J. A. Reyburn, deputy Internal
Revenue Collector, was in Farming
ton a few hours Tuesday on official
business. His field of work has re-
Gently been increased, and he is now
also Federal enforcement Officer for
five Southeast Missouri counties, with
haadouortaro In No Coto fo u,biob
point mail for him should be address
ed. The enforcement Of the prohibit
tion laws, however, are not entirely
in his hands, as it is the duty of .Sher-
ifs also to rigidly enforce such laws,
SO that it is not therefore necessary
to carry such complaints to Mr.. Rey-
burns ofice.-Farmington Times.
From the Pennington News: "Dr.
W. G. Patton left last week for Hutch
inson, Kans., where he is locating for
practice as an eye, ear, nose and
throat specialist. Hutchinson is a
fine Kansas town of nearly 10000
population. DR.. Patton is a good
physician as we'll as a fine citizen.
The combination ought to be a winner
and we sincerely trust it will. Mrs.
Patton will join her husband in Kansas
as soon as he can find a suitable home.
Housing conditions there, no doubt,
are pretty nearly as serious a problem
as they have been for time in nearly
every growing town or city in the
country"

A new ruling for the handling of spe.
cial delivery mail has just been re-
ceived by Postmaster Reese which
provides that special delivery mai
may hereafter be delivered without
receipt. This is an innovation. The
rule heretofore has always been thai
special deliveries must be receipted
for by the %addressee or some one com
petent to act for him, at the time the
delivery was made. In case the ad.
dressee or some person competent &c
receipt for him could not be found, a
notice was left. Then it was neces-
sary to call at the post Office for the
letter. The late ruling permits the
messenger to leave the special with
out receipt in the regular mail boz
when personal delivery cannot be
made. The rule is announced as be
ing sintended to expedite delivery
rather than to safeguard mail.
