gagged in carrying the mails from the
Gastonia postoffice to the trains Jim's
main fault, as therein recorded, was
in going to sleep while waiting for the
train and often failing to get the
pouches on the mail car. Rural Let

| Gastonia route one, says that Jim is
still living and Is engaged in the identi-
cal occupation that was his forty
years ago. He lives now, however, at
Dallas. Some weeks ago Mr.. Smith
was at Dallas and heard the same thing
said about Jim that was recorded In
the Gazette thirty-five years ago.
Recently at Dallas, he went to sleep
while waiting for the train. Awaking
suddenly he rushed out half awake
and threw the mail sacks through an
open, box car, thinking 1t was the mail
car. Time doesn't seem to have work.

iting Presbyterians from nearby ter
