NEW RULE is IN EFFECT.
Mutual Light and Water Company
Does Away With Collectors.

The Mutual Light and Water com.
pany put into effect this month a
new system of collecting its hills for
light. water and gas, which is expect
ed to prove satisfactory to the Gus
toners and the company as well.
AS is well known in the mast tba
company has had a number of col.
lectors, who were employed up to
the tenth of each month. collecting
the bills of the company. This meth
Cd, however, did not prove satisfac-
tory. In the first place the company
had much difficulty in securing col
lectors, as employment was given TO
them only a third of each month.
ihen again many of the patrons of
the company were not ready to nav
the bills on the day they were pre.
sented. and there were other obiec.
tlons to the system.
with a view Of providing a more
satisfactory system the company this
month inaugurated a new system. On
the hrsl OF each month bills are mail.
ed to all of the patrons of the com.
pany, giving them TIE amount of their
lndei tedness, and they are requested
to pay these bills by the tenth of
each month OF course the new rule
IS not in good working order vet,
lhls being the first month of its trial.
Dut the indications are that it will
prove satisfactory to both the com.
pany and its many patrons.

historical postas, and would be glad of any that
are sent me. Especially those connected with
Cousin "Stonewall' Jackson's life, and those of

to send me magazines. While l am indeed CRATE
he'd for your kindness in asking me, please don't
send magazines to me. l do great deal of read
ing, but can only read books. l am too wea4sto
hold up the reading matter. I have fine book
rest, which the Sunshine Society gave me- and
while it is the very thing for books, l cant do
much with magazines it, So please send
your magazines to someone who can read them
for L know of many such. I still suffering
