pressed in letter which Deputy Col
lector d. f. Noreis has Just received
from collector Peter kruger of Indian

ply 10 the letter of resignation which
Mr.. Noreis sent TO Indianapolis recently.
Mr.. Kruger expresses regret that Mr..
Voreis is leaving the service as rela-
tions between the Hammond Office and
Indianapolis headquarters have always
been the most cordial Mr.. Voreis has
received instructions to refer all orders
for cigar and tobacco stamps to the Of
flee at South Bend. as all northern Indi-
ana orders will be handled from that
place in the future. Proprietary and
documentary stamps may still be OBJ
tained from the Hammond office but it
is planned soon TO place this in the
hands Of the postmasters of the county.
This Will be followed all over the coun-
try and as the demand for the stamps
is great it will prove a decided conven-
fence to purchasers.
