terian church last Sunday by the
addition of another quartet to the old
quartet, which is expected to be a

interest in it is the singing, and
nothing is left undone to make that
of especial interest to the congrega
tion. Come next Sunday and hear
the music and see if it has not taken
on more and sweeter tone.

Postmaster W. T. Owens desires to
i call attention to the practice of some
i patrons of rural delivery of placing
i loose coins in their boxes each time
: they desire to dispatch letters instead

1 in advance of their needs. This
practice imposes undue hardship on
rural carriers in removing loose coins
j from boxes and delajs them on the
| service of their routes. The post
1 master, therefore, urgently requests
j that patrons of rural delivery provide
j themselves and keep on hand a supply
i of stamps consistent with and in ad
j vance of their needs. It is also very
desirable that rural patrons place in
i their mailboxes detachable cups of
i wood or tin in which to place coins.
