WOODFORO STAGE
MAKESLAST TRIP
ON MONDAY
Sixty-Five Families Lose Mail
Delivery
DRIVER HAS ANOTHER JOB
DEPARTMENT Ordered Discontinuance
of Star Route and Then Wanted
il Resumed

II looks as though So families liv-
ing on the road to Woodford and in
the immediate vicinity of Woodford
city" would be practically cut on
from the remainder of the world so
far as mail facilities are concerned,
after Monday next. Carl Bugbee,
who has carried the mail and driven
the stage between this village and
Woodford will make his last trip on
the 31st of the present month and
no one has been secured to take up
the work.
The difficulty in which the people
of Woodford and those living on the
road between the city and Benning-
ton now find themselves has arisen
over the refusal some time ago OF
the postmaster. G. w. Scott, to con
tinue in the position After advertis-
| ing several examinations for candid
ates to succeed Mr.. Scott and recelV-
ing no applications the postofiice de-
partment at Washington issued an
order discharging Carrier Bugbee and
fixing the date for his last trip at
January 81.
In the meantime the people inter
ested kept urging Mr. Scott to con
tinue the office and he at last agreed
10 do so. The department then is
sued an order for Mr.. Busbee to re
sumo his contract as driver but he
has refused to do so, having sold his
horses and secured another job.
Without carrier the postoihct
will not afford the people of Wood
ford many conveniences. Postmas
ter Scott has the power to authorize
some person to carry the mail irree
ularly from Bennington to Woodford
but inasmuch as the returns to tn
postmaster are less than $50 yea
D it is difficult to see how he can affor
I any compensation for that service.
The government may contrac
S with another carrier or adopt the SUI
+ gestion of establishing a rural rout
nasmuch as the larger portion
u the people interested live on the roa
T, between this village and Woodfor
d and have received their mail dire
( from Mr. Bugbee as he passed the
10 homes
