Saturday night and about four dollars in small
change and a private collection of stamps be-

| question has arisen here as to whether the
April term of the Supreme court will open on
the 18th as has been scheduled, since that date
is legal holday-Patriots' day. Court should
convene on the third Tuesday in the month,
which falls on the 10Th, but there is law that
court shall not be held on a legal holiday,
which doubtless means that the real converting
will take place Wednesday, the Goth.
| The Post Office Department has addressed a
circular letter to postmasters asking them to
earnestly request patrons of rural delivery to
paint their boxes and the posts to which they
are attached pure white color. 1t is also de-
sired that patrons be induced to imprint their
names and box numbers on boxes in black let
tiers about two inches high. Posts to which
boxes are attached should be set in an easily
accessible position at the side of the road and
boxes securely attached to projecting arm of
wood or to a bracket of bar iron or an automatic
| extension arm.

! CITY ADVERTISEMENTS. In the past when
two papers were published in Belfast the city
| advertising was given to both, that it might
reach all the people. Under the present one
man rule, in furtherance of the mayors evil
! dent purpose TO QlVeIt AL Ihc City AAohey PoS-
sible into his own pocket, the advertising has
been confined to his personal organ, which is
not admitted to many homes. In last weeks
issue of the mayors organ were three city
notices, occupying Isl inches, that if set in the
usual way would occupy not more than Inches
and as the usual newspaper charge for adver-
Using is by the inch, the price for this adver-
Using is nearly doubled. That the city bust
ness may not be conducted altogether in secret
we give the substance of these notices:
