Poe has been cashier in the express Of
fee here for many years and during Mr.
Bryans i'll health, during the last year or
two, has been acting as agent. So he is
not new to the duties he now assumes.
He has won the promotion by faithful and
efficient service and his friends rejoice
in the recognition he has received from
the company.
The people of this community will re-
joice in the deserved promotion that has
come TO Mr.. Poe. Just thirty years ago,
a small lad he came to Raleigh from
Fayetteville and entered the service of
the Express Company. During those years
his life has been an open book to the
people of this city. He has been faith
full, efficient, upright measuring up to
his full duty as an official and as a
man. Mr. Poe was DEVOTED to Mr.. Bryan,
having for him an affectionate and lasting
regard. There existed between them a
warm friendship. The friends of Mr..
Bryan are glad that he is succeeded by
one whom he held in such high esteem.

One of the most notable is the A. j.
