WALWORTH TO BE POSTMASTER
AT NATCHEZ.

Hon John P. Walworth, collector of
the Pearl River customs, OF Bay St.
Louis has been appointed postmaster
at Natchez. 1t is not stated when he
will assume the duties of the office.
The following from the Natchez
Bulletin throws more light on the
above matter:
"a pleasant interview was accorded,
a scribe this morning by Mr.. Wal.
worth. The gentleman holds the
position of collector of the port of
Pascagoula, more lucrative than the
postmastership here. But as Nat
che9 is his birthplace and his home
and family being here it was natural
that he should desire to live here
rather than at the coast point. A
coast residence was more to the liking
of Judge Turley than a residence here.
therefore these gentleman have
agreed that il the consent OF Uncle
Sam could be obtained they would
swap places-Judge Turley taking the
c~ollectorship and Mr.. Walworth as.
Stunning the duties OF postmaster.
This plan will be consumated later.
II is not possible for Mr.. Walworth to
close up the business of his office he.
fore September, probably October
BY that time it is presumed Judge
Turley will be named for the collector.
ship. This will not interfere with
the judges application for the reve.
nue. office, in which there will not be
a vacancy for two years.
Judge Turley was we'll liked by
everybody here and as a postmaster
was entirely acceptable. Mr.. Wal.
worth is also we'll known and highly
esteemed and all u people will be
glad to have bin back as a resident.
His fitness for the place is unquestion.
ed. Mr.. Walworth is naturally proud
that he has been thus honored.
1t is known that the race with
General Souer will not be an easy ore
for Judge Turley. Souer a bring a
mountain Of influence to bear but we
hope that our friend Judge Turley.
will outdistance the Louisianian in
the contest.
