Pursuant to the announcement

an employee of the Aiken post Of
flee, held an examination in the Court
House Saturday looking to filling the
vacancy in the Edgefeld post Office
caused by the term of Mr.. c. M. Mel

stood the examination were Mrs. W..

governing Civil Service appoint
ments, should the appointment be
made on merit and fitness, one of the
three making the highest mark on
the examination will be chosen for

ment has been made in, the public
print, even charged on the floor Of

will soon be shown whether this be
true or not, as the appointment will
be made at an early date.
