The sentiment in favor of NOV
ing the post Office from its pres
ent quarters to the old Tschudy
store, next to Dunn's pharmacy
on Commerce Street, is meeting
with popular approval from cit
i1ens generally, who would well
come any change that would bring
the postoffice nearer the center of
the town. Since the publication of
the sale of the Tschudy real es-
tate to H. d. Hartman in last
weeks issue of the Smyrna Times,
and the announcement that Post
master Jefferson would take
term lease on the property and
move the postofice there if Mr..
Hartman would rebuild or remodel
the property, there has been more
or less talk concerning the post
Office change.
