ONE STEP FORWARD.
Raleigh Postofficc Has Established a
New Record

Beginning with July 1st the salary
of Postmaster r. c. Bailey will be
raised one hundred dollars, from $S,-
100 to $4,000, and that of Assistant
Postmaster w. FL. Leonard will be in
creased from $500 to $1,000 These
increases were caused by the large
gain in local postoffice receipts made
during the past rating year, and this
will entitle Raleigh to extra clerical
assistance and additional carriers. The
gain was $5,582.17 and an increase of
$917.77 was made in March over
March of last year.
The following is comparative
statement of the business of the Raj

memorials We're erected to the bene
