four carriers out of Richmond
have experienced all sorts of
trouble and complain that their
routes are too long and that they
have too many boxes to serve.
Postmaster Beck said this
morning that there should be at
least two more routes out of
Richmond and that he would
ask for their creation. At pres

ering a total of 22O miles. Each
route serves from 800 to $50
boxes.

is so prone to give all attention to
the making of a dollar to the utter
neglect of religious duties. There

many more on the other hand who
ought to cultivate it more than
they do.
