Deputy Postmaster Breathitt
Sent Out The First
Package.
OTHERS IN QUICK SUCCESSION
Business At Local Office In 1912
Exceeded That Of
1911.

The parcel post system. went into
effect yesterday. The first package
to leave this city was entered by
Deputy Postmaster Gus Breathitt.
The package weighed IL pounds and
was addressed to E. s. Breathitt,
Marshall, Mo-, a cousin Of Mr.. Gus
Breathitt. Some time since E. s.
Breathitt wanted to get hold of some
good old Christian County smoking
tobacco" and wrote to the Deputy
Postmaster to send him a lot if he
could get il. Gus had no trouble in
getting the tobacco, but laid it away
and forgot to send it. When he
found the letter containing the re-
quest the o.he- day he concluded to
give turn to the new system in.
augurated by the Government and
made the first entry.
When the parcels post window was
opened the first time to the public
yesterday morning there we're sever
al persons waiting so send off pack
ages. and in quick succession they
were received and marked for trans-
portation to different sections Of the
country. There is 40 doubt that
the parcels post will become very
popular at the outset. There is no
reason why it should not but many
reasons why il should.
SO perfectly had the Post Office
Department completed the work OF
distributing instructions and blanks
to postofiices all over the country by
the day the system was to be put in
to practice that Postmaster William
son and his force were ready for
business and everything started of
with clock-like precision and as
smoothly as a piece Of well con-
structed machinery.
1t is gratifying to learn that the
business Of the local Office transacted
during the year just closed was far
ia excess of that done in 1911. Mr.,
Breathitt was seen yesterday and
said that he had not yet gotten

It is fair to assume that the small
producer in the country would be
willing to sell to consumers in the
| city at about the same prices that he
gets from wholesale dealers. 1t is
also likely that everyone lives within
fifty miles Of a farmhouse.
Purchasing your butter from the
| farmer. therefore. in quantities of
| two pounds or more. you pay him
| 25 cents pound. plus the transport
| tation charges-by parcel post
! from his door to your own. about 4
cents a pound. Compared with the
grocer's price. you save Z cents on
every pound of butter which you
|use, and you get fresh butter.
{! Two doze. eggs. in a suitable con-
tainer. will weigh less than three
pounds. Paying the farmer "A cents
for them, allowing perhaps 3 cents
for the cost Of the container. and
adding the charge for carriage. your
eggs would cost you 20 cents doz-
en.--a saving Of IL cents on dozen.
or nearly one cent on each egg.
| A three-pound chicken. with head
and feet amputated. would still
weigh less than three pounds when
wrapped securely. Buying direct
from the producer. it would cost ia
cents pound. plus 81 cents pound
for postage. lin all. 10 cents less
than you would have TO pay your
butcher for the same fowl.
The use Of the parcels post for
these three items alone would ma

sides insurinR the purchase Of fresh
products. And II it is possible to

producer. II is easy to conceive how

express. the transportation charges
would have been more than twice as
much. and the farmer would have
had TO cart the package to the rail-

Why Not Attend to Business?

We read in the Associated Press re-
ports of this week that Secretary Bryan
left Saturday on his vacation lecture
trip. Why is it necessary for our honor
able Secretary of State to go about the
length and breadth of his beloved coun-
try delivering leutures for financial
benefit, when he already holds the lu-
creative job at the nations capitol, by
appointment? Is the salary attached
thereto not sufficient for him? Why we
again ask, does Mr.. Bryan sell the time
he owes the country, to private audi
ences under the guise of vacation tour,
and thereby reap double header finan-
cially, is he personal bank, as by law
invested with right to sell or loan a dol
lar eleven times? Talk about graft
perish the thought! The dear people are
not all blinded by silver tongue oratory
tut, tut, Mr.. Bryan.

