IT NOW TAKES 2
CENTS TO MAIL
CHRISTMAS CARDS
It will cost more to mail Christmas
cards this year.
Postal cards will still be mailed
for one cent, but unsealed cards in
letters require 2 cents.
The post office department re
quests that cards be mailed first
class, three cents, with the address
in the left hand corner, so that card
may be forwarded in the event it is
not delivered to addressee.
The post office department is
stressing the importance of early
mailing to insure delivery. “Wrap
securely, address plainly and, mail
early” are suggestions made for
Christmas mail.

Scrapings From
Hard Scrabble
Chattanoogie, Tenn.
dear editer,
Ever since we got notis that our
relations from Chattanoogie warnt
comin ter see us we tuk a noshun
that we’d come on up to the citie ter
see .them. They seemed a leetle sus
prised ter see us but they treated
Us mouty nice and made us think
they wuz glad ter see us even if they
mout not er bin. 1 think the only un
convenience I is causing them is that
I gets up too soon. I couldnt hear
no roosters crowin and that is alius
my sign ter git up by. I’d git up and
look out uf the winders and know
it wuz erbout time them roosters out
in Podunk wuz crowin, so I’d git on
up and put on my clothes. I had a
long time ter set and look at nothin
fore my kinsfolks got up. But i’m
gittin used ter evything gradually
and thinks I’m er comin on all right.
I aint met none uf they high-fallutin
nabors and friends yit but I guess
they’ll be comin round ter see me for
I is here very long. I shore do long
ter see ole Hard Scrabble once more.
Longingly yours,
Susie Stuckey
