POSTAL CRAZE
CAUSES INCREASE
DECEMBER SALE OF / CENT
STAMPS DOUBLE THAT OF
LAST YEAR.
Monthly Report of Local Postoffice
Shows Sale of A, ,447 Postage
Stamps.

A good test that the souvenir post
card craze is growing from year to
year is shown in the increase of the
sale of one-cent postage stamps at
the local postoffice During the month
of December, 1908 12,s09 more one
cent stamps were sold than the year
before. The increased sale of stamps
of this denomination is attributed to
The souvenir postal craze.
= During the month Of Decenber OF
this year there was sold from the To-
cal Office 23,950 one-cent, and 20,497
two-cent postage stamps. During the
same month last year II, 1,141 one-cent,
and 2s,99S two-cent postage stamps
were sold Thus it is seen rlIat with
the large increase in the sales OF one
cent stamps, there is also a smaller
decrease in the output of the two
cent variety This would indicate that
rhe postal card is supplanting the
letter.
The number of postal cards distrib-
uted in the Plymouth postoffice is
becoming quite a burden, and accord
ing to Postmaster Yockey, is steadily
increasing all of the time
TIE week preceding Christmas saw
the heaviest rush in the receiving of
souvenir cards and in the sale of one
cent stamps, that has ever been
known in this city

been extended by the officers OF the

Everybody Says So.

Martindale is county attorney. The
report OF his selec tion by the county
commits was received here
with a certain degree OF satisfaction,
not because he may have been SUI
perior in any respect to any OF the
candidates mentioned, but for the
simple reason that the fight made
on him was a personal one and an
effort to cover the commis sioners
into line utterly failed.-Bremen En-

present The vote of the councilme n
resulted in a tie, which was decided
IN the negative by Mayor Logan.
Councilman Buck moved fiat the
city attorney be instructed to prepare
specifications for readvertising for

cord with the above petition. The
motion was seconded by Councilman
Mccoy. Upon calling for vote
Buck and Mccoy voted yes. and

Gil has come 10 no decision whether
or not the recent decision of Judge
Bernetha restraining the council from
granting the contract to c. D. Snoe-
berger, would be appealed to the SUI
