The term of Postmaster T. l.. Ma
son will expire on the 21st inst and his
friends are asking for his re appoint-
ment. Another candidate has loomad
up in the field in the person nf Alfred
s. Skinner, the we'll known timer and
stove man and his friends are agitating
his appointment. However popular
Mr.. Skinner is with his friends, it is
thought there will hardly be change,
for the reason that President Roosevelis
policy is to make no postoffice changes
that are not necessary and as POST
master Mason has made good record
the probabilities are that he will be
continued. Mr.. Mason, it is under
stood, has the strong endorsement Of
the majority of the business men Of
Clayton besides having the support Of
State Senator John w. Houston ami
United State Senator J. Frank Alee

Fire broke out in "Polktown" the
negro section of Clayton about 1870
O'Clock Monday evening and in a short
space of time burned to the ground
the property of John Graham. The
property was a double dwelling and
only one half of it was occupied.
When the fire was discovered the cpl
ored occupants were asleep and Elmer
Webb, one of the first on the scene,
barely had time to awaken the colored
occupants or they would not have
made their escape. By the time
the Hose Company arrived on the
scene, the fire had gained complete
control of the building and there was
nothing to do but let it burn while at
tention was turned toward saving the
adjacent properties. The Graham
property was but recently built, it be-
ing remembered that Mr.. Graham pur-
chased part of the old school house
and moved it to "Polktown" where he
converted it into double dwelling
The origin of the fire is supposed tC
have been caused by an overheated
stove. The loss is estimated at betwee u
$3.50 and $500.
