SURE TO COME. The Rural Carriers Will Get at Least SIOO Raise. A dispatch from Washington says: The rural mail cai tiers will 1 get an increase in salary. Within the next few weeks the committee] on postoffices and post roads of the I house will decide on the amount j of increase it shall recommend, and will also decide whether the fourth assistant postmaster general’s recommendation that the carriers be prohibited from doing an express package business shall be included in the bill. The present thought is to provide for an increase in salary in the regular postoffioe supply bill. More than fifty bills providing for increased salary for the carriers are before Representative Overstreet’s committee. The increase suggested range from SIOO to S3OO. An increase of SIOO would make the salary S7OO a year and an increase of S3OO would make the. salary S9OO. The members of the committee are disposed to agree on a salary of $750. The sentiment in congress seems to be that the car-; 1 riors ought to receive SBOO or S9OO a ' 1 year, but a representative says the ! : ca tiers must not expect to get all; > they deserve at this time. The' I next congress or perhaps this con-! . gross at th,) next session will make | another increase. Opinions differ] t us to the advisability of prohibiting t the carriers from doing an express $ business. Many of the carriers are telling their congressman that r this source of revenue ought not be t cut off .It is represented that in some , localities carriers are able to pick L up (Tom SSO to SIOO a year as the t agents for concerns of various kinds that sell to farmers through j the carriers and deliver the goods through the same revenue. Free Samples. ‘ A representative of the National Biscuit Company will have head- ’ quatrers at F. V. Mills grocery Sat--1 urday and will give samples of 1 Inner Seal goods to all who call.
