Rev. Mr.. Karr delivered his lecture on
opportunity to good sized audience
at the NJ E. church on Monday evening.
Mr.. Karr's lecture makes a fine evening

that life is made up of opportunities
and combats the poetical error that
opportunity only comes once in life
time.

When you get a small amount of freight
on the railroad now, direct the shipper to
get a box or bag large enough, and have
the same filled with sand or other heavy
material until the whole weight is 1OC
pounds. That will be the only way you
can get even under the new rule that nc
matter how much less the thing weighs
you have to pay for 100 pounds anyway
If the package weighs less than 50pounds
it will pay better to have it come by
express under the present system.
