TO DELIVER MAIL
ON CHRISTMAS DAY

Three stamp windows are open to
the main postoffice and seven clerks
are in attenda .ce to care for the
crowds of patrons sending Christmas
packages. According to Postmaster
Hancock the business this year is
unprecedented, and has exceeded the
greatest expectations of the officials
here
tits announced that the carrier and
general delivery windows will be open
Sunday from eight to ten to accom-
modate persons in the residential dis
tricts who wish to call for their mail.
Deliveries will be made Christmas
day and with the additional auto and
wagon service which the postmaster
has provided, he is certain that the
clerks will not be swamped with the
heavy rush OF nils. and the conges-
ton due to late trains.
Uptown shoppers are urged to pat
ronize the branch postoffice at the
Imperial Cigar Store, for in this way
they will receive prompt service with
out waiting for large crowds to be
served, and will materially aid in re-
lieving the congestion in the main Of
