While in Altoona a few days
ago, we called at the postoffice
which is snugly housed in a new
building erected by the U. S. Gov
ernment at a cost of 0,000.-
While not the postmaster, the
practical head of the concern is
Reamer Hoke, who has been as
sistant postmaster of that city
for many years. In fact, Ream-
er went with his fathers family
from this place to Altoona in the
spring of 1882 and, in the fall of
that year, was given position in
the post office, and he has been
there almost continuously, since.
When he recognized us, one of
his old McConnellsburg neigh
bors, he dropped his work and
led US through the various apart
ments of the building, and point
ed out the attention Uncle Sam
gives to the comfort of his en-
ployes and to the efficiency of
their service. What interested
us most was the stamp-cancelling
machine. While it can cancel the
stamp, print on the envelope the
name of the postotfice with the
day and hour, at the rate of a
thousand a minute, it seems like
very simple little piece of mech
anism, and that almost any post
master might make one if he had
the running gears of an old clock,
a piece or two Of au old tin fruit
can, and a pair of old suspenders

Fulton county editors are not
the only people that have trou
bles of their own but they never
speak of them. If a hundred of
their subscribers owed them for
subscription two or three years,
they would never mention it, but
would labor patiently on; and,
though Christmas is nearing and
everybody else will have money
enough to buy a chicken for din
ner, and have some ginger cakes
besides, they will be content
There does seem to be a limit,
however ; for an editor up in Hun
:, tingdon county last week gave
way 70 his feelings, and this is
