COMPLETES 13 YEARS’ SERVICE

H. B. Murray completed thirteen years’ service for Uncle Sam as one of the rural mail carriers out of Rensselaer Wednesday, and Thursday started in on his fourteenth year. He is the oldest carrier here in point of service as well as in years, and all these years has been one of the most efficient carriers in Jasper county and in fact, the entire state. The job is all right when the weather and roads are good, but it is. not so desirable when they are otherwise, and on the last extension to his route the roads are not extra good at their best and are beastly when bad. Harry is becoming somewhat tired of the job and some of these days, ino doubt, he will be telling his old Uncle to look for another carrier.
