Later it was found that the horse belonged to an Auburn man.

Tuesday afternoon C. H. Kin dig showed us some samples of corn and pears he brought back from Texas. The corn was me dium sized ears, as Mr. Kindig got the average sized ears and not the largest. This corn was raised in the Brazos valley; where Mr. Seid bought. They raise two crops a year, getting from 40 to 50 bushels per acre each crop. Corn is selling at 50 cents per bushel now. The pears were great big ones, some of them fully ripe, and others green. Mr. Kindig says they had all kinds of fresh vegetables. . They had a slight freeze just before they got there, but apparently it did no damage. Notice to R. F. D. Patrons Postmaster Titus desires to call attention to the practice of some patrons of rural delivery of place ing loose coins in their ))oxes each time they desire to dispatch let ters instead of supplying them selves with postage in advance of their needs. This practice imposes undue hardship on rural carriers in re moving loose coins from the boxes and delays them on the service of their route. The postmaster, therefore, urgently requests that patrons of rural delivery provide them selves and keep on hand a supply of stamps consistent with and in advance of their needs. It is also very desirable that rural patrons place in their mail boxes small detachable cups of wood or tin in which to place coins, when necessary, in purchasing supplies of stamps.
