Frank P. Mitchell will be postmast or of Americus for the foil term of fonrjyeara. The appointment Las al ready been made by President Boose velt and with several others of like oharaoter have been sent in to the Senate for confirmation. Such was the gratifying information reoeived by Mr. Mitchell yesterday morning, conveyed in a telegram sent from Washington. It has been expected all along [that Mr. Mitchell wonld get it. Aa asBistiant postmaster of Amerions for a long number of years he was the logical man for the place, besides be ing capable of discharging the duties of the office. Sinoe the death of Poet master B. A. Smith eeveral months ago he has served in that capaoity. To Mr. Mitohell belonged the unique distinction of being the only white repnblioan in the city of Americns He ia a republican from principle, as was his father before him. There were numerous other appli cantaforthe .vacancy, bnt with the endorsement of many of the leading business houses and oitizens of Ameri ons, together with that of the politieal powers of the state, Mr. Mitcholl was easily the leader from the first. He was. born and reared here in Amerions and has the confidence and esteem of the entire oity and .oonnty without regard to political party or to oolor. While nothing to that end has been announoed it is generally supposed that the personel of the postofflee foroe will remain nnchanged under the new administration. All the em ployes there are very oapabie and at tentive to their duties.

It was to answer to a little charge made by that bhsy grand jury. Calling at Holioitor Hooper's office, the gentlemen stated bis business and declared that never in all hie life had he ever played cards in Americns, either for love or money. 'But how how about playing poker ouco at Plains,” he was asked. A great light dawned upon .the Co- lumbusite, and he smiled a sweet and almost audible smile. “That’s a foot, by Jove” he replied 'I did once get in a little game there while waiting for a delayed train. I played, Col. Hooper, .and I will pay the bill. Wbatdid tbatgamo at The Plains that day cost me?” ‘Sixty," answered the Boiioitor, with a far away dreamy look out of the window. "Thai's all right; I'll pay it, but what bothered me was the idea that I had ever played poker in Amerious. I knew I hadn’t, and I had clear for gotten that little game at Plains, whioh is in this oonnty.” The sixty shekels were forthcoming, and the meeting adjourned with |Go- lnmbns as a discoverer of the faot that ha had discovered something. ••If you want to know what smartly dressed men will wear this season, ask to see Fechheimer-Fishel Smart Clothes.'
