For quite Il while there has been q grad
ually growing inclination to make appll-
cation for q Sundays mail ut this place,
which eliminated a few days ago in q petit
ton being sent to the department to bring
about that result, and although q larger
petition against it WAS sent up. The first
was granted, so that from now on there
will be all unnecessary stir in the town be-
cause Of it, when the morning mai comes.
Just a little before the preaching hour in
the churches. This new departure will be
more productive OF evil than good in that
where one could be found whose temporal
interests we're damaged by not having a
Sundays mail, many others We're bene-
fitted by not having it. To find one who
had suffered to the extent OF one cent,
would be almost as difficult a job, as to
find the %proverbial "hen'S teeth" While
it cannot be denied, that few, very few,
will be benefited by a Sundays mail, with
equal certainty it may be claimed that
there will be but few who will not be DAM
aged, in that it will add another to the al
ready evil influences, which prevent the
proper observance of the sacred day, but
what cannot be cured must be endured"

The month of March, 1910, just ended
was peculiar in one or two particulars,
that the sun by day and the moon and
stars by night have, with only very few
exceptions, shone with their usual bril-
liancy, were badly obscured either by
clouds or smoke. 1t has been one of the
freest from winds, with but little rain.
For these reasons it will be long remem-
bered. Troupe.
