Pa trick having mapped the future me tropolis of Southern Pines and blaz. ed a few streets through the black jack oaks covering the sandy wastes of Shaw’s Ridge, realized the need of postal service, not only for the handful of northern settlers, but for a mailing center for the flood of ad vertising deluging prospective set tlers. Dwellers in the embryo town could go to Manly for supplies, but that town’s postmark “Manly Sta tion P. O.” on outgoing mail origi nating in Southern Pines was not good advertising. Proceeding in his usual energetic manner he secured official sanction for a postoffice, re ceiving his commission in February, 1885. In the meantime, having procured a printing press ana the services of Frank P. Woodward as editor, Pa trick had the postmastership trans ferred to the editor of the “South ern Colonist,” Southern Pines first paper. Woodward whose commission was dated February 27, 1885, used a small shack located on the south east corner of New York avenue and west Broad street (just oppo site the new postoffice) for his many duties. The late Charles P. Grout, one of our early settlers, recalling this office told how he got his mail by searching through a drawer in a little table. This system of mail distribution was followed for a time by the next postmaster, John T. Wilson, who suc ceeded Woodward on September 3, 1886, moving the office to his gen eral store, then located in what is now known as the R. W. Brown house on New Hampshire avenue. Protests by the patrons of the office soon caused the abandonment of this slipshod method, Andrew Young con structing a rack of a dozen or more boxes to hold the increasing mail. President Harrison succeeded Cleve- land and the postoffice went to Cap tain A. M. Clarke on April 18, 1889, the mail benig distribute d from his home, now The Beverly, Pennsylvfji- ia avenue and Bennett street. Cleve land followed Harrison and the of fice was awarded to Lucius A. Young, (Please turn to page four) Herbert Hartgrovei Auto Wreck Victim Herbert Anthony Hari^ove of Hamlet, brother of Miss Helen Hart- grove of Southern Pines, was killed on “Sunday night in an automobile wreck at Green Pond, near Hamlet.

Chris tened on Tuesday night when the public passed approval at the “house warming” arranged by a committee of the Chamber of Commerce, the structure stands ready for service. In a statement issued to patrons of the office yesterday. Postmaster Frank Buchan said: ! “Our present plan is to vacate our I present quarters Saturday, April 16, ■ at 10:00 p. m. All mail will be dis- tributed and dispatched as usual on I that day. Let me insist however, that { you remove all your mail from your ; box after the evening mail has been } distributed. Mail will be dispatched ' from the new Federal Building on 1 Broad street Sunday, the 17th, so I all outgoing mail for Sundays trains should be put in the letter drops at ‘ the new office. "We are arranging to have a clerk in the new building from 1:00 to 6:00 p. m. on Saturday in order that boxholders may secure their keys. There will be a deposit charge of 20 cents per key. If we find it is pos. sible, we will distribute mail to the boxes on Sunday; however, we may find this impractical, so that it may be necessary for you to wait until Monday morning for your mail. I want to thank all in advance for their cooperation.” Pnbiic Innpection The public inspection party on Tuesday night was a great success. Nearly 1,000 visited the building dur ing the evening.

S. Highway No. 1 and of the Blair residence on Ben nett street, Southern Pines, were not confirmed by the Citizens aBnk & Trust Company, thirty-eight lots in Southern Pines were sold Wednes day for the J. C. Stanley Estate by Penny Brothers, Greensboro auction eers. The price on the Skyline house and 108 acres of land was bid up to $9,- 500 by an out of town bidder but the bid was declined on account of terms. The Blair property was knock ed down on a bid made by George C. Moore of ?4,725, but this price was not acceptable to the bank and the sale failed of confirmation, the bank having reserved the right to confirm or not. Thirty-eight lots of the Stanley estate brought $3,929, but it is un derstood some of these sales have not been confirmed. Two lots on May street between New York and MassEichusetts avenues were pur chased by Mrs. H. E. Thrower. One on the comer of Ridge street and Vermont avenue went to Garland Pierce, and three at May street and Vermont avenue to J. D. Arey, Mrs. Claude Hayes purchased five lots adjoining her property al the cor- ner of Bennett street and Massachu setts avenue. Dr. George G. Herr, chairman ofthe committee in charge of the house warming, and his cohorts greeted the crowd as it entered the build, ing, and showed them about. Post master Frank explained everything. The public was shown through the postmaster’s private office where hung pictures of George Washington, President Roosevelt, Senators Josiaa W. Bailey and Robert R. Reynolds, Congressman Walter Lambeth, Post master General James A. Farley and his assistant postmasters general, William W. Howes, Harlee Branch and Smith W. Purdum. Probably for the last time they’ll be admitted to inner sanctum, the populace wandered through the work ing part of the building, shown how and where the mail is sorted, both for box distribution and for the out going sacks. They saw the vaults, the racks, the parcel post tables, the inner workings of one of South ern Pines’ leading; industries. When they wandered out again they were served with punch by Miss Mary Richardson and Miss Florence Campbell, assisted by a bevy of beauteous young ladies of the town, and the christening party was over. Praise For Building Loud was the praises for the new Federal building, one of the prettiest in the country, according to Postoffice Department inspectors, and one of which the citizenry may well be proud. Mr. Buchan and his staff will have a busy week-end transferring all their goods and chattels from the Welch Building quarters to the new structure.
