PIONEER POSTMASTER
Joseph Powlss, Postmaster at Milton
Since Before There Was
%c Milton, Resigns.

Milton. zeSIobe: The retirement of
Joseph Powles from the postmaster
ship at Milton is a, matter of con-
siderable Importance, marking, as 1t
| does, the conclusion uA long term of
efficient and faithful service.
| UP till the present week Milton has
had no other postmaster, in fact Mr..
Powles was employed in this capacity
before there was Milton, making
MIN, upon his retirement, one OF the
oldest postmasters in the state in
point of service.
During all these years Mr.. PowleH
has held this position unchallenged,
due solely to his devoted attention to
duty and the personal popularity OF
himself and family.
Few public officials have retained
| their positions uninterruptedly for a
period OF more than twenty years
without a contest. Surn, however, is
the enviable record of retiring POST
master Powles .+
When about year and a half ago
he let it be known that ne, was not a
candidate for reappointment, the an
nouncement was met with general
regret by the numerous patrons OF the
office. 1t was surmised that this
meant the removal OF Mr.. Powles and
his estimable family from Milton-a
circumstance doubly regretted from
the fact that they have always taken
prominent and important part In
the religious, social and musical cir
cles of the village, ever since its In
fancy.
The Globe feels authorized on be-
half OF Milton and the surrounding
country to thank Daddy" Powles for
his innumerable kindneSses and cour-
tesies during all these years. and to
wish him thorough enjoyment. OF a
well-merited retirement from life's ac-
tive duties.

Cracked Furniture.

Ugly marks caused by splits or
cracked places In furniture are easily
flled In with beeswax, and the mark
is never detected. In fact, this is how
furniture dealers cover such blemishes.
First slightly soften the beeswax until
1t is like putty, then press firmly into
the cracks and smooth evenly with
a thin knife. Sandpaper over the
surrounding wood and work the dust
into the beeswax. This gives wood
finish or color, and when the furniture
is vanished you will look in vain for
the blemishes. 1t is better than putty.
since putty soon dries, crumbles and
falls out, while beeswax will remain
forever Just where 1t Is placed.
