Postmaster Page of Sandy Hook desires to call attention to the practice of some patrons of rural de- livery of placing loose coins in their boxes each time they desire to dispatch letters instead of supplying themselves with postage in advance of their needs. This practice imposes undue hardship on rural carriers in removing loose coins from boxes and delays them on the service of their routes. The post master, therefore. urgently requests that patrons of rural delivery provide themselves and keep on hand supply of stamps consistent with and in ad- vance of their needs. It is also very desirable that rural patrons place in their mail boxes small detachable cups of wood or tin in which to place coins, when necessary, in pure hasing sup plies of stamps.

The greatest was September with 9.68 inches or 4.72 inches above normal. Crop growth depends very much upon the rainfall during the months of most active growth and should be two inches per week to give the best results.

f The following lines were written b, the late Miss Mary c. Morgan and reat at the funeral of Mrs Clara D. Fair child, mother of Mrs c. H., Peck. Al the request of Mrs Peck these same verses were read at her funeral on Sat. urday: G>| Asleep; with the aged hands crossed on her, breast ... With the dear ones departed we lay hel
 to rest;
 The birds sing as sweet as the day of
 her birth, But they wake not her sleep in the
 beautiful earth; The spirit is gone to it's Maker, its God; %@l.. It is only the casket we leave in the sod. We think of her now in the mansion above, :3. With the Angels of light, and the Fa-
 ther of Love. All sin stains of earth washed white in
 the blood Of Him who atoned, the one Lamb of
 God.
 No sickness, no signing, no pains and
 no tears; Eternal, sweet rest through the long
 coming years. ... 5' We cannot but grieve to lay loved ones
 away, How sadly, we miss them words never
 can say. Sometime when the lessons of life are
 all learned, And the day comes we feel the last
 page has been turned , The veil will be lifted, and sharing ' their rest, I think we shall say that God knew
 the best.
 Miss Mary C. Morgan was sister ot Hon D. N. Morgan of Bridgeport.

lowing effect:
