LOCAL MAIL CARRIER
RETIRED AFTER LONG SERVICE

On Monday of this week George
Manlove, a local mail carrier for a
rural district, served his last time
in that capacity. Just now Mr..
Manlove is having two weeks vaca-
tion which is the annual allotment,
but after that time he will have
served as a carrier for 81 and a half
years and will be honorably dis
charged, and pensiOned. Mr.. Man
love began his work in the days of
a horse and carriage, which he used
until twelve years ago. He travel
led daily at that time 25 miles.
Later when motor driven mail con-
veyances became the order his
route was increased to Al miles
daily. Through all of the years his
has been a service as reliable and
efficient as one could make il He
has been fortunate as to health,
never having lost but very little
time and has never in all the years
of his service been laid off, but has
continued through changes of ad-
ministrations because of his recog-
nized dependability. He with Mrs.
Manlove live on South Walnut
street. They have eleven children.
Just now a trip to the Century of
Progress in October is contem-
plated. 1t will be a just reward.
Congratulations are Mr.. Manlove's
daily portion now.
