Postmaster Farrow is still determined to move the office, while those who are opposing its removal are as fully de termined to keep it where it now is. Those who are opposed to its re moval have appealed to Congressman Tate and have asked him to use his in fluence in their behalf. Postmaster Farrow is not discouraged by this, however, as he says a majority of the patrons of the office favor the removal to the Hudson house, and that he is go ing to move it.
