UM ftj) 0 Vnl p wtwiij 'ium oj tj mtmipm ;nwn 'fcniHJ H sH " W4 Gazette-News Once in a while someone taken a notion to test the efficiency of the postoffice people by sending 'a letter or card on which -the address is im perlect. , How often this - occurs is known only to the dead letter office, but many times these letters are de livered, notwithstanding there may be little on them in tha way of ''address to guide the postmasters, which would seem to show that the postoffice em ployes are wejl acquainted with the country at large. The instance given below Is rather out of the ordinary. The other day a lady llvtnj on. Montford avenue re ceived a card on which was the fol lowing: ' .-, ' i . - : "At Montford avenue, in The Land of the Sky,' f The right party will get this if the postoffice department will try," The card was mailed in . Charles ton, 8. C, one afternoon at 3 o'clock, and the following day the "right party" received It here, about night The lady knew by the handwriting that It was intended for her, but there was no name signed to It, although the number of the house was given, which is here left blank, therefore the local office had the number to direct them. Of course there is nothing marvelous about It, since Asheville Is to many peopie "Tne Lna or the Bky." Major Rollins told about a foreign letter that was sent here with the name of the person for whom It was intended, but the address was simply "Montrord avenue, U. 8. A. This let. ter came directly to -Asheville. Major Koilins says there Is no other -"Mont' ford avenue" In the country. Many people will remember that several years ago a letter was mailed in New York to "John O'Donnell." without any address at all. . It came to Asheville and was delivered to Mr. O'Donnell, for whom It was Intended. This would prove .that the, postoffice employes are acquainted with the people as well as the country. .
