ONE DELIVERY Os Mail Will Henceforth be Made by City Carriers , on Legal Holidays. BEGIN THANKSGIVING One Complete Delivery to Business and Residence Districts. A new order from the department, ’ will go into effect Thursday, Thanksgiving Day, at the Decatur postoffice, and will be effective In all holidays hereafter. This Is, that there will be one complete delivery of the city mails by the city carriers, both to the business houses and the residents. Heretofore on legal holidays, there was no City -delivery, either to the business or residence districts, on legal ho'V days, but those desiring their mail, could call and get it at the postoffice between the hours of eight aud nine o’clock. The new ruling will be of particular interest here. In the cities, the deliveries have been made on many of the holidays, the non-delivery being a local provision. Whether Thanksgiving Day will be one of strict thanksgiving to the city carriers, is doubtful. IN BED SIXTY-FIVE YEARS. For sixty-five years Mrs. Sarah Foster, eighty-nine years of age, has lain in her bed by the widow of her country home, watching the world go by, an interested spectator, but hardly participating. And through all of her long illness the smiles have not left her face, nor has her disposition soured. The casual visitor who comes to her home hoping to brighten her life a little by a friendly call takes as much of life's sunshine and gladness as he gives, for she meets joke with joke, and smile with smile. Th,' humble home is five miles southeast of North Manchester, on a busy road, and surrounded by one of the best agricultural districts of the county. Sitting in her bed at the east window of her home she watches the busy people go by and remembers the fathers and grandfathers of many of them. It was about the time gold fever was breaking out in California, in the later forties, that Joseph Foster brought lus bride to the farm that has since been her home. It was then practically a forest wilderness and squirrels and forest birds would play over the root of their cabin. She recalls those days, telling of their happiness that seemed almost too good to last. Then sickness came to the home. Exactly what her trouble was has never been known, for iiy those days the available physicians were far from being able to cope with ills such as came to her. But whatever the trouble was. it left her with her lower limbs paralyzed, and since early in 1851 she has kept to her bed. leaving it only as she was lifter from it. North Manchester News.
