Trouble About Post office. People of Folkston Make a Kick About a Change
Waycross, Ga, June 7.—There has developed some dissatisfaction at the change of the management in the post-office at Folkston.  Col. J. Price Robinson was appointed a few months ago by the Republican administration, to
succeed Henry A Renfroe, a Democrat, Mr. Robinson opened the post- office In the old Leigh building, which is not as convenient to the principal business of the town as the location of Mr. Renfroe.  As a result, some parties
In Folkston have been mailing their letters on the train, The complaint has reached the department and the postmaster has been instructed to place a mall box near the depot for the convenience and accommodation of the business men. It is presumed that this arrangement will be entirely satisfactory to all of the parties and that the threat of the government to have the mail cars locked as the train passed through Folkston, will not be carried into effect.
