auto Tuesday and will use 1t to good
advantage in carrying the mail on

much if the patrons of rural mail
carriers in any other part of the
state receive as good or quick service
as is given by our mail carriers.

ment.

any rate the well wishes of host
of friends will follow them to their
new home.
