LOCAL ASPECT OF AFFAIRS

1t is not everybody who halls Christmas
with delight. There are two classes of per-
sens who do not care particularly for the
season. OF course. they are glad to help
celebrate the anniversary, but the time
means for them one of hard and in some
cases continued labors. Just when other
people are preparing to enjoy themselves
the most, they are preparing to work the
hardest. These are the post office people
and the employees of the express companies,
whose resources are taxed to the utmost
at this season. 1t appears as IL everybody
else had conspired to get together and pile
up work on them.
For the past week the city post office has
greatly resembled a miscellaneous store
house. Packages and bundles of all kinds
and description, shapes and varieties have
been piled up there.

rave come Under four pounds. for nothing
