Editor Des Moines Courier,
DEAR SrR: This Mornings Mail brought
the Post Master at Ashland orders that the
Post Office at Ashland was discontinued
and he ordered to hand wei all the Pos,
Office property, that belongs to Ashland,
to the nearest Post Office.
The news spread like wildfre, our town
was in an uproar all day. Such Excite
ment never was seen before in Ashland.
No one could give any reason or account
why we should have no Post Office.
The citizens, IN mass, assembled in the
Oddfellows Hall at 6 o'clock P. M. and
there signed an address 20 the Hon. A
Hall, and a petition to the Department
asking our rights, and passed strong reso-
lutions denouncing the ones that were the
i~nstigators of it. Such an outrage never
was practiced upon any place like this -
We. as citizens, ask for III rights, and we
demand the N Of the Department, and are
satisfied that the Department should moi
countenance such degraded tricks.
Ashland Post Office is the End Office es,
tablisned in Wapello County, and has en-
jcyed prosperity. The surrounding coun
try Of Ashland can't be beat. and welbav,
as good cititizens and society as in the
