COLERIDGE — This area was hit with the first heavy frost of the season Monday night as the temperature dipped to the 30 degree mark. A heavier frost yet was received here Tuesday night. The low temperatures were preceded by a rainy weekend at which time over 1-1/2 inches of rain fell. Most of the rain came Sunday night. The Nebraska Crop Report states this week that approximately 80 percent of the corn was out of danger from frost on Oct. 1.

HARTINGTON— A lot of changes have taken place in the Hartington Post Office since 1921, according to Allyn Krause, who retired Friday after 34 years of service with the postal department here. When Mr. Krause entered the Postal service here Oct. 1, 1921, rural carriers were required to maintain a team and wagon to make sure the mail got through.”Cars were just coming in then, but carriers still had a team ready to use when the weather was bad,” he recalled. There were seven rural routes from 27 to 35 miles long. Today there are three routes from 71 to 75 miles long. With better roads and transportation, the carriers get over the routes a lot faster.”
In recognition of his service, the United States Postal Service sent Mr. Krause a certificate of merit. He had 2,470 hours of sick leave accrued at the time of his retirement. Mr. Krause was the only one left of the 11 men in the Post Office when he started in 1921.
He has served under four Post Masters during his tenure. When he began, the Post Office building was located where A.J. Lammers has his office, now. In July, 1925, it was moved to its present location.
