The carpenters and masons put the
finishing touches on the new post office
last week, and the fixtures are J
now being put in place. We venture j,
the assertion that no town in North
Carolina the size of Boone has more ?,
commodious apartments for the handling
of mail than these. The new 11
highly-finished furnishings in the big y
and well lighted room, are certainly
very attractive. <"J
