Our new paper carrier delivers his pa
pers promptly, which is quite an i'm
provemenU over his predecessor; as we
did not know when to look for papers,
and for days knew nothing of what was
going on in the outside world. Our new
carrier serves us every day, and we hope
he will continue to do so.
We have neither seen or heard from
that barber with that double action
moving machine yet, and the young
mems hair remains uncut. Guess the
barber got lost in the fog and couldn' t
see the sun, to fad out which direction
Seaview laid, as the latitude and longi-
tude is not marked on the Scull's Bay
chart.

Who will be Postmaster? As the
Cleveland administration is drawing to
a close, and the time begins to present
itself for the different distribution of the
fourth class postoffices, | say to my
self ''who will be postmaster? | mean
by this who will be postmaster in the
old town of Absecon? Viewing this
matter from citizens stand point see
in the distance a political atmosphere
beginning to rise up between too can
didates. One is Daniel Waters, Jr. and
his competitor is the Ex-postmaster, j..
W. Carton Of the same place. While l
have not signed either petition think
am at liberty to say what | please in
regard to the matter, and do not pur-
pose to say word of disrespect of
either. | would say that Mr.. Waters
has hard man to fight. But l see by
his movement he is not leaving anything
undone that he can do in his own be-
half, but of course every one has his
choice of candidates and l would say
that both candidates make it as plea
SAINT for themselves and the community
in which they live as possible. In re-
gard to Ex-postmaster Carton, there is
not one person that can say ought
against him as an officer. Under the
Harrison administration he performed
the duties of his office with skill and
neatness. His office was kept in first
class order, it was always neat and
and tidy. John Wanamaker the post
master general, have been informed,
gave him the highest rating that a fourth
class postmaster was entitled to. This
speaks well for the ex-postmaster and
will go a great ways in having him re-
appointed under the incaipg admins
tration. The location in which he is
situated makes it so convenient to the
general public, that think the leading
Republicans will look upon that as 60
ing great ways in having him re-
appointed. A REPUBLICAN.
