While we do not doubt that the
delaysin receiving the mail on Sat.
urdaX prevented it's being distribu-
ted into the boxes until quarter
past seven p. NJ, yet it seemed hard
to many Of our citizens, who had
waited patiently for over an hour
for their letters, to have to go
away without them for the reason
that the Postmaster decided to not
not make the general delivery"
at that late hour. 1t was a hard.
ship to some who drove in from
the country to have to go back
without their letters and to others
who were anxiously expecting i'm.

master was justified in closing the

before the rain began, and were caught
in the hardest of the storm, but the

Tuesday night the Alumni enter

Prof. R. I. Norton, of the Cape Girar-
dean Normal, who delivered the annual
address. The exercises were opened
about eight o'clock by musical medley
by Prot. John Shryock. on the violin,
and Miss Emma Guipe at the piano.
After prayer by Rev. e. E. Dew, Pres.
Baldwin introduced the speaker. No
brief report or summary can do justice
to the production. The vast audience lis
tened with the closest attention. and
greeted its close with applause. Thurs
day the regular graduation exercises
take place and at night is the annual
reunion.

endorse its politics. But what start
ed out to sayis this: You have touch
ed the key note OF true republicanism
in your position on the Conkling busi-
ness. l have talked to scores of re-
publicans and find them unanimously
in favor of our noble president in this
contest, with one or two solitary ex
ceptlons, and they are men who get
their politics ready made from GER

The people understand it perfectly.
Crops are looking well, and the
rains have put them in splendid con-
dition. These are busy times with
