plished most gratifying results stimu-

NEW GOVT BLDG.
TO Be OCCUPIED
BETWEEN sept. IS
and OCTOBER ST

Postmaster Cresap has received or
ders from the department to move the
postoffice to the new government
building between Sept. Is and Oct. !.
It is not likely that business can be
transacted before the latter date If it
can by that time. 1t is thought the
contractor will have his work COM
pleted, but neither the boxes nor the
safe have yet arrived and it will not
be possible to use the building before
these are installed. The boxes were
shipped September 20, and no noti-
fication has been received that the
safe has been shipped yet. The way
freight travels these days makes it
very uncertain as to when this equip,
ment will reach here.
AS soon as the present postoffic.
quarters are vacated, it is understood
they will he remodeled in order to be
occupied by the dry goods department
