Last month he handled 5.804 pieces of Tbe rural route inspector, who was recently here going over the routes, gave-it out that the average routes in the state was 3,000 pieces, so George's route beats the average about 2,00 pieces. He is also said to have the shortest route in the state, it being but a fraction over twentv miles in length. This does not necessarily make it the easiest route in the county or the state by any means All of the 5,000 pieces have to be worked by Mr.
