BUSINESS RUNNING
AT POSTOFFICE
Started Slowly, but Indications Are that
Record VIII Be Established
Sunday Busy Day.

Business has been rushing at the
Brattleboro postoffiee since Saturday
morning. Up to that time il had been
tagging, although it was anticipated
that there would not be such voluma
of matter handled as last year. Il looks
now as though 4 record would be IS
tablished As a result of the increase
in incoming mail Saturday and early
yesterday morning two teams were kept
busy all dav Sunday delivering parcels.
SATURDAY. there were three teams en-
gagged for this work and again this
afternoon.
With two regular and three tenn
porary slbs in addition to the regular
office force every bit of the mail has
been handled without getting into \
Jam, and this morning before the arrlv-
al of early trains the office was prae-
ticallv clear More letters have passed
through the Office than in other years
and probably NOR parcels, although
they have not been o. such a bulky
nature.
From the two early morning trains
Saturday 81 sacks Of mail were dropped
here and 45 sacks from one of the Sun
day afternoon trains Considering the
number of trains which pass through
Brattleboro this is a small portion Of
mail matter which has reached here for
delivery, and the outgoing matter j.
proportionatelv largo.
Sunday was busy day at the office
and nobody had a day Of rest. In ad-
dition TO the letter mail IS sacks 81
parcels post matter was opened Ill the
forenoon. II the business warrants

The Arkansas delegation, 131 strong, representing one dele- gate for each 10 good roads boos. ters in each county, secured the next meeting of tbe National Good Roads Association for Lit tie Rock next year.
 This convention is probably the most important one i. the south, owing to the paramount of good roads and the contemplated expenditure of about S25, 100000 within the next five years in the 13 southern states for good roads.
 Arkansas will expend S2, ,640,- GOO on good roads within the next five years, having diverted her automobile tax for this purpose. The counties of eastern Arkan- sas are primarily interested in securing a route for the Bank head Highway. named in honor of Senatcr J. H. Bankhead, the father of the good roads move ment in the Senate.
 This highway will extend from Washington City to Atlanta, from Atlanta to Birmingham, from Birmingham to Memphis, from Memphis to Little Rock, from Little Rock to Fort Smith, thence westward to Los Angeles California. a distance of about 5000 miles.
