Retire From Office May Alter Fifteen Years The truth is out regarding the in tention of our city John Switzer will not be a candidate for the office he has so acceptably fillet many His term will expire the latter part of April or practically May The writer is informed that our mayor will not be in a hurry abou appointing a successor to the expected vacancy but has his willing ness to be guided in a measure by the wishes of a majority of the business men of our city who individually de fray a portion of the expense of our peace It is a conceded fact that it will be a difficult matter

soon find out that the great proportion of peo ple care a great deal whether the ser ice is continued or That people along the rural routes appreciate tbe delivery of tbe mail at their doors in leu of going several miles to the post office is plainly evident on a stormy day when it is doubtful whether the mail carrier can get through or when vou can hear the patrons calling up on the phone to find out where the mail carrier Let the farmers Improve their own Any farmer who is public spirited can do wonders with the King drag after the road has been That talk about hurting the retailers s all We will always have retail stores to furnish us with what we If the parcels post would make it possible for tbe farm era to get goods from tbe mail order louses cheaper than from the retailers wouldnt they be What a rood many retailers want is a little against the par cels post are tbe ones who want to keep the farmers in the DEATH OF of Former Resident of Union Township U Brought Bach to Al gona
