The postofiice at Campton is to be dis
continued. 1t has unique record. On
Sept. l, 1857, A. V. Brown was appointed
postmaster, and has held the office ever
since. His commission has never been
revoked: the men who signed his bond
are still alive and on his bond. His wife
has been his deputy through all these
years, and the Office is still in the build
Ing where It was first located in 1857.
He is believed to be the oldest postmaster
In Iowa. Owing TO rural mail delivery
the Office will be dropped from the list.

A Good Location Necessary.


The first thing required in starting in
the poultry business is location. This
ought to be near Il good market, but
cannot always be-that is, without pay
ing too high for it. All extra expense
should be curtailed in this business,
as the income comes in small amounts.
After location is settled upon free
range is Il necessity. That gives the
needed exercise, and prevents an accu-
mutation of lice. The next thing is
an adaptability to the business. If one
cannot be content with small earnings,
and cannot save them as they come in,
he should not undertake the business.
The poultry should be breeds that lay
in winter, when eggs are high. ii one
breeds fowls for the eggs. This branch
of the business like best. prefer 1t
to raising poultry for the meat, though
the latter may be more profitable in
some localities.-Mrs. l.. w. Osborne,
In Poultry Farmer.

will be passed by the House. When the
Senate resolution memoralizing Congress
TO pass and requesting the Iowa delega-
ton III Congress to vote for the Hoar bill
to restrict injunctions issued during
strikes was taken up by the House. Mr..
Durham of Delaware offered substi-
tute expressing confidence in the Iowa

take with reference to this subject. An

WHEN gAeY CANE.

When baby came. she brought with her
A lot OF freight the angels carried;
New joys within our breasts to stir,
New blessedness that long has tarried.
Her father felt his arm grow strong,
Another life on his depending;
Her mothers heart was full OF song,
From dawn until the daylghts ending.
When baby came, the purse was lean,
And small the home. the roof hut lowly.
But wealth was brought by hands unseen,
And all the place grew bright and holy.
A wealth of love, OF truth. of hope,
Those tiny fingers clasped, possessing
A secret, heaven had deigned to ope
And pour on us in rains of blessing.
When baby came. we proudly walked;
Our house was fairer than palace.
And inly, as we thought and talked.
We slipped life's cup, honeyed chal-
ice.
We had no fear. we had no grief
The millionaire was poor beside us:
So glad were We. beyond belief.
At this great gift that did betide us.
Everywhere.

RAILROAD MEN
RECEIVE COAL
Six More Carloads Arrive for
Pennsylvania Employees.
More Expected Soon

Six carloads of coal arrived in this
city yesterday for the employees Of the
Pennsylvania railroad and was dis
tributed to- the men in the rotations
their orders We're received.
The company sent out an order at the
close of the coal strike. that their en-
plOyes who had been in the service of
the company for more than three years
would be supplied with coal at the ac-
tual cost of it at the mines and the
transportation. No more than two
tons were allowed any one man. The
railroad men made a dash for the
proposition, almost all of them taking
advantage of it. They thought they
saw way out of the difficulty of get
ting coal, but the lack of the company
TO ship the coal on account of their
cars all being in use caused much con-
venience, and in some instances suffer
ing, as the men made no further ef-
fort to get a supply after their order to
the company was given. The famine
came on, and they we're literally "left
out in the cold" as no fuel was to be
had.
This week, however, several cars
have beeen received. and many
families were supplied. Now that the
holiday rush is over on the freight de-
partment of the road the remainder OF
the coal is expected to arrive within a
few days.

Reached and Permanent
Operation Begun

The new transfer station Of the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company.
which was opened at Edge Moor ON
Monday of last week, has reached its
limit, the freight now arriving from
the whole territory as far West as the
Mississippi river and North as far as
Boston.
After a few preliminaries have been
arranged. the work will settle down to
permanent operation. The force now
includes eight clerks. two foremen.
thirty-one warehousemen and freight
handlers. and twenty-four railroad
men. The station is working constant
ly there being both a night and day
shift of wOrkmen.
There are but four other transfer
stations on the Pennsylvania lines
which are located at Pittsburg. Har-
risburg, Philadelphia and Jersey City,
but the local station is already hand
ling as much as any Of them.
The bales of goods are billed direct
to this city where they are unloaded,
assorted and classified in station piles.
Afterward it is reloaded in the cars
designated for the station IL is TO go.
1t comes here mixed, and is assorted
to and from all directions. Every
thing is working smoothly, and the
railroad men are proud of the business
like way the station is conducted.

MAKING FORESTS
OF CITY STREETS
Christmas Greens in Great
Numbers Being Displayed
on Fourth Street

Christmas trees are now coming into
town I'M large numbers. and Fourth
street from French to Tatnall has the
appearance Of a miniature forest. This
is the street on which the trees have
been displayed for years. A few
days before Christmas. however, many
of the trees are also displayed on
Tenth street between King and Mar
ket. The majority of the trees sold in
this city come from Maine.
The selling OF Christmas trees, ever
green and holly is a paying business
for about one week before Christmas.
II furnishes employment for quite a
number OF persons. and therefore many
an extra dollar finds its way into Will
mington homes from this source
The price of trees this year viii be
about the same as last, bringing from
81 to 81 each. There are some, how
ever. that cost more than S2 but they
are Of a large variety. The average
price for a tree sufficiently large
enough TO grace an ordinary parlor is
about $3.50.
