The special delivery service which has shown a gradual, but never a phenomenal increase at our local postoffice made the greatest month's record for incoming and outgoing letters and packages, in the history of the office for the month of November, just closed. There were 530 such letters received for local delivery and 508 dispatched, during that period. Of the ten cent special delivery stamps on each of these letters, the government receives two cents and the messenger eight cents. As the regular postage is never less than two cents on each of these, it will be noted that this service nets a nice little sum to Uncle Sam.
