See us for school dresses, waistings, hosiery, caps, collars and ribbons. Elsewhere in this week’s News will lie found an article hearing tlie same caption as this editorial. It directs attention to the immense amount of work careless citizens of the l uiteil States annually furnish tlie dead letter division of the 1’ostofllcc Department. Tlie use of reasonable care in tlie dispatch of mail it seems would prevent not only the work and worry to which the dead letter olliee is subjected, but also tlie delay and dilllcultics which afflict the senders and re cipients of mail matter. A simple device is all Unit is necessary to prevent a letter from being for warded to the dead letter olliee, if for any reason it eadnot be deliver ed to tlie addressee. This device is the name and address of tlie sender, placed in tlie upper left corner of the envelope. business and professional men generally have a printed curd placed on their envelopes. This insures the re turn of undelivered letters to the senders. It is not necessary, how ever. that names and addresses of letter writers lie printed. They may be written; and it is not nec essary that they be preceded bv the words, •‘Return after 5 (or 10 1 days.” Patrons of the postal service should observ e a lew plain, simple rules in dispatching mail matter. Write address correctly and plain ly and stamp all matter mailed. If in doubt as to amount of postage required on a piece of matter, have it weighed and stamped at the postolliee. Place your name and address on every piece of matter or letter mailed. Ifit cannot lie delivered as addressed, it will lie returned to sender. The observance of this last men tioned simple rule by all patrons of the ]K)stal service would soon almost put the dead letter division out of business. Smith’s Sure Kidney Cure.

He was taken with cholera in fantum on Sunday morning and breathed his last late Monday even ing. His sudden death was a great shock to his devoted par ents, Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Burks and his beloved brothers and sis ters. Though we miss him and mourn his departure, yet we know that our loss is his eternal gain, and we bow ourselves in humble submis sion to Him who holds the uni- i verse in His Hands and has power "/ ' to kill and make alive, and whose grace is sufficient to strengthen us in every hour of trial add bereave ment.
