Postoffice business is pretty reli-
able source of information regarding
the variations in population of a town
or city. Everybody knows that Mar
shalltown has grown during the past
year. The most casual observer sees
the evidences of increased population.
but actual figures form a basis for
comparatively accurate calculation.
a summary is presented below of the
money order transactions of the Mar
shalltown postoffice for the fiscal year
ending June 90, 1909 This is the first
report compiled in this form and fig
ures are therefore not available for a
comparison with previous years in de-
tail, but it is known that the office did
a business last year of approximately
$4,000 more than that of the preceding
year and greater than during any
previous like period Following is the

Judge Parker To
Have Opposition !?

According to a report emanating
from Waycross, ludoe Parker will not
Re appointed judge of the new way
cross circuit without opposition, but
he will be opposed by one or prob
ably two candid ties.
According to tne Waycross Journal
Judge j. w. Quincy, of Douglas, has
been mentioned in connection with
the judgship, AMI he may enter the
race. The fact that Judge Parker did
not support Governor Grown may be
the cause of opposition springing up
in the new circuit, but IL is generally
predicted that he will receive the ap-
pointment.
1t is known, however that Judge
Parker will not remove his residence
from Waycross ana con- ,nue judge of
the Brunswick oi cult, a. he announce

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 12, 1909.
Dear Judge: | hasten to advise you
at the earliest day possible after the
adjournment of he general assembly
of the status Of the Legislation pre-
sented affecting the pension laws.
The bill to reg late and fix the fees
Of the ordinaries for their pension
work passed. 1t allows a fee of S1.00
annually for eacn pensloner on the
rolls. Those on the in1igent rolls are
to be paid by me county out Of the
pauper fund; those on the disabled
and first-class widows rolls are to
be paid out of aeir annual pension.
The bill that passed the house Of
representatives by a vote of 129 to
Z to put in force the new constitu-
tional amendment that provides a
pension for all confederate soldiers,
and the widows i confederate sol
diers married prior to the 1st of Jan
uary, 1870, not worth over 81 500, was
at late hour IN Tuesday night ta-
bled in the appropriation committee
of the serate, thereby refusing to
report the bill back TO the senate
that it might be read the second time
and go to the calendar for its pas
sage on the last day Of the session.
This action of tfc comiaittee carries
the bill over as unfinished business
to the session Of 1910. am sure the
bill would have passed in the senate
had it come 10 vote
Therefore, no change has been
made that affec-s the present pen
sion laws. You can use the blanks
as heretofore, and if you have none,
order you a supply at cnce, that all
who desire to apply for pension
under the present law may make and
file their applications in this office
before October / next
Yours respectfully,
J. w. Lindsey.

ASSESSMENT FOR

Levy for Watching Avenue
Improvement Is Unfair.

Taking the stand that assessment
for the Improvement of a small tri-
angular plot of land for a park at
rEatchung avenue and Washington
Etreet. West Orange, were unfairly lev-
ed, several members of the Town Coun-
@cilS started a lively argument at last
[Ifight's meetings Councilman Stevens
argued that the town at.large benefited
by the Improvement and that the as
sessment consequently should be made
general. AS 1t was. he explained,
property-owners within va half mile
radius were compelled TO bear the bur-
den alone.
councilman Brodessor said tina the
agsrieved property-owners ought to
speak for themselves. It was finally
arranged that the matter be referred
to the assessors n town attorney for
readjustment.
The laying of sidewalks for the year
was awarded after much discussion to
Nellie & Bruno, and the tagging and
concrete work to the Standard Paving
Company.
The contract for the sewer to be
placed in Valley Road and Central place
was also awarded to Nellie & Bruno.
