Hornersville correspondence in
Kenneth News: 81. E. Rice, former
president of the Bank of Horners-
vlilo, has resigned his position with
that institution and will probably take
a much needed rest. A. j.. Langdon,
a pioneer farmer, stock grower and
business mar of this township, is now
at the steering wheel as president.
Mr.. Langdon was the founder and
promoter of this bank about twenty
seven years ago. He is, as all know,
a successful business man and able
to give good counsel to any who may
wish to utilize the present and future
opportunities which may come to us
through the business channel, and
help us to turn failure and defeat in
to success and victory. A. j. Lang
don, Jr., is cashier; Mrs. G. A. Quinn,
assistant cashier and bookkeeper."
The Postal Department has an
nounced new regulations, effective
February /, for the handling of insur-
ed parcels. They will be delivered as
is registered mail-that is, a record
will be made and the addressee will
be required to sign a receipt when
the parcel is delivered. Naturally
this will slow up the service some
what, for it requires time to assert
and record the parcels, and the post
master will appreciate having adj
dresses, as we'll as return cads, plain
and legible. All patrons are urged
TO write plainly, with ink, and place
return address in upper left corner
Also have the surface large enough sc
that postage and other stamps can be
placed on address side. By observ'
ing these simple rules you will help
the Department handle your mai
with speed and satisfaction.
