GEORGE,H. PEARSON, SIR.

The death of George H. Pearson, Sr. occurred at his home in Elmwood, Sunday evening. His death was due to diabetes, from which he has suffered long time. He was al bout 55 years of age. MT Pearson was born in York shire, England, but had been in this country some time. At one time he was an extensive grower of vegeta bles and small fruits for the markets, his knowledge of the business making him quite successful in it. Of late years, while following this somewhat, he had devoted more time to the canvassing for nursery stock. He was a halter by trade and at one time carried on the manufacture of mapped hats. He is survived by wife, one son and two daughters.

PosToFFIcE NEEDS MORE ROOM.

PosToFFICE NEEDS MORE ROOM
 The local postoff1ce needs more room and proposals to lease premises for pOStOffice purposes for a term of either five or 10 years, as can be agreed upon, have been posted in the postoffice de- nish plans and specifications on re- quest. The proposi tion to lease prem iSes must include the furnishing of light, heat and water, also complete pOStOfice outfit, consisting of boxes, fixtures and furnishings, sufficient to properly conduct the business, includ- ing fire and burglar-proof safe. It is said that the reason for posting this notice is because the business has out grown it's present quarters; 1t IS also 1ncOnveD1ent as there is lack of light. There has been steady increase of the business transacted at the post office, much of this owing to the better times, the increase of population and also largely to the establishment of the rural free delivery system, for as 1t is now the majority of the mail for Bedding people passes through the Bethel office. All this means more work for the postoffice employees and conseq uently more room needed.
