well feel proud of their Post Office

down to the Rural delivery men, all
of whom would be an honor to a city
ten times larger than the city of Well-

efficiency of the gentlemen connected
with the Po*t Office departmen of
Wellington, Texas. This being true,
i« it any wonder that you have won
my admiration and esteem?
I must say, in connection with the
above, that the people of Wellington
