raised, but there will be No difficulty
now in procuring the balance.

which determined the government to

WANTS A BRIDE
POSTMASTER AT SINoPE, La,
SAYS HE HAS SERVED GOVERN

WANTS A WIFE.
Rx Associated Press.

st. Louis, Jan. -6.-Horace Benjamin
Powell has succeeded in holding his
job as postmaster at Sinope, La, for
twenty-seven years through all kinds
of political adversities, but he is not
happy. He wants a model wife and
has appealed to st. Louis papers to
assist him in his search for the proper
woman.
In personal letters to the editors
Horace BenjaRin admits that he is Al
years old and that his morals are
above reproach. He feels that, having
served his country twenty-seyen years
he should be allowed a model wife
one who is handsome, educated and a
good cook. He would not marry q
girl solely for money, he says, but
naively admits a woman with several
thousand dollars to set him up in a
general merchandise business would
be very acceptable.
