The partial paralysic to business is being telt more and more. Today a private office | was established for distribution of mail col- lected by an independent messenger service | from Heathmann and Greenville. Both of these postoffices are being con- gested with mail as the result of the clos- ing of the postoffice. The independent office here will be maintained at the expense of the citizens. No serious trouble is antici- pated by the more conservative people, but precautions have been taken by both the city and county officials to deputize a suffi- cient complement of men should the occa- | sion demand Postoffice inspectors are here checking up | the accounts of the abandoned office.
