"W. f. Milan, Of Walhalla, a former
mail clerk on the Blue Ridge Rail-
way, was in Seneca last week on
business. Mr.. Milan has greatly i'm
proved in health since leaving the
postal service, he having gained in
flesh since his retirement 35 pounds.
We understand that Mr.. Milan
stands an excellent chance Of land
ing the postmastership in Walhalla
as the Republicans take over the
reins Of government" Mr.. Milan in
speaking Of the above paragraph.
stated that it was "entirely prema-
ture.' and we understand that he is
not seeking the postma stership here

moved on political grounds. Both
gentlemen being staunch Democrats,

can administration would remove
good Democratic postmaster in or
der to give the position to another
good man IN the Democratic party.

been recognized as one of the ton

OF friends here and elsewhere, and
we believe that he local sentiment
here is practically unanimous that
Mr.. FAINT would be the choice for the
postmastership, as he has made un-
questionably the best postmaster
Walhalla has ever had. Time was
when a Republican administration

postmaster on coming into power,
