Monday morning. The plant has

The State, the bright, newsy eight
page weekly paper, published by the
Milton Printing Company suspended
publication with its issue of May 26.
This action was caused by the refusal
of the Post office department at
Washington to admit it into the mails
as second class mail natter. It
would under the ruling of the depart
ment cost two cents to mail each copy
of the paper, which makes it impossi
ble to continue tne publication. The
State was among our best exchanges,
and we are extremely sorry to lose it.

ner. At 8 o'clock in the morning,

up of the Post and several societies
