CONTRACT FOR CARRYING CITY MAIL NOT LET

George D. McCarthy Still Doing the. Work Although He Resigned Six Weeks Ago. On Nov. 6th George D. McCarthy resigned as mail carrier between the depot and the postoffice.' The regulations require thirty days’ ‘notice and Mr. McCarthy’s time was up on Dec. sth, and last month bids were asked and several were received, but up to this" time no ope has been appointed and Mr. McCarthy is still carrying it, much to his dislika»as he had hoped to be rid of the heavy work during the holidays. This is a sample of the shamefully dilatory pretice of the government in matters of this kind. Mr. McCarthy’s resignation has been in seven weeks and there seems no reasonable excuse for him being required to serve after the thirty days. For years this very difficult job, which requires a man witrf a horse to be on duty almost constantly from 4 o’clock in the morning till 8 o’clock at night, has been taken at less than half price and then the government • officials hold a man long past the time he desires to serve. No word has been received and it is hard to tell how much longer he will be required to carry the mail before some “stiff” at Washington wakes up and orders him relieved.

A Morocco bank had ordered calendars for distribution as a means of advertising but the calendars did not arrive owing to a misunderstanding and the bank decided to divide the SIOO that the calendars were to have cost equally among the four aid societies of that town. That was a good way to spend the money and it met the approval, doubtless, of the aid society members.

Roast turkey and oyster dressing at Fate’s College Inn Christmas day. By am oversight The Republican left the name of Eli Gerber out of the last of delegates selected at the democratic mass convention last Saturday. The Democrat asks: “Was this an oversight or has The Republican again soured on Gerber, who it so unmercifully abused when he was on the city council?” Presumably The Republican is expected to reply to this very courteous question and we take pleasure in doing so. It was an oversight. The Republican has not soured on Mr. Gerber “again”, as The Democrat puts it. During the more than eight yeans that the writer has .been connected with The Republican he has been on terms of near-friendship with Mr. Gerber, whom The Democrat denominates a “peanutter,” and The Republican never “unmercifully abused” him either. Mr, Gerber has been very staunch in his democracy and has given The •Republican but scant patronage, taking The Evening Republican, we believe, for about two weeks on one occasion and stopping it at the first appearance of an article opposing democratic doctrine. But Mr. Gerber paid- for what he received, as is his custom, and we have been just as friendly toward him as though he was a regular patron. Our friendships are not measured by the amount of .business some one does with us. Within the past lew months Mr. Gerber expressed himself as favoring N. Littlefield instead of Editor Babcock for the postoffice. Babcock at once cut Mr. Gerber from his list of friends and has since then taken little digs at him through the columns of- his faction-making newspaper. Just at this cheerful Christmas period The Republican wishes to express itself at peace with the world and not being on a single person. If our eelf-esteeemed brother down the street could cultivate this happy frame of mind, what a difference it would make in clearing up the grouch that has burdened him for so many years and which has seemed to intensify so greatly ever since he was tempted and fell because of his ambition to be the postmaster.

Parr Postoffice Swamped With Its Christmas Business.

Postmaster Wood, of Parr, found himself swamped with Christmas packages Tuesday jgvening and Wednesday morning. The parcels post has been responsible tor the great increase in the holiday post office business and Rural Route Carrier Allen Witham, of Parr, could not begin to carry all of,.the mail and had to have his substitute carrier, Glenn Norman, in another rig, also make the rounds. They distributed Christmas packages all along the route and did a Santa Clause act that will make them prime favorites over the territory traversed by the route. It is not improbable that there will ,be another accumulation of presents so great that both carriers and two wagons will be required again Thursday

Two Deserted Children Taken To the Julia Work Home.

Deputy Sheriff Gus Grant took Clark and Fannie Marlin to the Julia Work home at Plymouth Monday. The boy is 10 and the girl 8 yeans of age and they are the children of Steve Marlin, whose domestic troubles resulted in the separation of himself and wife several months ago. His wife went to Kentucky and Steve is said to be in North Dakota. The children were cared for by an older brother who lives on Sheriff Hoover’s farm, but the burden was too great for him and it was decided to send them to the orphans’ asylum, and they will probably be found permanent homes.

Case Filed Asks That She Be Declared the Heir to All of the Land of B. J. Gifford.

Attorney John A. Dunlap has filed with the Jasper circuit court for Miss Regina Burras suit for the entire estate of the late Benjamin J. Gifford. The complaint sets out that she is, the only heir to the estate and that by the terms of the wih which he,made and of which George H. Gifford is the executor, the eptate is mainly left to distant relatives. The complaint alleges that Mr. Gifford was of unsound mjnd when the will was made.

Then are the king and his court assembled in a great room of the palace, which is all white, the floor of marble and the walls hung with curtains of white silk. Ail are in white apparel and they offer unto the king white gifts to show that their love and loyalty are without stain. The rich bring to their lord pearls, carvings of ivory, white chargers and costly, broidered garments. The poor present white pigeons and handfuls of rice. Nor doth the great king regard one gift above another so long as all be whitz. And so they keep the king’s birthday.” The entertainment is free to all and the public is cordially invited to attend these exercises at the hour named.
