THE POST OFFICE

To be Removed to Railroad Street.
1t is rumOred on Railroad street that
the lower floor of the new building in
process of erection by B. G. Howe on
Railroad street north of Avenue house
block has been leased by the govern
ment for a term of five years for post
office, and that the Office will be re-
moved to she new quarters as soon as
the building is completed. Postmaster
Bowman when asked concerning the
matter said he knew nothing whatever
about it and did not believe it to be
true. zt..
B. G.. Howe in answer to questions
this morning verifies the rumor. He
states that the first floor of his building
is leased to the government as above
stated for five years and that the Office
will probably be moved as soon as the
room is completed, which he thinks
will be in about three weeks. A petit
ton has been in circulation during the
past few weeks protesting against the
proposed removal, bnt this movement
was started too late. OF course the
free delivery system will be inaugural
ed at once, and the Summerville office
discontinued. AS far as the room itseli
is concerned it will make q good Office
1t is large, we'll lighted and will be
handsomely finished, probably better
than any other store room or Office in
town. In front are two large lights o
plate glass, the ceiling is of corrugated
iron, the walls will be finished i'm wood
The room will be heated by steam
Whether the location will accommO'
date majority of the patrons of the
Office or not it is useless to discuss a
this time. .ttI.EstE tl5sL

Thought 1t was a Fox.

Thought 1t was a Fox.
While Mr.. Couture of Miles Pond
was out hunting Thursday afternoon
he saw something moving toward him
in the bushes which lie thought was a
fox and fired charge of No. 5 shot in
to it. The fox proved to be his neigh
bor, Mr.. Gilman, who received the
charge in his body. 1t seems that
Gilman and his younger brother with
Couture went out for hunt Thursday
afternoon. Toward night Couture saw
fox, shot at it and missed and then
the party separated to search for it.
Gilman cautioned Couture not TO shoot
at any of the party by mistake. Later
on Gilman decided to return home and
walked toward Couture to tell him So
when he was received with the charge
of shot that struck him in so or more
places from his knees to his neck. His
watch that happened to be over his
heart was struck with sufficient force
to make a dent in the heavy case.
Though punctured in various places he
Twill come out all right, but it was a
marrow escape.
