tell the Carthagenians that they were in
valids from Pinehurst it didn't go down
no sir! They were supposed to be
heavy capitalists from the Xorth looking
for investments. If we can only keep
the judge a few weeks more he will be
the healthiest man in the county.

IMiiflnir.sl'.N New Postmaster.
The vacancy in t he office of postmaster
in our village has been filled by the ap
pointment of Town Supt. Charles D.
Benbow, who assumed the duties of the
office on the first day of the new year.
Mr. Benbow is a native Xorth Caro
linian, having been born in Greensboro
this state, where he has passed the most
of his life, lie was educated at the
Friends school in Providence, P. I.,
graduating therefrom in 1880, and is also
a graduate of Eastmans Business college
of Syracuse, X. Y. He was Grand
Chancellor of the Knights of Pythias of
Xorth Carolina during the year of 1803,
and for a number of years held the posi
tion of chief engineer of the fire depart
ment of Greensboro, by the unanimous
vote of the city government.
His father, Dr. 1). W. C. Benbow, one
of the best known men in Xorth Caro
lina, in 1871 built in Greensboro the
then only first class hotel in the state,
and conducted it for many years to the
entire satisfaction of the traveling public.
There our new postmaster obtained
the experience and business training
which has peculiarly fitted him for the
responsible position of superintendent of
Pinehurst, which he fills to the satisfac
tion of Mr. Tufts as well as the many
northern guests who make this their
winter home.
The appointment of Mr. Benbow as
postmaster is satisfactory to the entire
community, and the business of the post
office will undoubtedly be conducted
with a high degree of efficiency and the
public receive the best service possible
under the present postal laws.
