- A lengthy petition has been signed by our best citizens for present incumbent of the office to have his commission continued. A responsible citizen signed the postmaster’s petition, and said, “I have frequented the post office almost daily, and have always found our postmaster courteous, polite and obliging to children and adults alike, and always at his post of duty, and capable to manage our postal affairs in first class condition. That which others are doing is for the gratification of partizen spleen.”
