The pastor spoke approximately OF
this estimable lady. taking for his text
the words of Jesus in regard to anoth-
err. when he said "She hath done what
she could. He paid we'll deserved
tribute to her devotion to her country,
to her home and to her God and His
people.
The interment took place at the Oak

S. T.. Day an Old Residentof Denison
Dies Suddenly Monday Morning.
Funeral Held To-day.

Early Monday morning, Mr.. S. T.
Day, who has been resident of Craw-
ford county and Denison foc number
of years died suddenly at his home in
West Denison. He had gone to bed
the night before in his usual health,
but about four clock in the morning
he had an attack of appoplexy, and
two hours later he expired.
The funeral servives were held at
the home this morning at 1920, Rev.

P0sTOFFICE HAS NEW BOXES
Accommodates Large Number on
Waiting List and Admits More
Light. Office Well Equipped.

The Denison post Office now reioices
in the addition of III new lock boxes.
When ordered this was thought to be
somewhat in excess Of the demand ).
Although installed less than a week,
every one of the new boxes are taken and
few more could perhaps be rented.
Denison now has as up to date and con-
venient post Office as can be found
anywhere except m federal building.
The popularity of the combination lock
b.x furnished by the American Post
Office Equipment Company, Of Chicago,
has been fully tested here by two years
service. It's simple, easily opened, is
always locked when closed, and is in
many respects a great convenience to
both patrons and Office force The
Den;son Office now has rented 300 small
lock boxes, ga medium sized lock boxes,
lS lock drawers and approximately 400
call boxes, for which the government
receives a rental of nearly SllO0 yearly.
We doubt tiffany office in town of this
size cansmake better showing. 1t has
taken the measurement of yards of red
tape and much planning to bring
the equipment of the Office up to its
present standard and in this the post
master has been greatly assisted by the
loyal citizens. iwho believe that Denison
shou have the best there is. The open
ing of the lobby for renters of lock box
es throughout the entire day on Sun
days and holidays has also added large
" to the convenience of the people, and
it would be hard to persuade them to
give up this privilege.
While talking post Office we might
add that last week the office money
order record was broken, fifty one
orders being sold on Monday, while for
the week 1876 domestic and nine foreign
orders were issued.
The extention of the inner Office to
the front gives light which was badly
needed andss will facilitate the oistribu-
ton of mails greatly.