Two Changes

We beg leave to call the attention of
our readers, advertisers and friends to
the fact that we have decided on two
changes, which we have had under con-
sideration for some time. Beginning
with next week the Messenger will be
an all home print of six pages. This will
give us absolute control of all reading
matter in the paper each week also the
advertising, as there now is about five
to ten columns of ads each week for
which we do not receive one red cent,
accordingly we make this change. The
second change is that the paper will go
to press on Thursday instead of Friday.
Believing we can publish better paper
by this system and reach you one
day earlier, we ask advertisers to
furnish copy as early in the week as
possible and correspondents to do their
part, we will all cooperate.

THUGS SET UPON
PEACAbLE FARMER

Mrs. Irene Hunter, wife of farmer
living three miles east of Birch Run,
made complaint Monday to Prosecuting
Attorney j. P. DevereauX of Saginaw
of murderous assault alleged to have
beer committed upon her husband by
Ralph, Ike, and Atley Gray, brothers
of Birch Run. and their nephew, Semy
Hammond, of Saginaw, who is a son of
married sister of the three Grays. Upon
the information of Mrs. Hunter the
prosecuting attorney caused warrants
to be issued. charging the Grays and
Hammond with assault with intent to
commit the crime of murder, and Depu-
ties Wiltse of Saginaw and Dodge of
Birch Run were sent after the accused
men,
According to Mrs. Hunter, her hus-
band, who is over go years old, was at
home Sunday night when he was called
outside by the three Grays and young
Hammond, she alleges, and they forth
with proceeded to tie him up. They then
proceeded to beat him savagely, she
says, kicked him and maltreated him in
ferocious manner. He has since been in
the hands of physician and may not
recover. 1t is alleged one of his eyes
was partially gouged out but was put
back by physician. Mrs. Hunter says
she was also struck by the men who
threatened to kill her husband outright.
No motive could be given by Mrs.
Hunter for the assault, other than that
her husband had bought ten acres of
land which the Grays also wanted. Her
story was so circumstantial, so well
supported as to other facts by her
naDhnUS who came in with har that
derstanding why such a brutal affair
should have taken place, Immediately
sent after the Grays and Hammond.

w. G. T. u. NOTES.

A picnic or lawn party is being plan
ned for the next meeting of our Union
at the home of Mrs. Benjamin of Thet-
ford. A good program is being prepared
for the occasion and refreshments will be
served and good time is expected. Fur
ther announcements may be given next
Sundry. Hope all who possibly can will
try and be present. Visitors are always
welcome to our meeting. These open
air meetings are often very helpful
we should try and make this one a sue
cess. One of the cheering featured of
the onward march of righteous cause
is the fact that number OF of the daily
papers are coming out strongly for the
right side, both editorially and by re
fusing advertisements of vicious
character. Some Of them are even wag-
ing war upon liquor, tobacco, cigarettes,
etc.
The best argument that has yet been
made in favor of woman suffrage is the
opposition of the politicians who are
agents of liquor and vice interests, and
none but the liquor force amounted to
anything in defeating the suffrage
amendment in Michigan.
The general superintendent of one of
our great railroads, III. E. Hutchens,
says that safety must not be risked by
even one drink, and we shrink with
justifiable alarm from intrusting our
lives to one who has thus indulged. To
my mind any indulgence is over-indul-
gence, and it is not only dangerous with
railroad officials but every other occu-
patton.

childreninto healthy, happy youngsters,
by ridding them of worms. Tossing, roll

ANOTHER PROPOSED
STREET IMPROVEMENT
week a petition is being circu-.

Nj an improvement of Vienna and
ID streets The proposed plan is: ITO
have an eight foot cement gutter on
each side of the street and gravel in
the center of the street" The petition
is being signed generally, and will likely
be presented to the council at its next
meeting
We also have heard many say they
would sign a petition to dispense with
the services of night watch, which
job amounts to $l4.00 per week or S725
per year, and have this money expended
on the street, the idea is that more
benefit would be derived therefrom.
Enough money has been raised in the
general tax this year to make the pro-
posed street Improvement 1t would not
take long to do this work either and the
street would be putin a good condition
and with the stone and gravel roads
leading to the village that are now being
improved, how much better the condi-
Z tions would be this fall.
