Some OF the local mail carriers are wor-

information at hand IL tC the effect that
I'm some OF the smaller cities OF the first

number of carriers for the work required,
and In these little or no change Will be
made. Mr.. Reveal says he does not think
the carriers here need have any fears.
This city has been short on carriers for
a long time. There Is a necessity for
about ten more than the Office IL allowed

element. and his position is against that
canon of the Methodist Discipline which
asserts that the licensing of the liquor
