The people of this city were much
surprised yesterday to learn that new
freight agent had been appointed for
the c.. L. & w Office in this city, and
that W. H. Wood, the agent, had been
asked to resign. Mr. Wood was an ex-
:ellent agent accommodating and oblig-
ing in every way, and one who gave
satisfaction to the public and increased
the business each year. and was always
attentive to his business. After four
teen years as an employee he has been
turned down, which is much regretted
by every one in the city. Mr.. Wood is
one of the most estimable and best cit
liens of our city. When the auditor
checked up the books he found them
o. r., with all business up to date
promptly entered. His successor is ].
w. CARRIER, of Bellaire, formerly freight
agent of the B. & O., and lost his posi-
ton in similar, If not same way
few weeks ago. Mr. CARRIER will take
charge to-day.
