NEW MAIL CARRIER
New Man in New Car to Scatter
Catal0gs On Rural Route
Number Done

Herman j. Campbell was appointed
carrier on rural route No. this week
by the postal department, to take eff
feet Immediately. Mr.. Campbell was
one of sixteen to take the exam
ination held recently and was ap-
pointed upon the recommendation of
Postmaster G.. C. Moores. Mr.. Moores
stated that although Mr.. Campbell
did not stand highest in the examina-
tion he felt that the appointment was
just in that the department failed to
allow his father, who has been COW
ering the route as substitute for
years, to join the civil service on ac-
count of his age.
Another factor considered by the
postmaster in making the recommen-
dation was the fact that his father
could act as substitute in case the
son was compelled to be absent.
Mr.. Campbell has purchased new
car for use on the route which is
nearly % miles long and will begin
his new work at once.

RECORD VOTING
ELECTS FRASER
Present Clerk of Board
Gets 379 Votes to 333
for Mrs. Keene

Rev. F. L. Fraser was reelected
school director at the election held
Saturday afternoon, winning by for
ty over his opponent Mrs. E. o.
Keene Of the Highlands. Out of a
total of 713 votes, Mr.. Fraser re-
ceived 379 to Mrs. Keene's 333. The
vote was the largest shown in a
school election in this district in
years.
There was no well defined issue,
each candidate merely proclaiming
the things they would not or could
not do, should they be elected, but
supporters of each supplied the is
sues to suit the occasion and as a re-
suit much interest was taken, opin-
ions being nearly equally divided.
Mr.. Fraser's supporters are jubi-
liant, while Mrs. Keene's hackers feel
that the showing made will have a
good effect eventually, and every
body is satisfied that the community
has the interests of the local school
system at heart.
Mr.. Fraser is the present clerk Of
the board, the other members being
M. M. Moulton, who was elected last
year and F. j. Arnold, who still has
another year to serve.

DIAMOND In SEWER
Valuable Ring Recovered after hay-

Recovering diamond ring after 1t
has gone down the drain pipe is a
piece of real luck according to Prin-
cipal Hodge of the local schools, Last
week while cleaning in the bathroom,
Mrs. Hodge lost diamond ring from
her finger and before she could re-
cover it, it had been washed down
the drain. Prompt connections with
the plumber resulted in its recovery
in the sewer pipe leading to the main.
By cutting hole in the drain near
the house and another near the main
connection the ring was recovered
and another couple made happy.
