In my store in three years on Sunday
1noniasy,lIe Times: Capt. Sapp has for
warded his resignation as postmaster to
Washington. The small allowance for
clerks here, the exactions of the position.
the difficulty of securing enough competent
help during the winter months has made
the Office anything but desirable. The fact
Is. that with the small allowance set apart

income to pay for running the office. Cant

he preferred resigning rather than hold on
when his decapitation might be ordered bv
the republican powers that be at any
moment, his resignation has been yolun-
tarily rendered.
