HAVING AN AUTOMOBILS DELIVERY FOR NEW BRITAIN YOU CAN DEPEND ON PROMPTLY RECEIVING ALD PRY GOODS PURCHASED OF US BERLIN NEWS FAGAN WILL SERVE THREE MORE YEARS As Postmaster Even il Republi- cans Make Changes LOCAL COUPLE RUNS AWAY Return to New Britain on Xmas Day - and to Berlin This Morning—Social Activities of Bits, Although President Wilson has in- troduced a bill to the effect that the prosent postmasters will stay in office and parties will no longer have the fay as to who will be the next post- master, it appears that there will be several changes when President-elect Harding takes hia oath on the 4th of March. The bill which has been in- troduced has not been passed, there- tore giving Harding the chance to change the present toffice adminis- trations. . How this will affect the Berlin and s("nllnfilfln post offices is not known, but when Postmaster Fagan of the Kensington officé was Interviewed this morning In resard to the situation he sald: “Of course Mr. Harding will the Week—Berlin | change the personnel of the eofficesbut I do not think this will have any ef- fect on the third and fourth class of- fices, - of which- we-are one. in my opinion the postmasters in the first and second class offices are the ones who will be replaced. In these offices the postmaster is not required to know the small detadls such as specal delivery letters, registered letters, etc. When any one asks them about such an article they are referred to a clerk, whereas n the smaller offices the postmasters must know every small detail in regard to the postoffice serv. jees.” However, if a change should be made by the republican administra- tion it would not have effcct on the Kensington office for at least three years, as Postmaster Fagan still has three years and two months to serve before his time is up under the dem- ocratic administration. At the Berln office, Postmaster Barrett Is not sure of the length of time he will serve as he was put into office after taking the Civil Servce examinatons. Paper Goods Company Closes, The American Paper Goods factory closed this noon for the remainder of the week and will resume on next Monday morning.

RANDALL | Ladiecs’ Basketball Ladies’ Auxiliary Elects Officers— Notes—Masons Hold Night—Church Celebration —Other Items. | i coming of the cold weather, which has, in fact, already started, Plainville need have no.fear of a coal shortage. There has never been a time when the residents of the town really felt the seriousness of a situation of this sort, due to the able management of the local’ dealer, H. C. Thompson. There was a time, however, some months ago, when the people were urgeéd to “conserve as much coal as .possible. Stove coal sccms to be a hard proposition with all the. dealers throughout the coun- | try, and very little of it.can be se- i cured. -The bins in Mr Thompson’s | vard are filled with pea and nut coal, | and plenty of this ‘can be procured. There are several cars of this. kind on the road and will be received soon, providing freight congestion does notl With the hamper the shipment. The prices still | remain as before, but the feeling is that it will soon drop. When this will be, cannot be ascertained. The dealers, however, are forced to pay the price that was on the coal when ordered months back, and find it nec- essary to ask the topmost price to de- rive some profit from it. Mr. Thompson will retire from ac- tive business the first of the year, having sold his business to parties from Massachusetts. Before his re- tirement, Mr. Thompson will en- deavor to fill the remaining orders on the books consisting of his old customers. He will remain for some time with the new. dealers.that they may become acquainted with the people of Plainville and see that de- liveries will be made as usual. The real estate on Pierce street, where the coal yard is located, has not changed hands, but has only been leased to the new owners, who will merely take over the business. Jeremiah T. Randall.
