Walter w. Cloud, for several wears
postmaster here has rendered his r.s-
ignation to the postmaster general to
take effect at once. Ill health makes
this move necessary. Mr.. Cloud has
been one of the best officials this city
has ever had and his enforced rcsiy-

not alone here but in the surrounding
country. 1t is believed that Harry r.

been circulated bearing tlc names of
practically every resident os the city

votes cast at the election. Something

according to the state constitution, for

taken in the matter remains to be
seen.
In order that the various i,.ries
which may try cases here may be
more exclusive than in the past, the
