day.

WROUGHT UP
The People Refuse to Receive
Mail From a Negro
Postmistress.
The POSTOFFICE IS CLOSED
1t Will be Reopened if There is
No Intimidation Of the Ap-
pointee by the
Citizens.
THE POSTOFFICE IS CLOSED

Indianola, Miss, Jan. 5.--There car
be no mistaking the fact that a large
portion of this community is considera-
bly, wrought up over the action of the
government in closing the postoffice
here. The partial paralysis to bust
ness is being felt more and more. To
day private office was established for
the distribution of mail collected by an
independent messenger service from
Heathmann and Greenville. Both of
the postoffices are congested with mail
as the result of the closing of this Of
flee. The Independent Office here will
be maintained at the expense of the
citizens. No serious trouble is antici-
pated by the more conservative people,
but precautions have been taken by
both the city and county officials to
deputize sufficient complement of
men should the occasion demand. A
large number of people publicly say
they will not accept the negro woman
as postmistress under any circumstance
es, despite the inconvenience which is
being suffered The under-current Of
excitement extends to surrounding
towns. A large number of strangers
are here and more are arriving on ev-
cry train.
