We have now one Of the neatest and
best arranged Post Offices in this part
of the country, which, under the able
management of our Post Master and
his obliging assistant, is, we believe,

public.
Among the things indicating the
revival of business, we notice a greater
number of consumption entries have
been made during this month at our
Custom House than during any cor
responding month since the past was
established. The number will exceed
800 this month.

ness amply displays the characteristic
good Judgment of each and all of them.
Call early and get first choice.
