W. A. Davenport, Post-Office Clerk, Transferred as Carrier.

W. A. Davenport, who has been a clerk in the local postoffice for several years, has received an order transferring him as carrier of Sural ■Route No. 1 out of this city, the change to take place on Aug. Ist. Mr. Davenport made application for the transfer when John Daugherty resigned as carrier several months ago. Since the latter’s resignation Mort Murray has been carrying the route as substitute. The salary as carrier is $1,200 per year, which is better than the clerk salary and permits the carrier to complete his day's work ordinarily-before noon. The vacancy which will exist in the postoffice has not yet been filled and, in fact, there is another vacant clerkship created by the order of July Ist and which will pay a salary of SBOO. An examination was held last spring but the government has not yet reported the result. The successor to Mr. Davenport will receive SBOO per year, not attaining the pay he received until he has worked for some time. The other deputy is Miss Wilda Littlefield, daughter of the postmaster, whose recent illness and operation has left the postoffice force considerably short. It is expected that two new clerks will be named by Aug. Ist.
