\ Business Barometer.


There is no better business barom-
eter than the postoffice. If city is
doing a good business, if her mer-
chants are busy and her avenues of
commerce crowded, the postofiice will
tell it. The receipts will show it.
And where you find a community
whose postoffice receipts are gradually
increasing it shows Enthusiastically that
the town is growing and developing.
! Columbus pOstOffice receipts have in
creased so rapidly for the past few
years that we are practically assured
of free delivery next year.
! A comparison of the postoffice re-
ceipts of wet and dry towns in this
State seems to establish another fact,
that prohibition helps community
and explodes that old bugaboo that
saloons are necessary to make town.
In we'll written and thoughtful article
on the postofiice receipts of the larger
towns of the State the Jackson News
makes the following comments:
Does prohibition destroy the bust
ness Of town? Postal statistics
answer in the negative. Take Brook
haven and Canton, the former as a
| typical prohibition town in this part
of the State, and the latter as a whisky
town.
I'm 1894 the salary of the postmaster
at Brookhaven was 81 400, while that of
the postmaster of Canton was 81 800
Each town has remained welded to its
particular idol and today the salary
of the Canton postmaster is Sl,70O
while the Brookhaven postmaster re
ceives $500. Two typical towns in
the northeastern portion of the State
of these opposite classes, show similar
results when compared. Reference is
made to the dry town of West Point
and the wet town of Aberdeen. In
1894, these two towns were, the one
wet and the other dry, and the post,
masters salaries were each 81, 800. To
day the Aberdeen postmaster gets 81,
700-the town is still wet-while the
West Point postmaster, whose town is
drier than ever, gets salary of 81,
800. 1t is not, then, altogether Ger,
