Seid and W. E. Seid were the

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.
