AND NOW SIT is UP TO U.s."
FAINT Writes of the Pro-
posed Observation-Disclosures Service.

Editor Keowee Courier: AS pre-
viously announced, the Post Office
Department, in response to the per-
sistent appeals Of Congressman wy
att Aiken, has agreed to establish a
daily round-trip motor car service
between Walhalla and Highlands for
the transportation of the mails, pro-
vided the service can be had at a
reasonable cost. Failing in this, it
is more than probable hat the old
time horse service will be adopted.
Therefore it is cup to u.s. which ser
vice we will have. This is an oppor-
tunity that Walhalla should make
the most of and not let go by de-
falN.
During the summer season a daily
motor tally-ho line could be MAIN
tanned at a nice profit, which would
be a big advertisement for both Wal
ilaiia and Highlands. The law does
not forbid the transportation Of pas
sengers, baggage or parcels if not al
lowed to interfere with the schedule.
This a that there would be con-
siderable business additional.
Bids are now being advertised for
and the blank forms of proposals
and any other information desired
can be had by applying at the post
office. Bids close on August 18th.
N. FAINT, Postmaster.
Walhalla, July %.
