De Leon Post
Office Is Good
Community Asset
. The De Leon public has annually
into the treasury of the oostoffice
for postage and box rent; the approxi-
mate sum of. $8,000.00. The govern-
ment pays back into De Leon com-
munity in wages, rents, drayage
charge for handling mail to" and
from trains, janitor hire, etc. the ap-
proximate sum pf >16,925.00 annually.
Tt‘s a good trade, with the balance
”n the ledger favoring the home
community more than two for en«.
Postmaster C. R. Redden has an-
nounced that the sale of stamps and
stamped paper, and the receipts for
box rent for 1931, passed the $8,000
mark; in spite of, abnormal times.
This automatically places the local
postoffice in the second class fpr
another year and retains the service
of postmaster, tvo clerks, one sub/
titute clerk anti five rural carriers.
New Fixtures Added
The government formerly leased
the- postoffice building together with
its fixtures. A new arrangement- has
been ihade whereby the government
has installed . its own fixtures, in-
cluding beautiful light oak furniture
with 380 boxes, all brand new. The
> are decidedly the most at-
tractive and convenient ever in use
in a De Leon postoffice..

— Alvin Murphey, of 3an Francisco,
came to town one day this’Week. He
inquired where Rev. G. E. Murphev
lived and was,-directed toward the
east part of town. As he went down
the sidewalk past the postoffice he
saw an elderly man, stooped with age
and leaning heavily on a cane, come
trpthe walk toward town.
—/‘I’m Hooking for the home of G. E.
Murphrey,” he stated. “Can you tell
m< (ttre I’ll find it?”
Lam G. E. Murphrey,” the elderiv
man replied.
“I am Alvin Murphrey,” the young-
er man said.
Father and son stood staring at
Neither recognized the
•other. Neither spoke for a moment,
then the father found his voice and
said: “You can’t be my son, Alvin?”
If you are G. E. Murphrey I am,”
he replied. ---
Jt was a happy meeting. Rev. Mur-
phrey is up in the 80’s and his son
W 54. Thirty-two years ago the son
went, west and has lived on the West
Coast since then. Lately he heard
that his father still lived and *he
i came to Texas, unannounced to see
him. He is a welcome guest in the
home this week, and also in the hbme
of his. sister, Mrs. Henry Freeman,
whom he had not seen through the
| years.
