Whereas, Certain persons complain that the recent action in regard to the change of the Moorefield Post Office from A. B. Howe to Miss Orinda H. Ricketts, was done at the instigation of a few persons and as said persons also claim that the patrons of the office are dissatisfied with the change of Postmasters, therefore.
