There are SO many applicants for
the Jasper p. O. under Mckinley,
that it is suggested they form q glee
club and sing the following song,
so as to keep in good humor. It
is said Senator Fairbanks has CIV
en- one Of them to understand that
no change is likely to be made by
President Mckinley in this Office
till Charley Eggs commission for
four years expires, which will give
him over two years yet. In the
meantime the Senator declines to
recommend any one, and some of
the applicants are knashing their
teeth, at having to wait so long, for
no one can find any fault with the
way Mr.. Egg has conducted the
Office. Others ace practicing the
song, and hoping some good plum
will fall into their out-stretched
arms.
