Mrs. Brewer had been in failing
health about nine years.
She was a member Of Union Chapel
Methodist Protestant church near Kit

since early life. Funeral services were
held at o'clock this afternoon at
Tabernacle M e h o d ist Episcopal

POST OFFICE GOES
INTO FIRST CLASS
But No Changes in Prospect
for Immediate Better
ment of Service
BIDS WILL BE OPENED
Preparations Begun for Starting Con
structiOn of Addition to Present
Quarters, but Date Is
not Certain.

AS result of a large increase in
volume of business during the calen-
dar year 1885, the Henderson post
office tomorrow will be advanced to
the rating of first class. SO far as any
increased or enlarged service to pa
irons of the office is concerned, none
has been authorized, Postmaster J.
r. league announced today.
The only change will be that the
office will be given the right to handle
its own dead letter mail, which in
itself is no particular service to the
public The postmaster and the assis-
tant postmaster get pay increases as
the result of the advanced rating
Because of a heavier volume of bus
mess and congested conditions in the
office, however, the building is to be
greatly enlarged, by probably half or
more in the immediate future, and
bids for the work have been adver-
tised to be opened in Washington to-
morrow afternoon at one o'clock. No
information was available here today,
however, as to the approximate a.
mount of money to be spent. Offers
have also been made to the Treasury
Department on temporary quarters
for the use of the post office while
the construction program is under
way, but no final action has been
taken on any of these, SO far as has
been learned here.
BY reason of the fact that bids are
being opened for the addition, it is
supposed that work will start shortly
and that the office will be transferred
to temporary quarters in the very
near future.
There has been some demand for
better night service here, SO that it
would be possible to mail letters up
to midnight and get them away on
night trains and also for greater
speed in distribution of mail that
comes in from the north on afternoon
trains,
