Gets Things Done

MASTERTON has a new postmaster named James Mulvey. Masterton is fortunate. For Mulvey has been initiated into many degrees of the most noble order of Good Fellows and hath a nimble wit and agile mind. Pie has more than a nodding acquaintance with nominally arid towns for it so happens that put tritely, Masterton's gain is Ashburton's loss. Many a mile of road did Mulvey cover m the country of trotters and pacers what time he discoursed to John Hayseed and the guardian of "Briridle" upon the benefits, of . ruraldeliveries and telephones. When'Mulvey becomes acclimatized to. the Wairarapa William Broadacres is due for a sortie and the postal revenue for a barometrical . rise. Deeply-read, logical, affable and urbane J.M. carries lightly his burden of thirty-odd years' service for the State. Had the die of destiny been cast differently he might have successfully wooed the suffrages of the electors rather than sought fresh business for his department by persuasive tongue.
