On Monday last the face of Mr.. Isaac

Mr.. James 7. Ford desires US to say
that he is not an applicant for the post
Office, and has not presented, nor author
lied any one to present petition in his
behalf. The present postmaster says he
has no desire to retain the office and has
not made any effort in that direction
and that it is a care of which he would
glddly be relieved. 1t seems pity that
any one should start such stories, to the
detriment OF friendly relations between
neighbOrs.
