In the Salisbury Evening Post of

strikes our fancy. We have been saying
in our items for many years'that this
ought to be done, and now we have lived
to see it put into practice according to
law. It is the best day's work that has
ever been done. Look it up aud see if
you don't agree with us.

RURAL CARRIERS WILL
HAVE CHRISTMAS FREE
- ~ «
Postmaster General Gives Them Holi
day—Patrons Urged Speed Mailing.
“The postmaster general has approved
an amendment of the postal laws and
regulations as the result of which rural
-carriers will be granted Christmas day
as a - holiday,” says an official statement
received by the Greensboro postoffiffice
from H. H. Billany, fourth assistant
postmaster general.
“He did this in following out his
geuerous policy of consideration for the
welfare aiid happiness of the postal em- 1
ployes,” the statement continues. “We
confidently expect that carriers will put (
forth th£ fullest efforts to effect delivery 1
of every piece of mail, parcels included,
reaching them before Christmas so that
there may be no disappointment and no
justs ground for complaint on the part
of patrons. j
“Failure ou the part of any individual
carrier to do this will subject him to (
severe criticism aud be a cause of deep |
regret to the department.
“Postmasters and carriers are re- *
quested to notify patrons of rural de
livery routes as generally as possible
without incurring expense to the de
partment that there will be no delivery
on rural routes on Christinas day so j
that they may arrange for early mail
ing of Christmas parcels and other mat- j
ter.” 1
MISSING* GREENSBORO ,
_ GIRL MAY BE MARRIED
Miss Mitchell's Parents Have Vague
Reports That She is Married and in (
Atlanta.
* Greensboro, Dec. 15. —Tonight Mr.
and Mrs. S. C- Mitchell of this city,
were still without a clue other than
vague reports that she is married aud
in Atlanta as to the whereabouts of
their 16-year-old daughter, Lois, who
disappeared here Thursday, leaving high
school where she said she was ill.
It developed today that -Thursday
afternoon the girl bought a jersey suit
at a department store here and asked
that it be wrapped into a small parcel.
That was the last seen of her here, so
Tar as is known. Search iu other cities
has failed to show a single trace of her.
The girl is not the flapper type. Small
for her age, apparently nearer 14 than
16. she wears her hair long, neatly coil
ed- She is- brown haired and brown
eyed, aud about 120 pound in weight.
Since the girl complained of feeling
unwell the morning of the day she
vanished, her mother thinks that she
suddenly became* worse and wandered
off. She had $6. drawn front her bank
account, of which her parents were
ignorant.
