sequent insertion. Other rates made known on
application.
The figures opposite your name on label of pa-
per indicate the date to which your subscription

is July, 1900; when no month is given the month

oper credit. No rec¥ipts tor subscription will
»e sent by mail unless by special request. The
change of date on label! anght to be sufficient
evidence, Money by mall is reasonably safe.
There have been no losses to this date,
Spring Mills.
The rural free delivery system
working admirably in this district
and is daily growing in favor. Allthe
mails are delivered promptly and on
time, with the exception of a few who
have no letter boxes and failed to no-
tify postmaster Krape where they
wished their mail matter forwarded
to. Of course this neglect would nat-
urally cause more or less of a delay,
but no doubt all this will be remedied
in a short time and the system thor-
oughly established and cannot fail to
give universal satisfaction. Parties
not having letter boxes should botify
Mr. Krape at once and state very ex-
plicitly where they desired their mail
matter forwarded to.
The postoflice building is now com-
pleted and presents a very bandsome
and attractive appearance. The inte-
rior is beautifully fitted up and tastily
papered throughout, with many mod-
ern improvements introduced. A
very neat and roomy department with
all the necessary conveniences is pro-
vided exclusively for the rural deliv-
ery service. Here the carriers can
sort and their mail matter
without encroaching or interfering
with the general office. Postmaster
Krape is to be complimented for erect-
ing such a model and handsome build-
ing, which is certainly a credit to the
village.
What are the supervisors doing?
Apparently and iu fact nothing. The
roads in Georges Valley are simply ex-
ecrable, and those in Penns Valley not
much better. It is almost impossible
to drive beyond a walk in either val-
ley, if the vehicle is to be saved from
a general wreck. If the supervisors
are indulging in a Rip Van Winkle
sleep, it is high time they shake off
this drowsy slumber and attend to the
duties they were elected to properly
discharge. This procrastination, post-
ponement and delay is simply scan-
dalous.

Merchant O. T. Corman had his ice

Adam Finkle is one of the heavy op-

steady employment to twenty men,
but frequently is obliged to increase
his force to twenty-five and thirty.
