KENTON, April March came in |
like lamb but the further it went the |
worse it got. The last day was typi- |
cal March day, it blew, rained, showed |
and cleared off by turns.
Our true and trusty mail driver. Mr..
Willis Jackson, who for a long time
has carried the mail between KentOn
and Downs Chapel, made his last trip
on Monday March 31st, and at mid
night of the same date Downs Chapel
pOst-Office ceased to be.
On Tuesday morning, April 1st, our
two Rural mail deliveries started from
this place. One in the charge of Mr..
B. f. Graham, goes in the direction of
LockwOod's Corner and the other un-
der the charge of Mr.. Edgar Remley,
goes in the direction of Downs Chapel.
thus making the old route unnecessary.
1t is to be hoped that the people along
these routes will patronize them and
thereby make them a more complete
success.
Mr.. VIM. Fl. Greenwell our popular
''Meat man" is having his residence
thoroughly overhauled. He has raised
the entire building up about two feet,
is digging a cellar under the front, and
will put in a beautiful two-story bay
window. When all this has been COM
pleted then the whole will be beauti-
fed by the painters brush.
