 MAIL WAS DISTRIBUTED.
Carriers Had Assistance in Getting About With Their Packages, Letters and Cards.

Never has the local postoffice been embarrassed in being unable to handle all that has been put upon 1t during the Christmas season, says Postmaster Caruthers, and it took care of ths greatest rush in its history this year. Everything was cleared up on the sec end delivery Monday, however, except some few packages which may have come in ~S--- the men went out. As usual the Christmas day mail was heavy for the carriers. and not few had outsiders to assist them in getting around with their packs. This was in addition to the express wagons in charge of substitutes.
 Not many packages were broken, all though number were tied up, and there were very few which could not be placed. Some small articles drop ped out of bundles and remain fin charge of the postmaster, but the mail for the greater part was in fine shape this year. The clerks and carriers did fine work this year in handling the big mail and the postmaster, who worked with them until late hours each night, was thoroughly appreciative of the ex- cellent work done by the force. The rral carriers had big loads and were veritabie Santa Clauses on their routes.
