The question as to who is to be the future
post MISTER at the village Of South Haven be-
gins to eugross the attention OF the faithful of
that thriving locality. correspondent Of the
South Haven Sentinel publishes a long commu-
nlcatlon on the subject, meant to appear very
impartial and patriotic, but sgnaly fails, mas
much as IT Enthusiastically points to one of the
very active Congressman makers OF last sum
mer. In the article this sentence occurs:
Some suppose that the people VINO are inter
ested IN having their mails properly cared tor
have some voice In tue matter while others
who have watched our political machinery are
sure that the whole matter Is controlled by a
few persons-regardless OF the wishes OF the
people. Which OF these supposltions ID correct
L cannot decide until after our next post mas
ter Id appointed.
We could name tue candidate il we desired
to. lie will probably receive the appointment
without consulting tho wishes of the people.

ore very fully exhibited at the Agri

who observes the live stock, nipple

makes study of them, will gain
much valuable information. Those
who attend the fairs with their goods
and live stock, are pleased to have
them seen and examined. It is their
