HANALEI MAY
LOSE POSTOFFICE

~ bSG
Hanalei, Nov. 3O.-Unless some citi-
zen, endowed with more patriotism
than common horse sense, and who
Ms willing to busy himself three or
four days out of each week in the in
interests of Uncle Sans post ice
service for the magnificent sum of
twenty or twenty dollars per
month, is found pretty shortly, it is
not unlikely that we will soon find
ourselves without postoffice. Ac-
cording to current rumor, the resigna-
ton of the present incumbent was
! placed with the P. o. Department
sometime ago, with the understanding
that as soon as a successor could be
found the same would became effec-
tive. AS no further action has been
| taken by the Honolulu office, it now
seems that the present incumbent will
within a few days, again notify the
authorities of her intention to close
! the office. The closing of our post
Office is food for serious thought upon
the part of residents here, as it will
necessitate their going to Kilauea or
! Wainiha for mail. Postmistress, Mrs
S. B. Deverill deserves much praise
for the very satisfactory manner in
which she has conducted the office,
/ and is resigning chiefly on account of
the work requiring too much of her
| time.-Garden Island.
