The New Postmaster Takes Charge.
Thos. W. Hicks, whose appointment
as postmaster at Henderson was an
nounced a few weeks ago, took charge
of the office and entered upon his duties
last Friday. As stated by us at the
time this appointment is not at all sat
isfactory to our people but with becom
ing grace they accept the inevitable and
must abide the consequences. The
Gold Leaf will treat Mr. Hicks with
justice and fairness and if he proves
himself a capable and worthy official
we shall give them credit for it, and if
he does not we shall not hesitate to say
so. He will retain Badger Burroughs
as chief mailing clerk. Mr. R. B Hen
derson is assisting the new postmaster j
for the present and instructing him in
the general business conduct of the of
fice. Mr. Hicks says it is his intention
to discharge the duties of the office in a
clean and business like manner, to the
best interests of the patrons of the of
fice and to their entire satisfaction as
far as it is possible to do so.
