Jturl Delivery.
The matter of . a rural delivery
out of Independence to the aouth is
nA takinir definite shape and the
effort persiated in will no doubt re-

Ponle to the south are tired of
aeetmr their mail go by on the train
and being put to the necessity ot
. . i . i l
waiting for it to be brought oaca oy
a circuitous rout from the south.
Many to the south bo their trading
here, have'Indepemtence pnysicans
thmr familv doctors and the ex
tremity of putting them on another
rural route instead ol one leaum?
out of Independence Beems alto
gether unreasonable.
It is to remedy this situatiou that
the parties interested have taken
the matter into their own hands
and cau make a showing the au
thorities can bardie ignore.
