the mail on the routes considerably.
The rural routes will now leave the
local postoffice at 10 a. m, except in
bad weather, when it will be necessary
to use teams to carry the mail, when
the delivery will leave the office at 8

convenience to the patrons on the

their mail the day it is received in

Palestrina was a revolutionist In his

now be briefly resuscitated. Beetho-
