Hawley Herald: We this week re-
ceived copy OF an address made by
T. B. Walker at the dedication OF the
M. E. church at Akeley, MINI. When
ever a man starts to send out pamph-
lets about himself or copies OF his
speeches, 1t is sure sign that he
has his eye on some public office. How
ever, we wouldn't give T. B. very
much for his chance to succeed either
Nelson or Clapp.
John Dickelman, who has been the
carrier on rural free delivery route
No. at Sabin since 1t was established
has resigned and will again take up
farming. T.. c. Bond has been appoint
ed to succeed him.
