 Interest is by no means tagging in the possible new postmaster in town. While all signs have been pointing to John Donaldson as the new appointee, no assurances are given that he is to be appointed. Rumor is still active connecting MT. TarHon with the possi- ble appointment. Mr.Tarlton has many friends and they say he is the most logical candidate; that he is thor ough1y capable man for the position and that they are doing all possible to secure his appointment. Congress adjourning just at this time leads many to predict that no change is to be made for some time, at least In discussing the postmastership many townspeople say they know of no better and more faithful man for the position than the present encum- bent Postmaster Will O. Burr. Elk presSfonS are frequently heard that ! in this important position merit and character should be the first requisite necessary, and surely they say MT. Burr is amply equipped with both these necessary articles. Let the politicians for once bury their cudgels and give the town postmas- ter who has been at the beck and call of all having occasion to visit the | local post office.
 l Miss Loretta Burr, daughter of l Postmaster Will O. Burr, and Miss | Minnie Perry will give a social affair, 1 Saturday evening at the Greenfield

 Miss Annie Carroll, the efficient chief clerk to Postmaster Burr, will go on a weeks vacation, starting
 with the coming Monday. Miss Car i roll has been an untiring worker for
 the postmaster and her intended va
 cation will be a well deserved rest. i While the beach people are about 1 vacating our beaches for the season

 have been generally satisfied. In preparation for a record breaking business next season all interests are going right ahead with Improvement which will assure a first class pleasure resort for the future.
