NO ACTION TAKEN YET IN POSTOFFICE MATTER. An item in a Tampa paper recently has caused some persons to believe thet a removal of the postoffice to a certain building was about to be made. The Telegram is in position to state that no action whatever bearing upon the location of the post- office has yet been taken. Several propositions to furnish quarters for the postoffice are now before the de- partment, and it is likely that some action will be taken at an early date. Up to this time, however, the mat- ter remains in statu quo, and no word has been received from the de- partment to indicat. wkhkich of the locations offered will eventually be accepted.

During this sale a discount ot 20 per cent off each dollar will be allowed on al] purchases, and as the goods are first-class in every particu- lar, and were previously marked very low. the opportunity to get season- able clothing at extemely low prices will probably be embraced by a large number of Mr, LeVay's old patrons, who have always Jound him “on the square,” as wel] as by many who have not heretofore been his custom- ers.

What is claimed to be the largest pumpkin in the world is on exhibi- tion in the window of the Ferris tailor shop at Miami, and was grown on the Everglades. The pumpkin weighs 125 pounds, and measures six feet and Your inches either way, in circumference. Thus it beats the world’s record for pumpkin size by eight inches and eighteen pounds. Mr. H. ). Freeman, a prominent grow- er west of Little River, has the hon- or of growing this titanic pumpkin and states that he has others nearly as large, FAMOUS WAR VESSEL.
