When a second rural route was allotted to the town of Mooreland there "was a scramble to secure the appointment as carrier. Postmaster Dora Haines, who had been appointed several years before, influenced his son to make application for appointment under the civil service rules. When the postal department ascertained that the applicant was the son of the postmaster information Avas forwarded to Mr. Haines that his son could not be appointed carrier under the rules? of the department while he held the office of postmaster. Mr. Haines believed that the information implied that his son would be appointed if he"' would resign as postmaster, and, inasmuch as the pay of a carrier is twice as much as that of the postmast er, he considered it a good business stroke to resign the office so that his son could secure the appointment as carrier. The resignation -was accepted and Frank Main was appointed postmaster in place of Mr. Haines.

MIXTURE

SECOND NIGHT

OF CARNIVAL VERY LARGE CROWDS PRESENT. DESPITE WEATHER NO BAD FEATURES The Lack of Objectionable Features Proves Especially Pleasing to the People. The second night of the carnival, was attended by an even larger crowd' than was present mi Monday evenirr. although the weather was far fna good, the cold, blustering wind, keeping the large crowds a-shiver throucri -out .the evening. Inside the sdio-v it was a trifle better, and tl laiv? con t er space was kept ra t her empt y. By last night eveything had been p d in position, and there w.ere n dra vbacks, all the ; apparatus beim ta shape, and everything in a finished condition. The shows, of which fur new ones were added that did not hyl put up on Monday, were'-'exeeeiliuuly well attended, and the face of the manager wore a broad smile on ee ing the crowds that poured imo tLe shows, especially "Creation. The especially noticeable feature of the carnival is J tfie total lack of any shows that are in any way obnoxious or unseemly. No "Dancing girls,', no ' "Egypt," no "Gay Paree." nor asiy other objectionable show is on the around, and yet the carnival is commended by all classes. In some of of.-the cornivals that have been hoie the objectionable or immoral .shows have kept away certain classes, but at the Druids' carnival there is nothing to keep out any person, no matter how "good." This feature receives a gi-eat deal of favorable commendation," and indeed, is a particjlarly excellent one. There is nothing "shoddy" about the Mundy carnival company, and in every way it excells the other carnival companies that have been in Richmond. An ev en larger crowd is looked for tonight.
