POSTOFFICE FIGURES
SHOW INCREASE IN
RURAL MAIL HANDLED

A remarkable increase of mail de-
livery on the four rural routes operat-
ing out of the Richmond office for the
month of July, 1921, over the month of
July, 1920, is seen in reports of the
local office.
The four routes delivered S2,244
pieces of mail during the past month
against 1871 for the same month in
1920. This gives gain of 2,467 more
pieces of mail delivered this year.
Route B Has Record
Route B delivered largest number OF
pieces when he carried 22,125 during
the month and the smallest number
of pieces were carried by route d,
which carried 19,207 pieces.
Compared to last year the largest
number of pieces carried we're handled
by route B, which carried 24,223 pieces
while the smallest number carried was
handled by route A, which handled
16,630 pieces.
In comparing the number of pieces
delivered and collected, a much larger
number of pieces was delivered than
what was collected. Route C collected
the largest number of pieces of mail,
collecting 1853 pieces, while the small
est number collected was on Route D,
1,436 pieces, during the month.
Route o Record Holder
In July, 1920, the record was al
most the same. there being only 200
more pieces of mail collected this
year than last. The largest number
collected last year was on Route D,
which collected 2,138 pieces The
smallest collected was on Route D, it
getting only 1884 pieces.
The weight for the monthly of July,
1921, was considerably less than for
the same month in 1920. In 1921
there were 1880 pounds of mail de-
livered on the four routes, while in
the same month in 1920 there were

DUBLIN, Aug 12.-The letter from
from Eamon De Valera, Irish Repub-

acceptance nor rejection of the Irish
peace proposals, it was learned here

The letter raises various questions
