RURAL CARRIER ITEMS
8. F. D. Ho. 7.
To-day, Oct, 17th was the day
we set to quit fishing- pennies
out of mail boxes to pay postage
unless they were properly arrang
ed so we could handle them con
veniently. We caught several of
our patrons napping not with
standing that we warned them
all three weeks ago that we ex
pected to abide from now on by
the ruling of the Post Office de
partment in regard to pennies and
4oose coins in mail boxes.
There are three easy ways to
use coins for postage. Hand the
money to your carrier personally
put it in a tin cup or other recep
tacle, in your box or put it in an
envelope in the rack in the mail
box.
Most mail boxes have a tin box
arranged to hold letters
and loose coins and if yours has
not you had better get a hali-
pint 'cup and put in your box and
always put the money in it and if
your box ha,s no rack to hold the
letters you had better put your
letters on top of the tin cup so
the caiTier can handle them easi
ly. Please lemember this and
abide by it and there will be no
trouble at all.
Mr. E. B. Meachem will move
to Graham before long and a Mr.
Thompson will succeed him as
manager of the Holt farm near
Bellemont. We are sorry to lose
Ed from No. 7 but hope he will
like his new place all right.
Mr. S. A. Sharpe and several
young ladies from Graham atten
ded the Greensboro Fair last
week and all had a very pleasant
and interesting time.
Some “old maids’’ who reside
on No.7 went 'possum hunting
Saturday night and got lost Then
to ma^e ‘ ‘good matters better
they heard a terrible racket that
came very near scaring them in
to “hysterics” It is said they
had a most exciting time trying
to get away.
Graham Isley; Abe Graves and
Will Isley also went hunting Sat
urday night and they only caught
one ’possum so small they could
not aftord to divide it into three
parts and neither one would
agree to let the other one have
it so they decided to build a fire
and cook and eat it right there
under the tree whei’e they caught
it. That crowd must have hunted
aboutali night and had g'ot hun
gry or fresh m.eat was scarce at
home one.
“Dan’’ scored another victory
Saturday night at Bellemont
when he persuaded Pete Steel and
Miss Zora Clapp to “jump the
broom”.
■Rev. J. A. Burgess tied the offici
al knot. We congratulate them
and wish tl^em much happiness.
Dan has his eye on another
couple or two over there and we
may be able to tell more about it
before long.
