Post Office department,
Washington, D. c.
Dec. 2, 1898.

Referring to : petition Of the
patrons OF Franklinton, La. BY
you referred to this Office for the
establishment OF mail service on .
route proposed between Franklin
ton and Covington, La, I have the
honor to inform you that the mat
ter has been carefully considered,
and it is believed that the amount
Of mail which would be carried
over the proposed route would
prove to be quite small, and ~
Franklinton now has six times 2
week . supply from the railroad 1t
Tangipahoa. the additional expense
involved in the establishment Of
the service desired Is deemed un-
warranted, and the Department il
constrained TO deny the petition.
Very respectfully,
J. LOUVRE BELL,
Second Asst r. n. Gent.
Hon. S. n. Robertson,
House Of Representatives.
-Franklinton New Era.
The Postoffice Department, 1t
Washington apparently does not
understand the situation. Franklin
ton is in direct line with Covington,
and We venture to say that nine
tenths Of the business between that
place and New Orleans passes
through here. This is their re-
ceiving and shipping point, and is
pre-eminently the place through
which they should receive their
mails. When the question Is more
fully understood, we believe the
ronte win be granted.

we are beginning to get quite variety
OF aluminium cooking utensils and articles
OF table ware" said a dealer in house furn-
ishiog goods today. There are frying
pans, pepper boxes, chatting dishes, ladies',
tunnels, and many ether utensils, large
and small. A frying pan of large size costs
~ which is pretty high for frying pan.
The smaller articles are not greatly above
the price of like we'll made articles of other
ware. Medium sized tunnels for example,
cost rs cents. The advantage of the alumni
mum utensils over most others is that they
weigh almost nothing and are not subject
to corrosion.''

Chief Clerk r. Z. Graves of the railway
mail service. has received communication
from Supt. L. J. Ryan of Boston, which
speaks very well for the postal clerks in
Maine. During the year jast passed they
have put up l03, 239 cards in examination
all of which have been corrected and
marked in Mr.. Graves office. When COM
pared with the number of examination cards
handled by the clerks in the other sections
of the first division it will be seen that the
Maine boys are far ahead of the other
clerks. Clerks under Horace Merrill of
Boston, handled 90 800 cards, clerks under
W. y. Farwell, Boston, handled GS OPS
cards +. I. Jewetts clerks handled 60 SOC
cards and NJ. A. Butterick's clerks put up
,662 cards. There are many more clerks
ia the other sections of this division than
there are in the Maine section.
