pointed that his recovery is not more
rapid. Some time ago he began to
show Improvement and it was felt that
the worst was over and he would gain
strength rapidly. But his recovery
has been slow; He is stated to be
much better than he was and holding
his own all the time with some i'm
Droyements az times. But at the same
time lists admitted that he. is not
making as much headway toward
speedy recovery as could be wished.
The senator maintains cheeriness
at all times although he is considera-
bly, weakened by his long illness. 1t is
predicted that as soon as he begins
to rally from his weakness his recov-
cry Will be rapid. The senator's splen-
did constitution has stood him in good
stead during his long period of i'll
ness and is relied upon now to bring
a quick recovery when he starts to
rally again.

RE- FUSE

Postoffce in Webster County
Goes Begging for Lack
of Candidates.
NAY BE ABOLISHED
Kanawha People Find That
Mail Carrier is Quicker
Than a Train.

I WASHINGTON, d. C., Dec. 30
With all the applicants there are for
political positions it seems strange
in West Virginia especially that a
postoftice would have to be discon-
tinued because no one could be
found to accept the postmastershlp.
But that is the case at Pugh, Web.
ster county, where Representative
Gaines has been compelled to rec
ommend the discontinuance of the
postoftice for that very reason. The
Office is small and the salary smaller,
and nobody wanted his own mail
bad enough to be bothered with act
ing as postmaster, so the Office will
be closed.
Carrier Quicker.
Another anomaly has been brought
to the attention of the postoffice Of
fee authorities from Kanawha
county, through complaint that
mail service by carrier has been dis
continued and train service substi-
tuted. The complaint is that the
mail does not come so promptly by
rail as by carrier. On the other
side of the case the postof1lce au-
thorities say the train service is
cheaper, and although a protest has
been filed the matter is still unset
tied. The place where the complaint
comes from is Wevaco, on Cabin
creek Formerly mail was delivered
at Dacota by rail and taken from
there to Wevaco by carrier. Bat
the railroad was extended and mail
service was extended also. Now the
patrons of the office say the train
gets in SO late at night that they do
not get their mail till next day
whereas they got 1T during the day
when the carrier brought it.
Recommends New Offices.
Representative Gaines has recon-
,mended the establishment of post.
office at Cowan, Webster county
near Webster Springs with T. G.
Gregory as postmaster. He has also
recommended the establishment of u
new postoftice at DroddI Webster
county, seven miles from Lans's Bot
tom, with George NJ, Mcfarland as
postmaster,
The postofTice at Durbiu, Pocahon-
tas county, has been raised to the
third class and Postmaster N, B. Ar
bogast has been reappointed.
MIR. Gaines has recommended the
disappointment of Charles Edwards
postmaster at Montgomery, Fayettc
county, and the appointment OF G,
| Il. Croft as postmaster at Nuttell-
burg, Fayette county; and of j. B,
Marble for postmaster at'.ilolcomp,
