looking glasses. 1t is here you see
yourself as others see you. You
smile on them and they smile back at
you; you frown on them and you are
repaid in kindness. They are the
reflex of the town. If the town is
doing business, the newspaper will
show it in its advertising columns.

less fellows. whose stores are jumbles
of junk and jam, tie newspaper will
show it by the lack of space they
take. II you want the world to know
that you have live town, yon can

The PoSt-office Department has
asked Postmaster knight whether he
has room to store carload Of postal
cards. 1t takes 100000 postals to
fill car. The best the Richmond
office can do is to find place to stack
up 5OO.OOO postals. These are kept
in wire cage designed for the pur-
pose by the postmaster. Owing to
the overcrowded condition of the
office, Postmaster knight on yester-
day wrote to the Third Assistant
Postmaster-G General, informing him
that it would be impossible to store
carload Of postals here. Were there
room, the storing of the cards would
be an advertisement for the city,
which would become a distributing
point for smaller offices in this terri
tory. The Post-office Department is
storing stocks of postals at srch
large Offices throughout the country
as can find room for them.-Rich |
