New Mail Routes In Effect.

The automobile rural delivery mail
routes OF fifty miles or more having
proved 10 be unsatisfactory in Jefferson
county, the postoffice authorities have
gone back to the old method and the
short routes OF some twenty-five miles
are again in style, the change having gone
into effect last Thursday. The fifty mile
routes made too big days work for the
carriers, and The expense OF operating an
automobile was not justified by the
compensation received. BY the time the
repairs and gasoline and tires had been
paid for there wasn't enough left of the
carriers salary 10 pay him fair price for
his work. Anumber OF carriers resigned,
and the postal authorities was forced to
return 10 the old plan.
The one long route from Shepherds
town has been divided into two routes.
B. F. Hartzell, who was among the lew
who had stuck TO the job. takes the upper
or west route, and John Skinner, a new
man, takes the lower route, supplying
patrons east and south OF town. Both
are using automobiles. The Charles
Town Office now has tour men instead oil
two, and the routes are also divided al
the other postoffices in the county that
have had the long routes.
A civil service examination will De held
in Charles Town on December lst, and
from the eligible list permanent appoint
ments will be made.
There are good many changes oil
postoffice address under this new ar
rangement, and subscribers TO the Reg
lister who will have a different address
will please notify US promptly so that we
may forward their paper 10 The proper
office.

On Again, Off Again.

Charles +. Nichols had a rather thrill
ing adventure last Thursday night. He
was driving from Maryland in his Ford
automobile and everything moved along
smoothly until he struck the Norfolk &
Western Railway track at Crows cross
ing a mile or two north of Shepherdstown
"a very dangerous crossing, by the way.
Here his car skidded and got off the
crossing right spang on the railroad and
headed southwark down the track. II
was an inopportune time Tor such a per-
Torrance. for the night passenger train
was speeding merrily toward the cross
ing. Fortunately Mr.. Nichols headlights
were burning brightly, and as the loco
motive turned the curve the engineer
was amazed TO see an automobile headed
in his direction. Not wishing 10 be run
down by Ford, he quickly stopped his
train before it bumped into the machine
and climbed down from his engine tc
investigate. Good evening"" saic
Charlie politely, as the engineer approach.
ed. Good evening"" responded the
engineer with equally good manners
"Was there anything you wished to set
me about ?" "If you would be so kind,
said Mr.. Nichols, 81 should like you tC
help me get my car off The track easy
"With pleasure, said the engineer, anC
calling The balance of the train crew Il
assist, they soon had the little old Fort
on the highway again. "Thank you
very much" said Charlie, land wheI
you get over our way some time, stoI

engineer, Goodnight" And then th'
passenger train proceeded on its way
nobody harmed. Charlie cranked hi

Nichols eventually landed safe at home
He at first thought OF trading off his ca
for wheelbarrow, but after considering
the matter he concluded to give ii anothe
trial. We ask our readers not to say any
thing about the adventure, as he doesn'
wish the matter 10 become known.
