Mail Christmas
Packages Early.

Postmaster Bras6eld and AS
sistant Jerry Jeter inform the
Enterprise that they are making
every effort to handle promptly
the coming Christmas rush at the
postofice, working early and late,
but the public ought to cooperate
to the extent of getting mail, es-
pecially packages, to the office be-
fore mail time.
1t is the practice of many people
to rush to the postoffice with a
package to- be mailed after the bus
is hitched up and expect the post
master to weigh, stamp and resiSter
the package and get it into the out.
going mail. This is impossible.
Neither the bus nor the train will
wait one minute for these packages.
Try and get your mail to the Office
early. or else do not expect it to go
out on the mail that is already
made up when you reach the office.
All these packages should be reg
istered, which takes some time.
Also, those wishing to get money
orders are requested to get them
before 3 p. M, at which time the
rural carriers commence coming
in, and at this season of the year
each carrier brings in from one to
a dozen money orders which have
to be made out and forwarded be-
fore closing time.
A little cooperation and con-
sideration on your part will wonder.
fully facilitate the handling Of the
Christmas mail.
