NO SUNDAY MAIL

The recent U. S. appropriation act
for the fiscal year ending June 80,
1913, provides: "That hereafter post
offices of the first and second class
shall not be open on Sunday for the
purpose of delivering mail to the
general public, but this. provision
shall not prevent the delivery of spec
ial delivery mail
Under this law, the postmaster is
compelled not only to lock his gen
eral delivery window, but lock box
es as well, and the only mail that
will be delivered is special delivery
mail as above stated
The order goes into effect at once
In connection with the above, Post
master j. w. Fritz states that out
going mail will be handled the same
as before. So people can still con-
tinue to drop mail in the box near
the door.
On next Tuesday, Sept 3, the new
rural route, No. 2, with o. c. Adams
as carrier, will be put in operation
and the postoffice at Port Arthur will
be discontinued.
