Instant relief. Advance in Salary Carriers. for Mail The patrons of the rural routes are pleased with the fact that- their carriers are to receive an addition of f 120 per year. Heretofore these men have each received $600 per year, out of which there was practically nothing left after keeping three horses, keeping their wagons in repair and meeting the ex penses of themselves and families.
