hasty departure of Hairless, who
failed to notify his friends OF
his destination or the probable

FARMERS Remember
RURAL MAIL CARRIERS

Some of our exchanges have
made mention of the fact that the
farmers living along the lines of rural
routes have contributed bushel or
SO of corn to the carrier. This is a
suggestion that might well be acted
upon by the patrons of every rural
route. The carriers have a govern
ment job, but it is by no means a
private snap" 1t takes a good deal
OF management to make both ends
meet when they are obliged to keep
two horses, live in town and buy all
the necessary provisions at the mar
ket price. The carriers of our coun-
ty have gone over their routes during
the muddy weather at a great incon-
venience, and are always faithful in
the performance of their duties. A
bushel of corn or so given to the
carrier would hardly be missed by
the farmer, but it would be a great
saving in the expense of horse feed
and the generous act would certain
ly be appreciated by the faithful mail
man.
