 OFFICES GO MAN HUNTING-The only Kind of an office that ever hunts a man is a DostofHce and there are one or two in this county that are just now looking for somebody who is out of a job. w. E. Thomas, postmaster at Liberty. has resigned his portfolio and so far moody has been found who is willing to don his toga. Unless some self sacrificing individual comes along by June IA, the office will be discon- tinued. O. c. Simmons has also re- signed the office of postmaster at Cave Creek. His successor has not been appointed but it is understood Judge E. P. Mccormick is likely to be the man. The judge has served his coun- try many years as postmaster but re signed two or three years ago. having at that time other plans that occupied his attention.
