We believe we are safe in stating
that the old hotel property has passed
into the possession of the S. & F. Ry.
Company, and we have been told it is
their purpose to erect upon it COM
modious waiting room and possibly a
car barn at no very distant date.
After April first, the Clio postoffice
will be located in the store building
formerly occupied by C. w. Taylor in
the Masonic Temple. This should make
a very neat and commodious room for
the office and Uncle Sam will be a good
paying, steady tenant of the building.
The expense of moving will be borne
by the postmaster.

beautiful city hall at that place, the
building being some fifteen stories in
height. Mr. Wirth says the weather

well and enjoying every minute of the

Through little inattention on the
part of the editor, the name of Miss
Marine Rice was omitted from Post
master Lacure's card of thanks in last
weeks Messenger. AS a matter of
fact. the ex-postmaster is very deeply
grateful to Miss Rice for her very
efficient and faithful service and, we
believe, his sense of appreciation is
shared by practically every patron OF
7 the office.

q to have them leave, but will wish them
, all possible success and happiness in
5 their new home.
