Our people were very much SURF
prised on Saturday morning last to
learn of the removal of Z. b. Town |
from the Office of station agent, po-
sition which he had filled for the past
eight or nine years with such entire
satisfaction to the business and travel |
ing public as TO render him deseryedly |
one of the most popular agents upon
the whole line. The cause assigned |
for his removal was the selling of beer. |
While our people have not approved
of Mr.. Towns course in this matter,
they have considerable sympathy for
him inasmuch, as he claims, that the
officers had ne, er demonstrated with
him therefor, nor requested him to alb
stain from selling. A petition was
Immediately started by Mr.. Towns |
friends, who are legion, asking that
the officers reconsider their determine
ton to remove him. We presume
there are those who did not sign it,
but the exceptions were rare, and
whether re-instated or not in his old |
position, Mr.. Town can retire with
the pleasant assurance that his great
urbanity, his thoughtful care for the
wants of the patrons of this depot,
his accommodating labors in season
and out of season, have been appre-
ciated by our people, if not by The
managers of the road. His successor
IS MIR. Enos IL. Sherwin, for the past
four years agent of the road at Fletcher
