When tke owners of the present office decided to erect a modern two-story cement block build ing it was generally understood that the postotfioe would be located on the lower floor but later the authorities decided not to take the building and instructed the postmaster to remain in the old house, which has been moved eighty soet north Jf it's former location
 The office has been located in this building for the past twelve or fifteen years. It is an out-of-date, one-story wooden structure, and with the growth and advancement that Brewton is mah- ing in all lines. the people feel that they are entitled to better office. A large volume of mail Is handled daily. Several star routes and one rural route are supplied from this office, and the postofhce business is steadily increas- ing.
