Postmaster Rohr has received a fac
smile form of the new issue of money
orders, which go into general use on
July l. The style Of the new issue is
much improved over the old, the or
der proper, the advice, and the mem
orandum being all contained on one
sheet. The system used in marking
the amount of the order is about the
same as is in vogue on express money
orders, and the limit of a single order
is 500. Postal notes will not be fur
nished after the first of July, but the
rate on money orders will be reduced
so that they will not be any more ex-
pensive than were the postal notes
and at.the same time be much safer
method of RENTING money.
jefferson county is highly honored
in having four of her citizens favorably
mentioned elsewhere for places on the
next Republican state ticket. Hon.
L. B Caswell for governor, Col. Jesse
Stone for slieutenant-governor, Hon.
George Grimm for attorney-general,
and Hon. John D. Bullock for railroad
commissioner, are the gentlemen to
whom we allude. We regret that all
cannot be nominated and elected, for
then the state would be sure of four
competent officials at least. But such.
a degree of liberality on the part of the
convention cannot be expected. It
