Carriers Hire Livery Horses.

Carrier* on rural routes in the eastern part of this state have adopted a new idea in regard to the horses used in making their daily trips. They have sold their horses and have arranged with livery stable keepers to hire horses for the service. Special contracts are made, whereby extremely low charges are made for the use of the horses, and the report is that, the carriers, the liverymen aud the patrons of the different routes are well pleased with the change. Fruits, nuts, and nut meats all kinds, at Fritts.
