ATown with Two Postoff;ces.

CHARLOTTE. N. c., Sept. 3.-Until few
months ago there were two towns called Whit
aker's in this State, one in the eastern section
and one in Cleveland county. This fact was the
cause of mixing up of freight and mail and at
last it was decided that one of the Whitakers
had to go. It happened that though Cleveland
county's Whitaker was in North Carolina, the
postoffice was in South Carolina the town being
situated on the State line and the postofice
being on the South Carolina ground. The Leg
islature was petitioned and the name of Cleve-
lands Whitakers was changed TO Grover and a
postoffice called Grover was established in the
town. This postoffice, as we'll as the old
one, is in operation, and this is one instance
where town has two postoffices. If citizen
of Grover calls at Grover Office and fails to get
any mali, he can step over to Whitakers's and
try his luck at that Office. The offices are only
200 yards distant from each other, and mail
agents leave two mail bags at one stoppage of
the train. The town has population of $500
and contains hotel and seven stores. Nearly
all the residents live in North Carolina.

somewhat marred by an accident in the fourth

was carried from the field unconscious, but sub
sequently recovered, and left the ground with
his ow-players at the conclusion of the game.
