She will be missed from among us, but let us cherish her memory and good deeds, and while we mourn our loss let us try to console ourselves that it is to her gain that her sufferings are over and she is now peacefully sleeping in Jesus. Asleep in Jesus, blessed sleep. From which none ever wake to weep! A calm and undisturbed repose, Unbroken by the last of foes. Asleep in Jesus, far from thee Thy kindred and their graves may be But thine is still a blessed sleep, From which none ever wake to weep. d-w-p

The gilts received by Mr. McKenzie completes his herd along most desirable strains of blood. The gilts will farrow soon.

In these days of motorcycles, automobiles, bicycles and fast horses there is sure to be an .increased number of accidents, no matter how careful everyone may be. Rapid transit is one of the crying demands of the times. People will move faster as they secure the means of doing so. They can not be stopped. The only thing left is closer and more constant attention. If when steam railroads were first built, trains had had the speed of 60 to 75 miles per hour, no one would have ridden on them. The present speed has been attained gradually, and now a slow train would not be tolerated. Fast trains, automobiles and motorcycles have come to stay. The person on foot or in slow-going vehicle, ss well as the person driving rapid transit vehicles must be ever on the alert. The right and responsibility rest on each alike. They have a right on the highway, but they must conform strictly to the rules of public thoroughfares. The necessity of keeping on the right side of highways and streets is much more essential than it was before the days of bicycles, motorcycles and automobiles. Indifference as to rules can not be tolerated. Violations should be severely punished, because lives are at stake. Children should be instructed and urged to be careful at all times and to always stay on the right side of the road, and turn always to the right. Vigilance and strict compliance to the rules will avoid many serious accidents.

Card of Thanks.

We desire to thank our friends and neighbors who so kindly assisted us during the sickness and death of our beloved wife and mother. We also thank Rev. B. F. Dailey for his words of comfort, and our friends for their floral offerings also the singers. May the Lord,, help ,and bless all.

GREENFIELD REPUBLICAN. THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 19li

Obituary.

Sarah, wife of Wm. P. Boone, and daughter of Jesse and Louisa Jonas, was born September 9, 1848, and died August 24, 1912, age" 6S years, 11 months and 15 days.

Several years ago she united with the M. P. church, but had drifted away until a few months ago she found Christ. She had been afflicted for some time and while her sufferings were intense, she bore them without a murmur, always trusting that everything done was for the best, and while willing hands and loving hearts did all that lay in their power, that grim monster called Death could not be stayed.

More Liberal Construction Placed on Law Than Was at First Given—Duncan Receives the

Construction of Law.

The new Sunday closing of postoffice law, which is now in effect, has been more liberally construed than was at first thought possible. George W. Duncan, postmaster, has received the following communication from the postoffice department in which the law is construed andwhich will be of interest to all patrons of the office: "Postmaster, Greenfield, Ind. "Sir:—From numerous communications received at the Department, there appears to be some misapprehension among postmasters as regards the provision in the Post Office Appropriation Act for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1913, relating to the delivery of mail on Sunday at first and second class post offices concerning which certain instructions were issued by circular letter dated August 24th. This provision as construed by the Postmaster General does not require that the lobbies of such offices be closed on Sunday, but simply that the delivery of mail to the general public, through the general delivery, carrier windows, and boxes be discontinued. Mail received in time for distribution into such boxes before midnight on Saturday should be distributed to the boxes and be available to lock-box holders on Sunday, as usual.

The only mail that will be affected under the Postmaster General's construction of the new law is that received at the postoffice on Sunday. which has hitherto been distributed to lock boxes, and of this mail that intended for newspapers and hotel guests, and also newspapers addressed to news dealers, should be distributed to the boxes as hitherto.

In order to give the provision as liberal a construction as possible, the Postmaster General wishes all postmasters on application to have their employes sort out in emergency cases on Sunday, letters of special importance when the office of origin is known. This will supplement the present privilege of having such mail delivered on Sunday by purchasing a special delivery stamp therefor.

The purpose of the law is to reduce as far as practicable the amount of Sunday labor in postoffices. However, the movement of transit mail and the distribution of mail collected in cities for dispatch to other destinations must be continued, and in order that the early delivery on Monday may not be delayed, mail received on Sunday for delivery by carrier on Monday morning, as far as practicable, should be worked after midnight on Sunday. Clerks when making up direct packages that will reach the first and second class offices on Sunday, should place letters addressed to newspapers and hotels on top of the package immediately under the special delivery matter, should there be any, and daily papers published on Sunday should be kept separate and distinct from other matter and dispatched in the sacks so labeled as to show their contents.

It is believed that if the suggestions hertjiA are carefully observed with referehce to putting up mail in the office of origin a satisfactory distribution can be made in postoffices on Sunday with even less work than is now required and without inconvenience to the public. Respectfully

E. T. BUSHNELL,

Acting First Asst. P. M. General. The above order will be complied with by this office.

GEO. W. DUNCAN, P. M.
