in boxes for the next quarters rent.
1t will be noted that all box rents
have been advanced, on instructions
from the postofice department. The
postmaster has no control over this
matter, the box rents advancing when
the postofice advanced one class. The
rent must be paid by the night OF
the 31st, or the box will be closed.
Patrons are reminded of this fact, so
they will not blame the postoffice if
the boxes are closed because Of non
payment of box rent.
