Bakersville was like any other ham,
let. 1t had store, postoffice, a
blacksmith's shop and ruined old
sawmill. II had a river and dam, and
there were fish In the river. The lat
ter fact was told to Bessie Foster.
niece of Uncle Joe and Aunt Mary
Warner, who had come from the city
for vacation and who was looking
about for new diversion.
The girl was rugged out with pole,
hook, line and bait, and Uncle Joe
went with her to point out the spot
where he once had bite from some
thing almost as big as whale, and
for half an hour she was SO intent on
her fishing that she was oblivious of
her surroundings. Then a cough from
o human throat startled her. and she
looked up to see a young man fishing
In the same waters and not over TWEEN
~ feet away.
At first glance she saw that he was
stranger to the hamlet. AS she
looked up he raised his cap and bowed.
How long he had been there she could
not determine. but his action In sneak
ing mp In the first place and In max
Ing the bow In the second irritated
her. She at once gave q vicious jerk
to her line. intending to quit the spot
at once. but she was naturally defiant
and changed her mind In an instant.
She would not be driven away. She
had simply stared at him In naughty
manner when he had lifted his cap,
and should he attempt to push mat

THE NEWBERRY POSTOFFICE.
Receipts Over $1O,OOO-Ready for
Free Delivery-Work for City
Council.

The total receipts for the fiscal
year ending June 30 from the sale
Of stamps and including box rent
amounted to %10,7G0.22. If the box
rent is deducted, $5GI9G, it leaves a
total Of $10,195.2G. There can, there
fore be no doubt that Newberry is en-
titled to the inauguration of free
delivery system, and these receipts
are the result Of legitimate sales and
Legitimate increase of the business at
the office
There has been no effort or the
part Of the citizens to swell the re-
ceipts just before the end of the fis-
cal year so as to cntitle the city to
free delivery. After Tie first Of this
month the salary Of the postmaster is
$4,000 and of the assistant 1000.
Two clerks will be allowed at a salary
of 5000 each. 1t is not stated yet who
will take the place made vacant by
Mr.. James Goggans.
City council has not done anything
towards having the houses number
ed and the streets properly posted,
except appoint committee. The map
has been made, but before the govern
ment will inaugurate the free delivery
system. it is necessary that the hous-
es be numbered and the streets post
ed. Delay on the part Of city council
may delay inauguration Of free deliv-
cry.
