Owing to instructions from the de-
partment at Washington, the mail carrier
from the N. p. trains is not allowed to
carry a night key to the outside post
Office door, consequently the mailpouches'
from No. instead Of being left in the
postoffice lobby are taken to the depot
and kept until some of the railroad
employees get around in the morning.
This does not give Postmaster Thomp-
son a chance to get at the mail early in
the morning and the business people are
deprived of getting their mail in the
morning when they come down town as
has been their custom in the past. Some
different arrangement should be made.

The young ladies having the leap yeal
ball in charge have decided to make il
an invitation affair instead Of public as
advertised. As the words leap yeal
the ladies instead of the gentlemen, and
years, it is hoped and expected that all
having. received invitations will come
and bring their gentlemen lone or more
as they choose) and thus assist the girls
in making the occasion the most enjoy
