A unique . fact 'about the" hi

contractors during more tharn
years' of rural delivery.

The Purvis family, held the N

Cliff Robb has since held th
position.
On No. 2, the original eon
tractor was Willarit. Starters an
it remained in his name unti
after his ;death, 'when 'P. A, Mur
r'a'Y became the successor;
And as we • have mentioned
elsewhere,' Philip "Stewart held
the contract for No; 3 for three
years, When it ' was taken over
by Peter' Johnston:
In that time there have been
a half dozen postanasters.

Huron Co. Crop Report
Ruin storms occurring last Sat-
urday, August' 4th' and through
this week have damaged.the late
grain. crgps in the 'County ' :con-
siderably. Manyexcellent fields
of ; oats have been flattened • .by
the storms. This of course makes
harvesting difficult and reduces
the yields: , Approximately. one-
haif. of .the . wheat crop' in the;
southern• halt ,of the .County. has.
been: • threshed, • while. ,there- are
still a few farmers finishing hay-
ing 'operations.' Hay •• aftermath
and pasture continued 'to` make
rapid growth. • . '
