Excerpted from the Beacon Flashes column:

The Postmaster at Rocky Mount, one Weeks ARMSTRONG, colored, has been found behind in his accounts about $700. He has been removed and one of the inspectors will have charge of the office until another is appointed. It is said that ARMSTRONG’s bond is no good.
