Commencing with October first, the
post Office here becomes one OF the
presidential Offices and the post mas

commission as formally. During the

fee have been about twenty two hun
dred dollars. In anticipation of this
Mr.. Carr has closed out his stationary
and daily paper business to j. M
Pierce, and will give his whole atten
tion to the mails. We are glad to see
this prosperous and healthy growth
which indicates that our town is a
growing one as 1t surely is. And
among the new improvements or con
veniences which it brings will be the
International Money Orders, which
will be issued here If wanted. AL
though at present we must confess we
haven't any money to spare to send
to John Bull or any of his neighbors
1t is comforting to know that we
could do so II we did have an occasion
to. In addition to the whole we can't
help throwing boquet to the post
master, Mr.. Geo. O. Carr, whose
courteous treatment of all and his
prompt attention to the details of his
office makes him favorite with botf
the public and the department.
Rev. and Mrs. F. G. Davis left last
week for New Orleans and from let,
ters received along the route, 1t seems
that they are having very pleasant
trip. We almost envy them the warm
weather which they will enjoy when
the mercury is hiding In the bulb here
