Tuskeego Post Office Re-established

A few weeks ago the post office at
Tuskeego was discontinued and all,
mail was sent to Lamont. The resi-
dents of the Tuskeego vicinity were
up in arms over the matter and took
it up with the authorities at Wash
ington, and they have succeeded in
having the Office restored. Several
of our subscribers who received mail
at Tuskeego have been complaining
they did not receive their papers,
but we trust they will now receive
The Reporter regularly every Thurs

Speaks Well of Our New CIothier.

The following notices clipped from
the Albany, Mo-, papers, show what
is thought of the young merchant
who last week purchased the Forbes
clothing store in this city, in the
town where he was raised:
Garvn B. Price, who has grown up
in the clothing store of his father,
A. B. Price, in Albany and who has
developed into one of the best sales
men in the store, has gone into busi-
ness for himself, having bought a
stock of clothing at Leon, Iowa, the
first of the week. Sunday he and his
wife went to Leon to look over the
location and stock, and on Tuesday
the deal was made and Garvin is now
in charge.
1t is Garvin's intention to remod-
Ell and refit the store room with new
and up-to-date fixtures and to make
it compare with the best in towns of
that size. He also expects to add
new lines of clothing as we'll as mems
toggery. He will doubtless make a
success of his venture, for he is a
5pusher in his line, firm believer in
newspaper publicity and good mix
er. We are sorry to lose him and
his estimable young wife, as they
will be missed in social and business
circles, but we heartily commend
them to the good people of Leon
Albany Ledger.

The July 1914 Democratic primary
has passed into history. Its story has
been written into the political arch
ives Of Texas. together with It's vic
tories and It's defeats.
In summing up the results the pre-
dominating and oyershadowing feat
ure OF the whole matter Is that pro
hibltion has again been repudiated by
the people OF Texas. The candidate
Of the prohibition forces. Col. Thos
u. Ball. supported by the leading
antis and leading anti newspapers OF
the state has been defeated, and
James II. Ferguson. a pronounced and
positive anti, single-handed and alone
has been nominated. II Ferguson had
been supported by the leading ant
politicians OF the state and the ant
press. the defeat OF the pro candidate
would have been staggering.
The question OF submission alsC
seems to have been defeateds the anti
submissionists being about 1000 ahead
in the votes that have been counted
and there is little prospect that this
will be overcome. This shows The
people Of the state desire a rest from
prohibition agitation. and that othel
and needed legislation be given atten
tion.
