Messrs. Hall & Treanor tire now
having the store-rooms occupied by
them enlarged, and after the 1st of
S-ptember will occupy but one of
them, having rented the east one to
Post-master Wilson.
Mr. Wilson thinks that this store
will be preferable for a post office, as
it is somewhat removed from the
main business portion of the city, and
yet it is centrally located, and will be
as convenient for the people as the
building now occupied. He will pur
chase new fixtures, and intends that
this city shall have the neat^t and
nicest office it has ever had.
. The Green Stamps.
As lias been noticed in the columns
of the Union Recorder for several

number of merchants. At a meeting
of the city council held Monday night,
the 8th inst., some of the merchants
who did not go into the agreement, for
one reasotn or another, were present
and made an appeal, urging that a tax
be placed upon the stamps. The coun
cil on this occasion adjourned without
taking action on the question. It,
however, came up again at the meet
ing yesterday afternoon, but we go to
press before a decision was reached.
The fight is on and will be hotly con
tested by both sides.
A GAME OF BALL.

for a new one of the next higher grade, the
dealer will make the same allowance for
the old book as though It was exchanged
for a new book of its own grade or num
ber.
