Huntington county will soon close its chapter of history on the oil and gas industry. The business has been on the wane the last few years, but just now there is more activity than ever in the abandonment of the fields that were once the territory of wealth in the county’s assets.

Postmasters and hotels have been notified by the postofflce department of changes in the rules governing the distribution of mail in hotels. In the near future no guest of a hotel will be allowed to look through the mail when asking for his own letters. The guest must state his name to the clerk and then the clerk ascertains vfliether there is any mail for him. In the past at many hotels, the clerk has simply handed the guest all the mail and allowed the guest to pick out his own. This method has resulted in some crooked work throughout the country. Often a traveling man gets the mail of a rival traveling man and thus secures a peep into the rival’s business.
