Axe Mann, Pa, Aag 10th, 1903. ED. DEMOCEAT Dear Sir. By the ar | | Rural Delivery Route No. 2, which takes | | in Axe Mann and Pleasant Gap, it would | 3 ! ! ] i | i { every time that a letter is seen going in to | ask the farmer and the people who live | i | lead people to believe that all the people | fifths of the people are against it, on Route No. 2 are opposed to it, as, four fifths practically means all. Bat, the writer of these notes would respectiully beg to differ with several of the statements, First, that we do not believe that four. We pre. sume that the people who live at the door | of the post office and can run to the office | the office or that a train brings mail, would be ageinst it. But they are not the only people who receive mail. Go and several miles from an office ; the farmer is | just as anxious to receive kis mail as any- one, and we believe it is just as import ant that he should receive his mail as promptly as possible. Bat a farmer can- not drop his work and go several miles for | his mail even once a day. Second, that in | the article last week it stated that the dear people would have to furnish their | own mail box and to pay $250 for it. If] they pay $2 50 for it it is their own doings, | for the writer of this article is on Route | No. 2 and be does not pay $2.50 ter his | box but one dollar and seventy-five cents ($1.95) and is very willing to make the small ontlay, too, Again, we do not think the taxpayers | will be compelled to pay two or three hundred dollars to keep the roads open be- cause of the rural delivery, becanse the law requires that public roads shall at all times be kept open, so that roral delivery will be no excuse for having to spend two or three hundred dollars more, Again, we do not see that it would be any of our business if the carrier ix only paid $600.00 per annum and would be a fat Job as the article in last week's issue stated. There are always plenty of people who will be willing and anxions to take the job at that price whether it is a fat job or not and as long as the carrier is satisfied, we can’t see where our kick comes in. Again, as a rule, the people who are al. ways kicking about taxes, are the very ones that have the smallest taxes to pay. Then again, we wonid sooner walk out a lane a mile long than to hitch np and drive three or four miles to an office, besides there are mighty few lanes around here that are a mile long or even § a mile long. We do not know if the person who had the petition stated that the offices wonld be | removed or not ; one thing we do know, | and that is that the writer signed the peti- tion and there was nothing said about post offices at all, yf cadtus titre Be always kickers in everythin, with a great many it is force of habit.
