Beecher of this place with Postmaster A.E. Dudley of Neillsville, Aug. Schlender of Columbia and J.M. Tompkins of Granton.  Carrier W.E. Forman of Neillsville, Route 3 has seen 11 years of service and can tell of many interesting and pleasurable experiences falling to his lot through his work on the route.  Percy Free and B. Tykac have each completed their first year’s service within the last three months.  The Granton carriers entertained the bunch at the Eagle Hotel for dinner and a right social good time was enjoyed.  The delegates elected to the state convention which is to be held at Green Bay on May 29^th and 30^th, 1914 are as follows:  W.E. Foreman of Neillsville, Geo. Andrews of Greenwood, F.
