A postal route inspector from
Columbus was here, last week,
and minor change is probable in
Reinersville rural route. In con-
nection, information is common
that rural carriers operating cars
can abandon impossible mud or
snow roads and are not required
to leave vehicles to deliver mail
by foot. The inference is that per-
sons so disconnected will be re-
uuired to relocate their mail box
es, accessible to the qualified thor
ofare If they wish uninterrupted
service. If we understand correct
ly, this retires Old Dobbins as a
utility Of mail transport in this
section; a position he has occupied
ever since the first sack of mail
was dumped on Sam Reiner's floor.
From experience, we learn that
such things regarded as trivial by
existing generations at the time
have later taken on historical sig
nificance.

No one reported seeing deer
tracks in the meager snow dotting
the country lanes, Sunday morn
ing, and it is presumed the pom
derous gentleman with the bushy,
white necklace, was riding behind
one auto-horn instead of several
deer-horns.
Rev. Glen Peoples is conducting
a series Of meetings here, this
week, at the M. P. church.
An epidemic of vomiting broke
out here about Christmas that
must not be confused with the
seasonal variety, to which only
some fellows are susceptible. Vic"
tins of this nausea were men,
women and children, and If con-
tagious, as it appears to be, it has
no license to be masqueradlng as
that simple stomach ailment.
