Increased Postal Receipts.

The business of the local post
Office has been steadily elm bing
for several years past, and the
receipts for the quarter just end
ed were by fan the largest in the
history of the office. The re-
ceipts for the three months end
ing Dec. 31st, 1904 were S4455. So
against So, $50 90 for the same
period last year, showing net
gain of 1901 68 on the quarter.
The total receipts for the year
d ing Dec. 81. 1903 were
SIP. 707 26. while those for the
year just ended were S14,174. .,
showing a gain of 81, 46702 on
the year. 1t will be seen that
the gain has been steady and un.
failing, and it is confidently be
lieved that the receipts for the
year 1905 we'll befully SIC. 100000
OF course the increased re
ceipts means an increase of work.
and the present force IS made
quate Be d e 5 Postmaster
Wood and Assistant Postmaster
Patterson there are only three
clerks, and these clerks are com
PEELED to labor from twelve to
fourteen hours each day in order
to keep up with the work. The
office is badly in need of a night
man. Under the present regime
no mail is handled later than 9
o'clock p. m, and there are owo
trains on the Southern Railway
passing here after that hour. In
order to mail letters on these one
must either trust them to a hack
man, or walk to the depot, and
neither one of these methods is
satisfactory. the former being
too uncertain and the latter too
fatigueing. We need a night
man at the post office and need
him badly, and it is to be hoped
that Uncle Sam will evince his
appreciation of the generous
patronage which is being bestOw-
ed upon him by the people of Co.
lumbus by placing one there at
an early date.

At her home, Far-away Farm, in Killingworth, Conn.,, Mrs. Ida Ford, wife of Cyrus. Evarts, and sister of Ev- erett E. Lord of this city, passed away June 20, after an illness of several months.
 Despite everything that human skill could suggest, and loving care prompt, she slowly faded out of life-life which she had so enriched and made beauti- full for others.
 For a number of years she, was a successful teacher in Washington, D. c. At her brothers earnest wish she left the work and took her place at his flreside, to create home atmosphere of refinement and kindly courtesy rarely met. Later she became the wife of Cyrus Evarts of Killingworth
 In close sympathy with all that is sweet, true and beautiful, she typified in her own character the things she loved so well. Such lives do not pass away, they are woven into the very warp and wool of life. The fragrance of her gentle memory will finger long in the hearts of those who knew her.
