ment is under way to secure the APP
pointment of the widow of Thomas j.
Ball, the Mitchell pioneer who expired
in the midst of his official duties last
for the 16 months which remain of his
term. AS a reason for the movement, it
is pointed out that the former post
master made many sacrifices, which
might have gone toward the accumula-
ton OF a personal fortune, in order that
he city he loved and the friends he
cherished might advance. 1t is thought
that some slight reparation for this
may be made by allowing his widow to
enjoy the returns OF his office for the
