Of course there are more than two young men in Edgefield, who are faithful to duty, but The Ad vertiser feels that there are two in the postofiice who deserve special mention at this time. We refer to' Mark Miller and Watson Ouzts. During the period just preceding Christmas .when th. *e was constant demand on their strength, to say nothing of their patience, they meas ured up to everything that could be expected of them by an exacting public. r?he outgoing and incom ing mails were all heavy but these young gentlemen handled every de tail with seeming ease, being court eous and obliging all the while. It is due them that they should be commended for the manner in which they have served the patrons of the office during this period of stress and strain. . This does not mean, however, that Mark and "Wat" are not faithful and efficient all the time, for they are. So The Adver vertiser herewith pins a blue ribbon on the lapel of each of these faith ful young men. Accepts a Better Position. The friends of Mr. J. D.
