WAGONS TO MAKE
A MOURNING TRIP
People OF Spartansburg TO
Express Feeling Over Loss
of POStOffiCe.
Buy SUPPLY OF CREPE
THE TRANSFER OF THE POSTOF-
FICE FIXTURES TO CRETE WILL
LOOK LIKE A FUNERAL PRO-
SESSION.

Probably rev, If any. postoffices in
the United States have ever or will
be ushered out of existence as will
the Office at Spartansburg, Ind, on
the morning of Jan. IS, when the star
route wagons, which have heretofore
carried the mail between Spartans-
burg and Crete, Ind, will be draped
in the deepest of mourning, as they
haul the office fixtures from the place
which they have stood so long, to the
Office at Crete for further use. Some
of the old material will not even meet
such a good fate, as it will be sent TO
Washington, at the orders of the pos
tai officials there. where it will be de-
stroyed.
Earnest J. Rich, of this city, who
has had such hard time in pulling
away from the official duties as post
master of that little burg, will be pres
ent on the day which the star route
wagons make their last trip
The crepe on the conveyances will
only begin TO show the real mourning
in Spartansburg, as the result of the
recent ruling by the officials in Wash
ington. The citizens there, accord
ing to the statements of Mr.. Rich, are
almost paralyzed by the blow, the
postofiice having been their business
headquarters. 1t is and has also been
q center of social communication, as
are all country postoffices, and the
people can not realize that 1.-THE
place, around which hangs to many
memories-is to be once and for all
time rudely taken from their midst,
while they will have to be contented
with rural mail service from Crete.
The affair has created several sore
spots in the hearts of several OF Spar
tansburg's foremost citizens, and
they are loud in their condemnation
of Congressman Cromer. whom they
claim deliberately gave them the dou-
BILE cross.
