Mr.. M. Culliny is appointed agent at
Knoxville, Tenn vice y. h. Owen, pro-
NOTED. Respectfully,
w. IL. CLAYTON Sup't
The knowledge of the well deserved pro
motion of our Knoxville agent to the re.
sponslble position as set forth above, will
be very gratifying TO Mr. Ovens many
friends in this city. He has served the
company with great efficiency as agent
and from our knowledge of his capacity as
a business man, and his devotion to duty
we feel assured that he will successfully ad-
minister the affairs of the company in the
one hundred offices over which he is now
placed. We congratulate the Southern Ex-
press Company on the possession of such
an able and efficient employe, and MIR. Owen
On the fact that he is III the employment of
a company which recognizes his value and
rewards his devotion. We are glad to
know that we retain his citizenship.
The promotion of Mr. Culliny to the
agency at this place is well deserved, and
from our information concerning him we
feel sure that the patrons of the company
will find that to know him is to esteem him
for his many good qualities as business
man and gentleman. He has served the
company since 1865 in position SO hard to
fill that none were willing to undertake it,
and on this account the officers of the COM
pany have been compelled to postpone a
suitable recognition of his zeal and ability
The rule of promotion followed by the
Southern Express Company is a wise one
We extend to Mr.. Culliny hearty well
come to Knoxville, and express the hope
that he may live long to enjoy his hono,s and
serve his employers. He is by no means a
stranger to the older citizens of Knoxville.
having lived here and enjoyed their conf
dence and esteem several years ago, and is
still closely identified with our interests, but
for the past II years he has been messenger
on the Dalton branch, and resided in
Cleveland
The company loses one of its ablest and
most faithful and efficient men, in the re-
tirement of Mr.. Woodward, from the route
agency and service. His record is MADE III
the service of the company, and it is one
that no man would be ashamed Of AS
has heretofore announced in our columns,
MIR. Woodward has determined upon a
change in his business life, and has entered,
as a partner, in the substantial and reliable
firm of Jas. OConner u Co., manufacturers
of saddlery, &c. We bespeak for Mr..
Woodward abundant success in his newly
espoused business.
