Alfred Oden has received his commits
sion as postmaster at Mansfield Center,
and will assume the Office at once. The
appointment of postmaster there has
been a matter Of controversy for a long
time. Mr.. Buchanan, the postmaster ap-
pointed by the last Cleveland administra-
ton, has kept the post office about one
half mile south of the church, in Mr.
Odon's store. Early last winter Mr..
Oden bought store building near the
church and moved his stock of goods to
that place. Mr.. Buchanan retaining the
post office at the old store building. There
was considerable opposition to having the
office removed to Mr.. Oden's new store,
which developed into an opposition to
Mr.. Oden as postmaster. In order to
settle the controversy the department was
compelled to send an inspector to examine
the location. He reported in favor of
moving the office to Mr.. Oden's new store
and Mr.. Oden's commission came along
very soon after.-Hartford Con'aat.
