PROBABLY True.
A Republican of this city says that he
heard some days ago that Congressman
Langston was making efforts TO have some

out and new ones appointed. de rs IN
clined TO believe that the published state
ment from Washington in this respect is
true, but thinks Langston's efforts NAV be
directed TO the small country post-oiiices,
and without effect. ROBIN ADAIR
