Holiday Business at Post Office

The ExpOsitor having requested a
statement showing the business done
in the Yale Post Office during the hOli-
day season and giving general idea
of the increase of business in the Office
generally, | hereby submit the follow
ing:
The Yale office did the biggest
months business during the month
ending Dec. 3lst, 1908, in the history of
the office, the amount being $5S658
The nearest approach to this was the
month ending Dec. 3lst, 1907, which
was $520.13, and again the month
ending October 81, 1906, being $5l4.37
The Post Office Department, in rating
salaries begins the year on March 3lst,
and the year ending March 3lst, 1908,
had the largest sales and receipts in
the history of the office, the same being
$4701.10. OF course this has reference
to the Postal Department alone, and
represents the receipts from sales of
stamps, stamped paper, postal cards
and box rents. In the Money Order
Department during the same time
there was handled over, S60O0000 in
paid and issued money orders.
III a TeCeilI ISSUE Ol the IOTl Huron
Times it was shown that the receipts
of the Port Huron post office had been
enormous for the week including the
Christmas holiday. Among other
things stated, the article said that the
high water mark reached in a days
sales was something over $60000 The
highest days sales at the Yale office
during the same week period was $53 3.13
Port Huron claims something over
10000 inhabitants or about eighteen
times as many people as Yale, and if
the Port Huron office had done as
large a days work in proportion as
Yale, it should have sold something
like $1,000.0O stamped paper, or done
about $4,000 more business than they
actually did. The amount of work
done by either office can only be under
stood when you remember that few
sales amount to more than 25 cents,
the great majority being one and two
cent transactions, and besides this the
money order business is always liveli-
est at this period and makes nearly one
half of the work of the office under
normal conditions.
Yours truly
+. II. Drake, Postmaster.

The following write up of a banquet
held in Parker hall, Tacoma, Wash, is
taken from The Daily Ledger, dated
December 30, 1908.
More than 200 Wolverines assembled
around the banquet board at Parker
hall last night and enjoyed "feed"
just like they used to back in old Mich
igan. Former residents of Michigan
met old friends and made new ones at
the gathering last night and all went in
for genuine good time and they had
it.
Following sumptuous repast the
guests enjoyed an impromptu program
of addresses, toasts and music. The
arrangements for the banquet were in
charge of the executive officers who
spared no effort to make the affair a
success, and how well they succeeded
was attested to sby the many genial
faces present. 1t was one of the most
notable affairs of its kind that has TAX
en- place in Tacoma.
Among those who entertained the
guests with music during the evening
were Miss Yennish, piano solo; Mrs.
Miller, piano solo; Miss Margery Rey-
nolds, pianiste: and j. j. Adams,
violinist. The singing of michigan
My Michigan" was one of the features.
The gathering was presided over by
5. r. Gould, president of the society,
and the other officers of the club who
helped greatly in making the evenings
entertainment a success, were 9. w.
Mcdonald, secretary, and G. n. Young,
treasurer. Former residents of nearly
every county in Michigan, now resid-
ing in Tacoma, were present and
each was made acquainted with
those from his own county whom he
did not already know. The fact that
some people came from the same
county gave them some claim to a
more friendly footing and the meeting
soon began to assume the aspect of a
huge family reunion.
The Michigan club is now one of the
largest in the city and is growing
rapidly. Although there were over
200 members present last night, this
number it is said, is only about half
the Wolverines in the city. The pro-
visions left over from the banquet
were donated to the Salvation Army.
Among those at the banquet from ST..
Clair and Sanilac counties were:-Mrs.
B. Betten, w. X. McNichol, and Mr..
and Mrs. M. Levine, of Port Huron;
John Stark, of Yale; r. 5. Bennatts,
Minnie l.. Cowell, and Mr.. and Mrs.
James Bennatts, of Peck,

enjoyed most delightful evening.

Old Plantation Quartette.

A big houseful of people was on hand
Friday evening to listen to the Jubilee
Singers, as the second number on the
lecture course.
Colored singers of old plantation
songs are always an attraction; the
voices of these people generally having
a certain rich tone and magnetism and
their songs portraying the native ele-
ment in melodies, lullabys, camp-meet-
ing jubilees, ETC., that are very allur-
ing.
The quartette we had with us Friday
evening were probably not the ones to
have made up the company at the start
but their voices were very good indeed
and they gave the old plantation songs
in simple style and with fine melody.
