The elopement was planned a

AGAINST SUNDAY MAILS.
Movement Started in the NJ. E. Sun
day School on Sunday-Post Office
People want to Open Office.

A movement was inaugurated on
Sunday in the Sunday School of the
M. E. church looking toward the
doing away with Sunday mails here.
Petitions will be circulated and the
department will be requested to
close the local office.
Inquiry atthe postoffice as to how
this move was regarded by the
office force shows that they are very
much opposed to it. They want to
get rid of all the mail they can on
Sunday. About one half of the
mail which comes IN from Saturday
night to Monday morning is handed
out on Sunday afternoon.
Even ii the office is not opened
this mail will have to be handled by
the force. The people who want
their mail will kick strenuously if
they can't get in to receive it Those
who don't want their mail won't
care. They in TACT can stay away
now and not be bothered with the
present arrangement.
j. J. Wharton established the
practice of opening the post office on
Sunday. This went into effect the
first Sunday alter he took charge of
the office. IL has been continued
ever since
