The Local MIX RusIness.

There are IS milk dealers who have
routes in Bellows Falls, besides the numer-
our citizens who own one to four cows and
sell portion of their milk. A close esti-
mate of the average amount delivered in
the village each day by regular dealers is
1875 quarts during the whole year. A man
whose knowledge of conditions in Bellows
Falls AS years ago, and progress since,
leads his statements to be relied upon, says
that up to that time there was not milk
dealer here. During the year 1851 a man
named Keyes, living on the Hatch farm be-
low Cold river, began to sell milk here as
the first dealer. He charged seven cents
per quart in the summer and eight cents in
the winter. He was the only dealer for
about 10 years. Then competition began,
and the number gradually increased. The
present price is five cents per quart, al
though one dealer has sold for time this
summer at four cents. The use of milk as
an article of diet has increased greatly, and
the amount consumed per capita is prob
ably three times as large as 40 or 90 years
ago, due possibly to advances in medical
science, and the consequent advice of ply
sicians to use it more extensively as food.

For Postal Positions.
Twenty-Five Candidates Took the Civil
Service Examinations Last saturday.

gTxventy-TVyo Candidates Took the Civil
Service Examinations Last saturday.
The civil service examinations for the
positions of three letter carriers, one SUP
stitue carrier and postal clerk, were held
last Saturday at the High school building.
The law requires that the board of examin-
ers shall be employees of the government
and thew we're Mailing Clerk d. M. Walsh
of the Rutland post-office, Clerks w. A.
Mcdonald and G. E. Davis of the Bellows
Falls office and H. d. Ryder, Esq, deputy
collector of internal revenue. twenty-five
candidates presented themselves, and tne
dav was largely occupied in the examlna-
tions AS Bellows Falls people know little
as TO the details of examinations the AFFAIR
was of interest.
The entries for the examinations closed
August 1. and the names of the applicants
were forwarded to Washington. Inc civil
service department then mailed to Bellows
Falls a full set of % examination papers oil
somewhat the nature of school examination
napers. That no one should have oPpor-
unity to know what the questions asked
were to be- the package was addressed 10
Clerk Walsh, and not opened until Ihe
board were all gathered in the school room,
and the candidates were present. linen
the candidates required to answer the ques-
tions. most of which were simple enough
so thew should be readily answered by schol-
ars of the seventh grade in schools Among
other things there were five questions each,
in arithmetic and geography, about ~
words for spelling, and exercises IN the
reading of address cards rapidly without
errors. -,
After the papers were completed by eac1
of the candidates, and properly numbered
and identified by the members OF the board
thew we're mailed direct to the civil ser
vice department at Washington to be ex
amined. There the relative showing MADE
by each candidate will be decided upon
and Postmaster Cannon notified OF th'
names of three men from whom he mus
choose one for each place that is to be hlleu
This takes the appointments largely out o.
the hands of the local officials and requires
each man to stand in a large degree upoI
his own efficiency. 1t Is Impossible u
know who the candidates standing thu
highest will be- and it will not be know
who receive the appointments Tor mohUl
or more. 1t will be completed in season
so those who are to have the places will b.
able TO spend some time in becoming famll

tablishing of free delivery October l.

ST. JOHN WAS THE MAN.
On Whom the Majority of the Cos
sipers HAD rived.

No surprise was manifested by those in
terested at the report that Vice President
F. St. John OF the seaboard Air Line is
TO have the position next in importance
to che president in the consolidated sy@-
tenn OF that road, the Georgia and Ala
bama and the Florida Central and PENN
sular.
in Savannah it seems that such has been
the general opinion for some time, though
now and then some man connected with
the Georgia and Alabama might be heard
to say THAI he believed the position would
fall to Vice President and General Man
agcr Cecil Gabbett Of that line. To the
question as 10 why such an opinion was
held. the reply usually would be that the
confidence mat Il is quite evident Mr.. VII
liams. che president of the three lines, has
always reposed IN Mr.. Gabbett would in
dicate that be would gladly take adyant-
age of the opportunity afforded to adj
vance him TO the more important place.
Mr. Gabbett's successful administration of
the Georgia and Alabama marking him as
fully competent to discharge the duties
of the managing head of the great system
that Will shortly Doe consolidated
A gentleman connected with the Geor-
gia ana Alabama and close 10 its presi-
dent said yesterday afternoon that he had
known for some time thai Mr. Williams
had decided on Mr.. St John to retain the
place OF general manager of the great
system. DINERS rad formed that cOuclu-
sion. though they had no knowledge that
such would positively he the result Of the
changes among the officials of the three
lines.
The announcement of the president thar
Mr.. Gabbett and Vice President and Cen
eral Manager D. +. Maxwell of the Flori-
ia Central and Penlnsular would be offer
ed important positions with the consoli-
dated system was received with satisfac-
ton. Those gentlemen have many friends
see them retain their high places, and tho
officials Of lower rank and employees OF
the two will feel thar they viii be looked
out for in the consolidation by the Off
eals who have in the past befriended
them.
