Arrangements have been perfected
to move the post-office from Bridge
street. This news will be hailed
with joy by everybody who receives
mail at this Office. The room to be
occupied is the large and commodi-
Gus one formerly occupied by the
Planters Bank, just north of the
Courthouse. IL will be fitted up in
good style and as soon as the Court
of Claims can meet and authorize a
change in the building 0t is the
property of the county, one of the
front windows will be made into a
door and an arrangement will be
made by which lock-boxes will be
separated from the general delivery
and be kept open at all times, so that
those renting them can get their
mail day or night. The Office will
be moved probably next week or as
soon as the room can be gotten ready.
There is paved square in front of
the building, and also vestibule
that will allow plenty of room for
those waiting for the mails 10 he
opened to stand without blocking up
the street, as is the case in the pres
ent quarters. The location is much
better and we take great pleasure in
announcing the change.
The annual city election will occur
tomorrow. The Board of Council
men composed Of Messrs. II. 4. Petree,
G. 0. Thompson, W. NJ. Hill, f. j.
Brownell, WIN. Ellis, j. NJ. Startling
and Il. j. Long, will be elected with
ont organized opposition. BY mutu-
al consent Of the two parties the Board
Will be composed of three Democrats
aud four Republicans. AS we have
before stated the ticket is objectiona-
BILE in not being thoroughly repre-
sentative Board from every part Of
the city. However, when it is taken
into consideration that probably less
than fifty men in the city are eligible,
the Board is about as good as any
that could be selected. Five of the
members are new men.
On last Wednesday evening, the
tenth anniversary of the marriage Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Il. u. Withers, (nec
Miss Bette War), they were given
sercnade by the Ilopkinsville Cor
net Band, at their residence on South
Main street. Several very fine selec-
lions were played and Mr.. Wiihers
appeared and thanked the gentlemen
for the compliment paid him, in
very handsome manner.
The pavement on Bridge street is
at present blocked up by material for
rebuilding the house burned a few
days since. Those going TO the post
Office are obliged to take the mud
aud slush in lie street aud this
state of affairs is likely TO continue
until the Office is removed, which
will, IL is hoped, be in very few
days.
