Will Bear the Flag.

For the first time since 1869 and practically since the establishment of the United States postal system the people will have the privilege of using a postage stamp bearing the flag of the republic, with the issuance of'the new series of postage stamps now in process of printing. The stampdisplaying prominently the Stars and Stripes will be the two-cent denomination, but it will bear no resemblance the two cent stamp in use today.
