According to the postoftlce receipts for the past year, Laurens maintains her position in the class of towns en titled to city delivery. However, he fore the postodlco department will undertake to install the system here, the streets must he named and proper ly marked ami the houses of the city renumbered. This work has been de layed, for satisfactory reasons, we Slippose, hut i! is understood that the material is here now and that the city will take up and complete the work at an early day. Sometime during the past year an Official Inspection of the city was made by a representative of the postodlco department relative to the installa tion of the city delivery service, hut this official made an unfavorable rec ommendation for the reason that the town had not complied with the re quirements in the matter of posting the streets and numbering tin? resi dences and business houses of the! city. The mayor on Monday assured The Advertiser that as soon as some fur ther preliminaries could be arranged the work would proceed.
