recovering.

For the past nine months the GLOBE
REPUBLICAN has run more than an aver

four weeks we will be compelled To run
somewhat lighter and fill up with adver-
Using matter. and we ask the indulgence
of orr subscribers during this short
period. that we may again swell the bank
account and prepare for another nine
months famine.

frequently enough to know that his state
ment is all a mistake. We have lately
had a change of pOstmasters, and so far
the management has been quite satisfac-
tory, but the Office is still located in the
same building and likely to remain there.
