The matter of new letter carriers for
Staunton seems to have met with some OBJ
struction. Maj. McMahon, the new post
master, sent on the names of an entire new
corps Of carriers for appointment by the
Postmaster General at Washington, and
the appointees got their uniforms and held
themselves in readiness fol- work. They are
still waiting, no appointments having been
received. AS there is no trouble about the
removal of letter carriers when the postal
authorities desire to do so, rumor has
assigned hundred reasons for the delay,
the majority of them being that the wide
schism in the party makes it hard work to
get an appointment for anybody in Wash
mgton just now. In the meantime the citi-
zens are we'll satisfied with the carrier SER
vice of the faithful men who have been ren-
dering it for several years past, and are in
no hurry for change.

Make Your Returns.

Those citizens who have not filled I'D and
carried back to the Commissioner of the
Revenue, the blanks sent them by him to
make a statement of their taxable property
are likely to have trouble if they do not do
SO at once. The law allows the Commits
sloner no discretion, and when tax PAYERS
neglect this duty he can only enforce the
penalty.
