No advice is available as yet regarding the Mystery which had not left St. Tho- mas up to this morning. Thanks to the energy of the postmas- ter at this end, who made a special trip to Frederiksted last night and brought over three bags of registered matter, some parcels and prints, this mail is in the hai ds of the public this morn- ing several hours ahead of customary time. Mr. Larsen requests us on be- half of the patrons of the Christiansted Post Office and himself, to express thanks and appreciation for the kindness and courtesy shown by the captain of the Lake Fackler in personally deliver- ing this mail at a late hour to accomo- date the public. Postmaster Larsen says that when he landed in Frederiksted last night and asked the advice of a Customs officer as regards the securing of a boat to board the steamer, that affable gentleman laughed at him and said he’d pay him $5 for every letter he got from the koat. Mr Larsen says the wager has run up into thou- sands. Pending good light in the bandstand the Native Brass Band announrces its in- tention to give a popular concert tomor- row evening.

R SRS T BT R SRS RESRS R SRS RR Correspondence ANOTHER VETERAN OF THE OLD M. I. S. J. ROBERTS, takes the stand: to re- present the Christiansted Country Dis- trict, in the Colonial Council. VOTERS:; You could not find a better man—as to a stubborn, long-winded far- seeing Debator. Roberts is a true scn of our soil, dating his genealogy deeply into the fargone years. A man whose experience of the working of local mat- ters is without a parallel. His knowledge of the history o. our Island’s politicai affairs dates far back into the early days of the last Government, and right up 10 the present day. A man with an inval- uable memory, well read, and who has ever studiously kept in touch with the trend of public affairs. Roberts is a man, humble in positicn, yes, but weli- respected; counting among his associu- tions, men of standing and worth in the community; careless as to the smiles or frowns of those who understand buying their way tkrough life; alive as to what is what, and who is who, and all the sinister significance of schemers plans: thoroughly versed in the tricks of the trade. Roberts knows well his friends(?) who will seek to shake silken gloved hands with him, but carrying the iron- hands beneath. You cannot do better than voting for Roberts for the seat to represent the Country District of Chris- tiansted, and you may do worst—there- fore help to put him in by your vote today. A TOWN VOTER.
