OPCCldA W Llo Osbs
HoGANsvTLLE, GA, Feb. 25.-The,
long boycott of the people of HoSaus-
vile against the local post-offics has
been ended by the appointment of Miss
Flora Jones to.succeed Isaiah H.Loftin
q colored man, who was formerly post
master at this place.
Loftin's appointment was made over
the powerful protest of the people and
the Georgia Congressional delegation.
From the moment of his underta king
the duties Of office q strict boycott WAS
maintained against him, and Instead
OF the 81 900 year which the posi-
tion should pay, it is thought probable
that Loftin made one-tenth of that
sum out of it.
The department. tried every method
OF forcing the inhabitants to pAtronize
the office, but the shrewdness of the
people each time suggested some way
out OF the dilemma, and up to tbs time
OF his departure few weeks ago hardlv.

Loftin now holds q subordinate posS-
