Well, the so-much talked of post office of
Ghermanyille was finally transferred from
Joe Ranft's to Henry Rutchllling's shoe
shop across the street, and now that Mr.. K.
has been duly appointed postmaster it is to
be hoped that he will hereafter dispense
some of that hanging on crowd that are
constantly lounging around there and show
to the public that his administration Is ir
accordance with that part of little Ben's
Message TO Congress IN regard to headsman
Clarkson of the post office department. who
is knee deep in the gore of the wholesale
slaughter of Democratic postmasters, Mr..
Harrison adds very ccmpiacently, "The law
relating to the civil service so far as he can

power of appointment in the classified serv-
ice with fidelity and Partially, and the
service has been increasingly satisfactory"

Harrison is equal 10 it as he has shown him
self throughout he whole message, and with
this document and the Force Bill thrust up
on the American people the Republican
party will rest their case, and, II so doing, |
we predict greater Democratic cyclone in |
'92 than that of the 4th of last November as |
the verdict.

Our district school under the management
Of Prof. Martin and Miss Annie Oesterle is
finely. The little ides are look
ng forward to see if Santa Claus has any
hing in store for them in the way of an old
reat such as was the custom with teachers
