Valuable Post Offices.

The Augusta (Ga } Sentinel thinks the
determination of the Southern Congress to

ending September 80, 1886, the nett pro
ceeds of each Of FIVE Offices in Florida wa:
under ten cents Three of them received
four cents each, and one Of them three
cents. Certainly these Offices could be
Topped of without any great harm.
