will notice suoh petitions
after the way the Bee Branch
petitions were ignored in the ap-
pointment of q Justice ofthepeaos
for said township? rsr,,.
1t is funny that nd inquiry
was made either as to the citizens
wishes or the qualifications of
the person 80 appointed by the
court to said Office.
Why, gentlemen of the court,
that mans wife, his household
goods and even the bulk of his
debts are now located in Sails
bury township. So, per SO, a.
the greater always includes the
less, 90 also the appointee must
needs claim for his residence the
rooms occupied by his wife and
household belongings, don't you
think?
Now If the court will inves.
tigate and if said facts are estab.
lished, do you not think it your
duty to rescind the appointment
and take up the petition already
filed and make an appointmentas
will best comport with the wishes
of the citizens of said township2
3rd. And while looking this
way can't you hasten the bridge
building already ordered in said
township, as one of said bridges
has been condemned and has been
dangerous for these two years,
On the main traveledroad

Cash In Advance.

Cash In Advance.
Beginning with the 1st of June,
1908, the COURIER has determined
to adopt the strictly oash.in.
advance plan on subscriptions,
which means that every sub.
scriber's paper will be discon.
tinued at the expiration of the
time for which it is paid.
We do this to save annoyance
and $50 to $50 a year paid for
postage on duns sent to delin.
quenrs, besides quite a loss on
subscriptions that are never
paid.
We have been making every
effort since April 3 to collect
amounts due us from subscribers
who are over year or more in
arrears and to whom we had to
discontinue the COURIER in or.
der to conform to the new postal
law which prohibits the sending
of q weekly newspaper to sub.
soribers, who are q year or more
delinquent, unless q ons.ceut
postage stamp is ::attsched to
each paper mailed to such
delinquents.
From this class of subscribers
we had about $500 coming. and
about S275 of that sum is still
looming" Notwithstanding We
mailed them two statements aud
then followed up with sight
drafts to all those who failed to
psy, we have only collected
about s25 of this $500 and we've
expended something like So in
postage, besides the necessary
printing and time required.
It is hardlys necessary, to add
that we are disgusted with Isuoh
q showing and have Iconcluded
that no man or woman::shall re-
main on the CouRIER's subscrip.
ton list after June unless: :their
subscription is paid ir advance.
We mean exactly what we say,
and ask that you read the date
date on the yellow tag on your
COURIER, and if your subscrip.
ton has expired you must pay it
in advance by June 1 if you wish
to be retained as a reader of the
Great Fsvorite Weekly.
We are sick and tired of spend.
ing our good money for postage
and losing from 5000 to $500
every year on credit subscribers,
who seem to take griml pleas.
ure in beating US.
SO, if you are not willing to
pay in advance you will:have to
part company with the COURIER
with our first issue in June.
Yours Respectfully,
