Mr.. G.. W. Creaser, so long station agent
at the summit, was discharged on Saturday
last and j. Ormsby Hewitt appointed in his
stead. Favoritism, is supposed to DO the
only cause for this action on the part of the
railroad company and though one would
suppose q man of Mr.. Creaser's ability
would he glad to be released from the
bondage of his position to find one more
suited to his capabilities. still it 10 net
pleasant to be discharged from any office
without cause.
