The development of the Post Office

expansion of the varied business and

during the past few years, the Post
Office affairs have advanced at a mar

The Oyershadowing event in tha

nor even with melting others to viola

do not recognize the right of labOTeFz

their work without a just or proper

all over the country as agents for some

who are busybOdies creating dissatis-
