William p. Dinsley has been ap-
pointed postmaster at the new office at
Granite Canon, and hereafter the people
at and near that place will get their
mail regularly. Heretofore they have
had to rely on the courtesy of the pos
tai officials to get their mail. The
postmaster at that place, it Is safe to
predict, will not get to exceed 1000 a
year for his services, but as he is the
station agent and telegraph operator at
that point, he a attend to it without
much trouble to himself, and it will be
a great accommodation to the people of
that community.

Both Went Back.

Several years ago, there lived in Oar.
danelle, Arkansaw, an eccentric hotel
keeper known as-well, say Uncle John.
He was violently opp sed to the title OF
governor, declaring that he once knew
Of gang OF thieves whose pass word
was governor; and on many occasion
guests who thoughtlessly gave him the
title, were driven from the house. Com
mercial travellers put up" at his hotel.
Those who were acquainted with his
peculiarities took great delight in as
surfing drummers who had never be-
fore visited the town, that by calling
the old man governor, special attention
would be paid. One day Harry Collins,
young drummer for New York
house, decided to visit Dardanelle.
"By all means stop with Uncle John
Pash," said companion. "He is the
best feeder in the country; and Say,
call him governor and he will nearly
kill himself waiting on YOU
"When Collins arrived he was re-
ceived with a welcome that was delight
sul to contemplate, and during the
course of affable conversation, Collins
remarked:
"By the way, governor, how are --'
The old fellow became furious. He
had been leased several times that day,
and he knew that the title was intended
to be an insult The drummer becem g
angry and swore that he would not
stand such abuse.
"Come out here said the old man.
Collins followed and was conducted to
the bank of the river, not far away.
Now" exclaimed the old man,
drawing a revolver, ''we'll settle this
thing. Two of us came down here
Only one of us will go back"
The drummer took GU, pistol. half
as long as his arm, and remarked:
"I'm going back"
"Well,n said the old man, returning
his own pistol, and eying the one held
by Collins, 81 reckon that under the
circumstances we'd both better GO
back. "-ArkansaW TrdUeler.
