Our estimable friend, Charles H.
Mayors, of this place, son of G. W.
L. Mayors, Esq, who has been for
about two years sojourning in Wash
ington, was recently appointed to a
position in the office of the
Assistant Quartermaster General,
War Department, with headquarters
at Jeffersoville, Ind. The position
is in The classified service, and one
that requires a knowledge of stenog-
raphy and type writing, in addition
to other clerical equipment, and as
Charley is accomplished in all the
necessary qualifications, we doubt
not that, should he accept the ap-
pointment, he will be found on
high rung of the ladder as soon as
rapid promotion can place him
there. He will probably remove to
Jacksonville, which is opposite to
KY, about the first of De-
cember, should he conclude to enter
the service of his Uncle Sam.-Fasr-
mont Vest Virginian.
