MIS SAUNDERS IS PUHING ACROSS Miss Annie Saunders, postmistress at Sherrill's Ford, destroys the forti fications not only of Postmaster Os borne Brown at Long Island, but al so those of Postmaster Turner at M'onbo and in addition gasses the War Savings Stamps salesmen of Post master Connor at Terrell. Miss Saunders, by selling War Savings Stamps in one day of a greater val ue than the postage stamps sold at her office during the last two and 1-J years, has outclassed all the post masters of the county. Her sales on Tuesday amounted to $1,150 ma turity value. Who was it that said women canx fight during a war? Is there any one who does not now believe in giv ing the ladies the right to vote? There is not a postmaster in Cataw ba county who would now have the nerve to oppose Miss Saunders in any fight she right desire to make.
