ing two dollars per annum for all
purposes. The general assembly

Sec. 7. The general assembly

new debt or pecuniary obligation
in behalf of the tate, except to sup-!

Honest Now, Are You Not Al
ways Glad to See our Wagon
You may fret when it is late and may he tempted to
think unkind things about us, but when the wagon turns
the corner does not the sense of relief which you exper
ience show how truly welcome the corning of the wagon is.
In most cases when the wagon is late in reaching your
door it is because some customers on your route have
held it iiack. and their thoughtlessness, while uninten
tional, makes you suffer. We are quite sure that you
would not knowingly delay the ice wagon on its way to
homes where sickness and suffering prevail. On the
contrary, if you could speed it along, you would. Miere
Is scarcely 'a Tay in which tfce wagon on your route does
not go to homes where anxious mothers are wq(ch tor it
with heavy hearts. You can speed the wagon by an
swering the call promptly, by having the road clear to
the refrigerator, by having the change or the coupon in
hand, and in other ways which your own intelligence
willl suggest. . ,
We know you are going to act on this hint now and
hereafter. Thank you!
