Demand for Rural Delivery.

The demand for free mail delivery in Indiana continues unabated. There are now two thousand applicants for routes on file. While several hundred routes have been established in this state, and many others are being organized, it will be many months before all * applicants for new ones can be considered. E. W. Hathaway, chief supervisor, says'if the service continues to expand in Indiana, as it has the last five years, there will be 8,200 routes in operation by Jujy 1, 1902.

Mrs. Puroupile’s prices are reasonable and she will make especial effort to please her customers.
