time, and then what disposition she
has made of the BraddOck mill will

sented to him Sunday, and the pop

ing the new postoffice building for

Postmaster Shepard desires to call
the attention of some patrons of
rural delivery to placing loose coins
in the boxes each time they desire
to dispatch letters. instead of sup
plying themselves with postage in
advance of their needs. This prac
tice imposes undue hardship on rur-
al carriers in removing loose coins
from boxes and delays them on the
service of their routes. The post
master. therefore, urgently requests
the patrons of rural delivery to pro-
vide themselves and keep on hand a
supply of stamps consistent with and
in advance of their needs 1t is
also very desirable that rural pat
rons place in their mail-boxes small
detachable cups of wood or tin in
which to place loose coins, when
necessary in purchasing supplies of
stamps.
