The Appointment Came as q
Surprise, a But Few Knew
Of the Vacancy.

President Roosevelt sprang a
surprise on Winfield citizens
Saturday when he appointed Mr..
E. Eagles to the postmastership
here. The present postmaster
was appointed about a year ago
and it was thought the appoint
ment would hold for four years,
but this Office has recently been
made q third class Office and as a
matter of course q vacancy occur
red. It was supposed, however,
that Mr.. Grisham would be re-
appointed to succeed himself and
nothing was thought of the mat
ter till q dispatch from Washing
ton told of the appointment of
Mr.. Eagles. The commission Of
the new postmaster will be issued
rs soon as he makes the required
bond and files it.
A change IN the postmastership
will result in q new location for
the Office and arrangements are
now being made for a suitable
building for the Office. The Of
fee was recently moved into the
new Grisham building, to de-
partment built specially for it,
and as the rulings of the authori-
ties require that the Office be kept
in = brick building, the change
will be the cause of another
brick building for the town.
Another new brick building
viii probably be located at the
corner of Abel and Court streets
with suitable apartments for the
Office. It is understood that 9TH
er business interests desire a
change Of location and have tried
to secure Z location at this corner
heretofore, without success, un-
til now, it is rumored that q
handsome building will occupy
the vacant lot there and that the
postoiice will be located in q por-
ton Of the building.
