The ocal authorities have as yet received io official notification from the gov. rnment of any change, but the gen :ral impression, which seems to be vell founded, is that the change will Pe made on July i. Some time ago Ln agent of the government was in ,ewberry and notified owners of uitable property that Ibids would be -eceived and considered for the use f their property by the government or a period of five or ten years. This loes not mean necessarily that the ostoffice will be removed from its >resent quarters, but that the building vhich it now occupies will be placed n competition with other suitable lo :ations. The Newberry postoffice being at >resent in the third class, the post naster receives a salary of $i,goo per ear -and fursishes boxes and outfit. hould the office be promoted to the econd class the postmaster's salary vould be increased to $2,ooo per year mnd everything would be furnished >y the government, including clerk uire.
