A gentleman was here Wednesday
for the purpose of holding a civil SER
vice examination to examine the sew
eral applicants as to their qualifications
to act as carrier on the free delivery
mail route to be established between
Centreville and Ellington. Owing to
the fact that the distance was too great
for one carrier, which it seems was
not discovered until now, he deferred
the examinations until the matter
could be placed before the Department
and another carrier provided for.
| When this route is in operation it will
dispense with the post offices at Red
ford and Alamode and the patrons of
these Offices will receive their mail
daily from the carriers, who will also
receive what mail you may wish to
send, sell you stamps and money
orders. In other words he will have
a post Office on wheels that will pass
your door every day. except Sunday.

One day last week Prof. A. P. Vance
lost his fountain pen somewhere about
town. A day or two> afterwards he
happened in the post-office and found q
pen-very much like his own-lying
on the desk in the waiting room Of the
Office. He quickly put the pen in his
pocket, probably quieting his con
science with the rare philosophy that
as he had lost a pen he had the right
to find one. A couple of days later
the Professor %incidently heard that the
assistant in the post-office was com
planning very bitterly that some one
had picked up his fountain pen and
carried it away. The assistant also
confided the information that he him
self had found the pen just a few days
before. Prof. Vance's vision then
cleared and his conscience grew active.
He proceeded to the post-ofice and
made inquiry for a missing pen. The
assistant said eyes," he had found one
and also told the story of its disap-
p%earance, and further added, "and /
believe l know who got t." Then the
Professor showed the assistant the pen
he had found. No more was said, and
the Professor and the assistant are
still wondering how it all came about.
Much interest ia being manifested in
the affairs of the Illinois Southern
Railroad, which was acquired from the
hands Of a receiver by John r. Walsh
of Chicago, because OF it's connection
with the Southern Missouri Railway,
which, when completed, will connect
with the Iron Mountain and the Cotton
Belt at Bismarck, Nc. 1t is stated
that Walsh paid $445, 900 for the
Illinois Southern in May, 1902, since
which time, with unlimited funds at
his disposal, he has brought the prop

has been ballasted. Traffic is in

several important lines. Mr.. Walsh
