POS7OFFICE IS
FINISHING With
CHRISTMAS RUSH
WILL CLEAR IT UP TODAY
Volume Of Business Heaviest
Ever Known

The Americas postoffice force was
still busy on the job yesterday in dis
posing of what remained of the over
flow of Christmas packages, and vic
tory has about crowned their efforts.
The parcel post "tryout" demonstrated
the success of that institution as the
means of transmitting Xmas spack-
ages, and made 1t more than ever a
public necessity
The great piles of mail matter there
on Christmas morning have melted
away under the vigorous attacks of the
carriers and the last of the Christmas
tide will be wiped out today.
At the postoffice thousands and
thousands of parcel post pockages
have been handled daily, and in such a
quick and satisfactory manner that q
large number of well known citizens
have written Postmaster Davenport to
compliment him on the satisfactory
methods employed and on the COR
diality of all employees
The express company likewise, is
keeping many men and wagons busy
delivering goods. Many vans are n
use delivering packages that come in
on every train, and Agent Garner and
his forces have afforded as usual, a
most satisfactory holiday service.
