The question Of removing the post
Office from the alley on Eleventh stree
to the postotiice building has been set
lied. The pOstOfiice will remain JUS
where il is until July or August. In,
reason Of this Is that the appropriation
of funds for purposes like this hav,
been exhausted. aud the new apprO
priatiOn made by Congress last winter
goes into effect on the first day of next
July. Then there viii be money forth
coming.

tional oyster. lie talked Of the Vir-
giDia Valley Improvement Company. |
