One in 0 Hundred.

The first year of the new century Is gone; there are ninety-nine years left for improvement. Messrs. N. W. Aver & Son. the Philadelphia promoters of ad- vertising, have begun early in their eff
 forts to mako the second year better than the first. Their Twentieth Century Call endar. issued about this time last year, it was thought approached near the lim- it's of the art preservative and the de- mands of utility--but the 1902 calendar is better. As usual, the background and
 main sheet of this calendar is an art work, enhanced in beauty by the taste- full colors of the printer. The twelve sheets contai ling the dates of the months have a restful dark green background, the large figures in white catching the eye at a great distance. In each sheet are epigrammatio sentences hearing on the possibilities of business during the year. Though this calendar marks the passing of one year in a hundred, it is in itself one calendar in thousand for ar tistie beauty and real usefulness. The demand is always great. and whoever would have a copy should send '25c. before the edition runs low. This is q merely nominal price to cover the cost of print ing, handling and postage.

 Injurious to the City.

A number of letters have been received at this office since the publication of the article yesterday in regard to the very poor service of the Montgomery postoffice caused by the small number of clerks furnished by the government.
 It appears that the complaint is gen. eral, and the attention of the Postoffice Department at Washington has already been called to the fact that the business men of Montgomery are suffering from the inadequacy of the force.
 C. s. .Hinkley. special agent of the American Lumber and Manufacturing Company, says that the loss of the com pany which he represents has been great on this account. A letter has been writ ten to the department in regard to th's matter by his firm, and 1t is hoped that some action will be taken for the relief of the patrons.
 Following is a copy of the letter for warded to the Third Assistant Postmas- ter General, who has charge of the mat ter, by the lumber company:
