tipti and delivery of mail matter on
rural routes particularly during the
impending holiday season, all first
and third class mail matter deposit
ed in rural lettei tfuxes for collection
by the carrier huuld hove stamps
affixed at the proper rati uf postage

stamps befur, they ai< turn apart?
How would you lih. the experience
of licking seven or eight entire sheets
at one time" It js nothing unusual
for your rural earner to havi to lick
fifty or sixty sheets of stamps in the
last ten days befoo Christmas, think
about it. five or six thousand stamps
to lick in just a lew day s Your pust

Mr Porter, of Goldsboro. a blind
man, and a piano tuner by profes j
kion who is now in our town, has t
been the victim of some very dirty t
horse-trading Last Saturday week *
he was in Scotland Neck and his 1
horse being lame from a sore knee. J
he wanted to get another horse to t
take his place. Evidentaly some un- j
scrupulous horse dealer in that town t
took advantage of the man's blind- (
ness and traded him an old horse f
that was really in a worse condition 1
than the lame one, taking as boot 1
$17 the tuner had received fruoi ,
friends and had worked tor. The t
following week Mr Purler wrote
this party a note teliiug him the ? (
horse did not suit mid if be would 1*

horses. To this the trader that

hope our readers, or those having
pianos to be tuned, will give this
gentleman an opportunity to tune
them. The citizens of Wilhaniaton
have contributed some $14 or $15
toward helping him purchase anoth

unscrupulous, can take advantage
